A couple of papers ago, I talked about a person clutching pearls on YouTube when we played a game celebrating the birthday of a fellow who goes by “Osama Number Five,” aka “Osama.”
In honor of that and because I'm super busy today with ad sales and design, I'm going to put portions of that very game right here for your pleasure, or pain. Wow, that was a mouthful.
“Osama,” not his real name, was born on November 11, 1962, so there will be some questions pertaining to November 11 and 1962.
There will also be questions related to his hobbies and interests as well. No cheating—enjoy! (As usual, forgive my odd sentence structure and stranger-than-usual grammatical “choices” in this particular piece.)
One: John Anthony West, who is one of Osama's favorite researchers, became rather famous for re-dating this ancient “item” located near some “triangle” structures and declaring it to be at least twice it's accepted age. His reasoning had to do with many things, one of which was undeniable rainwater erosion. What is the object of which I speak?
Two: Which musical group, which happens to be Osama's fave, had mountains coming out of the sky and standing there?
Three: This American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer, who is heavily associated with the “mighty Misses SIP” said: “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
Four: Which discipline in horsemanship contains a pyramid of training including: collection, straightness, impulsion, connection, relaxation and rhythm? Osama is well versed in this particular style and rode in competitions from a young age, until his mid thirties.
Five: John Anthony West and a Geologist named Dr. Robert Schoch had their research featured on a documentary called “The Mystery of the Sphinx.” The person who narrated this documentary is famous for parting the red sea and for representing a particular gun lobby here in the Belly O the Beast, when he was alive, of course. Who was this narrator?
Six: Without deviation from the norm, THIS is not possible, according to Frank Zappa.
Seven: The Pennsylvania Centralia Mine began to do THIS in 1962 and hasn't stopped since. What is it? In other words, what is the claim to fame of this particular mine?
Eight: This light was invented in 1962 by a person at General Electric.
Nine: In the 11th hour of the 11th month on the 11th day, THIS came to an end. For those who carry out alternative research, the numbers are important as they connect to various secretive societies, etc.
Ten: A plan to carry out a false flag to justify war with Cuba was approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1962. Kennedy rejected it. It remained classified for 35 years. What was this called? It's something you have in a sterile environment (hopefully) and a possible description of a forest region that is not in the southern region.
Eleven: What was the name of George Jetson's boss?
Twelve: On November 11, 1940, this military vehicle which has since turned into the family car, pretty much, made its debut.
Thirteen: Osama is a person who accepts the evidence as presented by Dr. Judy Wood in her book, “Where did the Towers Go.” According to her findings, how many buildings with the WTC prefix, were affected during the 911 “episode?”
Fourteen: These people, Osama included, work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators. It is one of the newer branches of SOMETHING and dates back to the late 19th century. It is the branch that deals with the technology of something in which Nikola Tesla had an interest.
Fifteen: What is the name of the three beat gait of a horse?
Sixteen: In 1962 a chart topper called “I can't stop loving you” was “in play” quite a bit. Who is the artist?
Seventeen: The shortest Oscar speech ever was given by this person in 1962 at age 16 for her part in “The Miracle Worker.” She said “Thank You” and zoomed off stage. Who was she?
Eighteen: Joni Mitchell composed a song based on what she had heard from her then-boyfriend Graham Nash about this specific event. She had not been there herself, since a manager had told her that it would, instead, be more advantageous for her to appear on The Dick Cavett Show. What was this world-changing event?
Nineteen: Osama has this kind of pet and named it MAU which is Egyptian for this particular pet.
Twenty: “The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are, as a people, inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings...,” said this person in 1961.
Answers: One: Sphinx. Two: YES.
Three: Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens. Four: Dressage; More info from Osama: Dressage was developed by the Greek General Xenophon in the 5th century, and its ultimate goal is to build the physical strength and obedience to allow the horse to move as freely as a horse moving freely without a rider. The training can typically take 8 years to get to the upper levels.
Five: Charlton Heston. Six: Progress. Seven: Burn, is on fire, is burning (I heard a rumor that it stopped but that's OK).
Eight: LED light. Nine: WWI.
Ten: Operation Northwoods. Eleven: Cosmo Spacely or just Mr. Spacely is fine.
Twelve: Jeep. Thirteen: All seven; more info at: wheredidthetowersgo.com.
Fourteen: Electrical engineer. Fifteen: Canter.
Sixteen: Ray Charles. Seventeen: Patty Duke.
Eighteen: Woodstock Music and Art Festival or Woodstock
Nineteen: Cat. Twenty: JFK
That's it for this week ladies and gents. I hope you got all of the answers right. I used a lot of visual aids in the official YouTube version of the “Osama Game” but still managed to get twenty of them in print for you. Aren't you delighted?
