🚢❄️🔽😱🎻: Describe historical/cultural events with emojis!

@ThomasF I think the first one might be the Tonya Harding / Nancy Kerrigan scandal. For the second one I was also thinking Watergate. Not sure about the third, something about that shooting of a tiger or wild cat a couple of years ago?

KuoH

@kuoh Yes, yes, and no. The last one is more of a stretch, I’ll admit.

@kuoh @Moose Last one is when the tiger bit that magician guy. Had to search their names… Siegfried & Roy

@medz That’s it!

@ThomasF

@medz Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson II, billed as “The Sound and the Fury” and afterwards infamously referred to as “The Bite Fight”

@medz My mind just sees a can of soup, disco stu, reporter, fire and sadness… hmmmmm?

KuoH

@medz This could work, though I don’t get the point of the can. Unless I’m completely off…

The Station nightclub fire occurred on Thursday, February 20, 2003, in West Warwick, Rhode Island, killing 100 people and injuring 230. The fire was caused by pyrotechnics set off by the tour manager of the evening’s headlining band Great White, which ignited plastic foam used as sound insulation in the walls and ceilings surrounding the stage.

@shahnm no soda pop emoji. That’s a can of soda

@medz @shahnm Michael Jackson’s Pepsi commercial hair fire?

@RiotDemon @shahnm yes.

@shahnm Pearl Harbor

@msklzannie You got it!

@shahnm the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria?

@youngkac Yes, but what are they up to…?

@shahnm sailing from Spain and discovering America/ The Bahamas. Happy late Columbus Day!

@youngkac That’s it!

@shahnm trail of tears

@medz Yep!

@tnhillbillygal Louisiana Purchase

@shahnm yep

@tnhillbillygal Good one!

@shahnm Arbor Day

@msklzannie Right-o!

@aetris Waking up every morning to check Meh.com and watching your money fly away to them?

@itsbin - Close, but I didn’t mean every morning…

@aetris @itsbin Must be two for Tuesday then.

KuoH

@kuoh - Right, right.

US Women’s basketball team beats Chile 115-39?

@aetris the jersey is really a “tank” top

And only 90s kids will get it

@Kevin I was thinking Brandi Chastain in the 1999 women’s world cup, but the Chilean flag doesn’t fit and I’m really stumped with the tank top.

@Moose that’s the Texas flag

@Moose this might help or make it even worse…

@Kevin Ummm … Waco?

@rockblossom yes!

@CaptAmehrican Something about Darwin?

@medz
Perfect. Darwin voyages via beagle and because of finches writes origin of species which gives medicine

@medz My first thought is Brittany Spears…

@medz 2009 VMAs?

@Moose YUP
/image spears umbrella

@medz Wow, I have never seen this photo in my life. I’ve seen the other ones from that night, but never knew an umbrella was involved.

@Moose Yeah, dude. She went ham on some car door with that umbrella.

@Moose - Buddhist protests against Diem in 1963?

@aetris Yep, Thích Quảng Đức.

@Moose - Here’s one with something in common with the above:

@rockblossom Psh this one’s easy, it’s the Iran Contra Affair.

@Moose So wrong! Watergate break-in.

@Moose Brexit?

@sammydog01 yep, specifically people who voted “leave” as a joke

Guion Bluford?

@medz We put a man on a moon and brought him back alive…

@lichme It represents a sad day.

@lichme - Shouldn’t Rutledge be - ?

@aetris It’s actually more of a combination of both, but seemed a little… top heavy

@lichme ?!? I thought was Bezos!

@aetris But…the money is leaving and going to

@lichme - What can I say - to me, just looks more like Bezos. I mean, talk about top heavy - ???

Here you go:

@lichme That’s f’n brilliant. Sad, but brilliant.

@Kevin Ineed a hint. I can’t be a total loser here too.

@sammydog01 it happened in 1981

@ticklescratch Are the guys on the forums crossing their legs about now?

@ticklescratch hahahaha as soon as I saw “knife eggplant” I knew what it had to be. Great job on this one.

@Moose 9/11 somehow??

@shahnm Nah. A hint, everything up to and including the trophy is one thing, and the rest is another.

@Moose Lindbergh baby kidnapping and murder?

@msklzannie …aaaaand?

@Moose his dad being the 1st to fly across the Atlantic
