Just in case the guy on KFAN has got his intellectual property ducks in a row with his Kickstarter thing, I will not refer to this game by the same name he has given his version. Instead, this will be the initial time I "host" a game for the second on this platform with the following rules:
1. I will give you two letters (for example, "K.P"). All the items that week will be a two-word answer in which each word begins with letter in the appropriate spot. The answer can be a person, place, thing, or other two-word phrase. For example, if "K.P." are the letters, then one answer might be Kirby Puckett. Another answer might be "Krakow, Poland." And so on.
2. I will provide six clues for each answer. The clues will be provided one-at-a-time.
3. If you believe you know the answer, make a Spoilered guess in the thread. The point will go to whomever correctly identifies the answer first. If you submit an incorrect response, then you can no longer submit for that particular answer.
4. The participant with the most correct answers at the end of the week wins. (If there is a tie, then I will have tiebreakers for only the participants in the tie.)
5. You're going to be on the honor system, but you should not be using the internet or other resources.
The letters will be revealed, and clues for the first phrase will commence at about 9:00am.

Chuck actually came to Camp Ramadi when I was there. This was at the height of military Chuck Norris joke glorification. Was otherwise an unremarkable event.
I did once make and post a list of inverse Chuck Norris jokes about my CO (who was well-liked). I wonder if I still have those...🤔
That's a nice picture
Agreed

I know I've gotten 2, but I've had a heck of a time thinking of things that have the "CN" initials (except for Cartoon Network), up and until the two I got were triggered by the clues.
I have a bunch of names written down but really struggling with other non-person CN items. I have two.
I mean, there's both my oldest son and youngest daughter, but I'm guessing they won't make the cut...

Not in my wheelhouse, but felt like I was on the right track.
I was thinking an author or writer after the first two, but then the next two clues happened and I stopped considering anything other than musicians. Blargh.
And I was thinking composer.

we need some sort of way to make this pop up as a text on our phones. Then I'll play more!
I only got the Chevy Nova one because I happened to log in at just that point
Same with me for carbon neutral. I was lucky to log on at that moment, especially since I got it in the nick of time.
