Mix 'n' Match Rivers
Question by Ethan Gelber

The Question:

Sometimes we take life too seriously, knowledge for granted, and shoot from too close to the hip. Here then, just for a break in the detail-driven action, just to dip the trivia bar to a more entertaining level, is a chance to draw some connections between one set of things of little importance and another.

The list below refers to ten of the random associations on the On the River main page. Match 'em.

Mile-wide river
Whodunit river
Three-step river
Not ideal for a weekend trip river
Over aerated river
Most toxic river
In-the-red river
Noisiest, shallow river
Rollin' river
Good fishin' river (but not swamp)

The Answer:

Mile-wide river — Moon River
Whodunit river — Death on the Nile
Three-step river — The Blue Danube
Not ideal for a weekend trip river — Deliverance
Over aerated river — Michael Jordan
Most toxic river — River Phoenix
In-the-red river — Amazon.com
Noisiest, shallow river — Joan Rivers
Rollin' river — Proud Mary
Good fishin' river (but not swamp) — Big Two-Hearted River

The Winner:

Tough crowd! Either that or a really tough question. Or, perhaps, too many of us really do take life too seriously, knowledge for granted, and shoot from too close to the hip. Molly Brunner was the only person to attempt an answer. She got 8 out of 10 right. And the two she missed were fully possible. So, of course, we will give her some honorary GORP.com GORP.

THANKS, Molly, for your contribution!
