FYI: if you edited your post, I am going to use the time/date of your edits as your submission. I will be working on figuring out how far along we are with the contest this evening.

Well, I've got good news and bad news....

Good News: lots of right answers so far!!!

Bad News: SHE AIN'T DONE YET!!!

I have copied in where we are at now...and you crazy kids can do the work to finish this!!!

Not sure if we have a MOST answers winner yet, but I DO KNOW that we DO NOT have a last answer winner. And since I'm not sure yet which prize goes to which winner...

Here is where we have gotten SO FAR:

Our sponsor, Shimano, was first established in 1921 (1 – catch and release) as SHIMANO (2 - Yooper) IRON (3) WORKS(4 - yooper) by SHOZABURO(5 - Yooper) Shimano. First manufacturing BICYCLES (6 - PeonPETA) FREEWHEELS (7 - PeonPETA), the company boomed until the Great (8 catch and release) Depression (9 – catch and release) forced a suspension of business in 1929(10 – Vince Weirick) . But, production began again with the production facilities moving to _____ (11), ____ (12). Affected by AIR (13 – oconoesox) RAIDS (14 PeonPETA) in 1945 (15 – PeonPETA), the company first began the manufacture of whole BICYCLES (16 - PeonPETA) in 1946 (17 - PeonPETA) and officially changed the company name to Shimano INDUSTRIAL (18 - yooper), CO. (19 - yooper) in 1951 (20 - PeonPETA). In ____ (21) SHIMANO (22 – PeonPETA) AMERICA (23) was established and the company first went into the FISHING (24 - PeonPETA) industry in 1970 (25 - PeonPETA) when the FISHING (26 – PeonPETA) TACKLE (27 - PeonPETA) DIVISION (28 - PeonPETA) was created. In 1988 (29 - PeonPETA), the company began fishing operations in EUROPE (30 – Chad V), in 1997 (31 – Chad V) stock of G.LOOMIS (PeonPETA) is acquired and POWER (33 - Oconoesox) PRO (34 - oconoesox) was eventually brought into the fold. The Calcutta (35 - curleytail) D (36 - curleytail) SERIES (37 - curleytail) is now the newest in the CALCUTTA (38 - curleytail) series which began in 1991 (39 – Chad V). The D (40 - curleytail) now incorporates a VARIABLE (41 - PeonPETA) BRAKE (42 - PeonPETA) SYSTEM (43 - PeonPETA) and better “in hand” comfort with the _____ (44) BODY (45 - curleytail) DESIGN (46 - curleytail). The ____ (47) series will crank ____ (48) inches of LINE (49 – catch and release) PER (50 – catch and release) CRANK (51 - curleytail) and the 400 (52 - PeonPETA) Series (53 – PeonPETA) will crank 27 (54 - PeonPETA) INCHES (55 – catch and release) of line.

According to legend, the ANCIENT (56 - PeonPETA) OLYMPIC (57 - PeonPETA) GAMES (58 – PeonPETA) were founded by HERACLES (59 - PeonPETA ) (the Roman HERCULES (60 - PeonPETA), a son of ZEUS (61 - PeonPETA). Yet the first OLYMPIC (62 – Vince Weirick) Games for which we still have written records were held in 776 (63 – Vince Weirick) BCE (64 -PeonPETA) (though it is generally believed that the GAMES (65 – Vince Weirick) had been going on for many years already). At this Olympic Games, a NAKED (66 – Vince Weirick) runner, COROEBUS (67 – Vince Weirick) (COOK (68 – Vince Weirick) from ELis), won the sole event at the Olympics, the STADE (69 – Vince Weirick)- a run of approximately 192(70 – Vince Weirick) METERS(71 – Vince Weirick)(210 yards). This made COROEBUS(72 – Vince Weirick) the very first Olympic champion in history. The ancient Olympic Games grew and continued to be played every 4 (73 – Vince Weirick) years for nearly 1200 (74 – Vince Weirck) years. In 393 (75 - PeonPETA) CE, the Roman emperor THEODESIUS (76 – catch and release) , a CHRISTIAN (77 - PeonPETA), ABOLISHED (78 – PeonPETA) the Games because of their PAGAN (79 - PeonPETA) influences. Though not the first to think of reviving the games, a young FRENCHMAN(80 – Vince Weirick) named PIERRE de COUBERTIN (81), put forth to reinstitute the Olympics as a chance to create more physically fit _______ (82) whom he blamed the loss of the FRANCO (83 –Vince Weirick) – Prussian (84 – Vince Weirick) war as not a defeat because of tactics, but because of a “lack of VIGOR (85 – Vince Weirick)”. The very first MODERN (86 - PeonPETA) OLYMPICS (87 – catch and release) Games opened in the first week of APRIL (88 – Vince Weirick) 1896 (89 – Vince Weirick) in ATHENS (90 – Vince Weirick) , GREECE (91 – Vince Weirick). The events consisted of POLE (92 - PeonPETA) VAULTING (93 - PeonPETA), sprints, shot Put (94 – catch and release), WEIGHT (95 - PeonPETA) lifting, swimming, CYCLING (96 – PeonPETA), TARGET (97 - PeonPETA) shooting, TENNIS (98 - PeonPETA), marathon and GYMNASTICS (99 - PeonPETA) were all events at the first Olympics. The next games were held in PARIS (100 - PeonPETA), then St Louis (101 - PeonPETA) followed by LONDON (102 - PeonPETA) then STOCKHOLM (103 – PeonPETA). The games have been cancelled in 1916(104 - curleytail) , 1940 (105 - curleytail), and 1944 (106 - curleytail) because of WORLD (107 - curleytail) WAR (108 - curleytail) I (109 - curleytail) and World War II. Notable accomplishments include JESSE (110 – Vince Weirick) OWENS (111 – Vince Weirick) winning 4 (112 – Chad V) GOLD (113 – Chad V) MEDALS (114 – Chad V): the 100 (115 – Vince Weirick)-meter dash (116 – Vince Weirick), the LONG (116 – Vince Weirick) JUMP (117 – Vince Weirck) (made an Olympic record), the 200(118 – Vince Weirick)-meter SPRINT (119 – Vince Weirick) around a turn (made a world record), and part of the team for the 400 (120 – Vince Weirick) -METER (121 – Vince Weirick) RELAY (122 – Vince Weirick). During the 1968 (123 – PeonPETA) Olympics TOMMIE (124 - PeonPETA) SMITH (124 - PeonPETA) and John CARLOS (125 - PeonPETA) (both from the USA (126 – Curleytail)) won the GOLD (127 - PeonPETA) and BRONZE (128 - PeonPETA) medals, respectively, in the 200 (129 PeonPETA)-meter race. When they stood (BAREFOOT (130 – Chad V)) upon the victory platform, during the playing of the "STAR (131 - PeonPETA) SPANGLED (132 – PeonPETA) BANNER (133 - PeonPETA)," they each raised ONE (134 – Chad V) FIST (135 - PeonPETA), covered by a BLACK (136 - PeonPETA) GLOVE (137 - PeonPETA), in a BLACK (138 – Chad V) POWER (139 – Chad V) SALUTE (140 - PeonPETA). This act, since it went against the IDEALS (141 – Chad V) of the Olympic Games, caused the two athletes to be EXPELLED (142 – Chad V) from the Games. During these games, Dick FOSBURY (143 - curleytail) debuted the “FOSBURY (144 - curleytail) FLOP (145)”, BOB (146 - PeonPETA) BEAMON (147 - PeonPETA) won the LONG (148 – Chad V) JUMP (149 – Chad V) with an Olympic record of 8.90 (150 - PeonPETA) meters, and drug testing was first introduced.
