Summer Hiatus Challenge 2015 - "You asked for it" category requests.

Post by BoK »

Traditionally at the end of the season, we have a category called "You asked for it." Players request categories and we try to come up with clues in those categories. Obviously, we can't use every request, but feel free to request any category you like. Multiple requests are also encouraged. Thanks.

Sounds like someone should be my Facebook friend before I start doing my Trivial Person of the Week contests again in September.

Note to SHC Braintrust: If you really want such a question, PM me and include the level of difficulty you are looking for.
I used to be AWSOP but wanted to be more theatrical.
