Tuesdays are for Trivia

~ When a question asks "what's another unit for 525, 600 minutes?" and the entire table starts singing Seasons of Love from Rent, you know it's going to be a good evening.  BTW: If you're not a Rent-head, that's a year.

~ After complaining about 3 ridiculous questions on area codes (choose the city that has the following area code - and each city has a major NFL team), we proceeded to get every question correct.  How did this happen?  I most definitely think we were some statistical outlier.

~ My tendency for clicking on ridiculous news stories, has started to win us shots at least once a week - funny part is, I'm the only one that doesn't actually drink shots... This week it was the worth of the painting the poor falling kid ruined in Taiwan.  $1.5 million apparently. I only clicked because I feel like this kid could have very well been me at some point in my life.  He was just trying to stop himself from falling.  Luckily, I've never been my klutzy self near any multi-million dollar pieces of artwork.  And even more luckily, it helped gain us some points.

~ You know you're at a table of teachers when the very first question is criticized for its misspelling of the word "yield."

~ Apparently, for someone who doesn't see movies I know a lot of movies.  It's just that no one actually listens to me when I say I do.  For instance, I knew that Beauty and the Beast was the only Disney Animated movie to be nominated for the best picture Oscar.  But the entire table said Snow White so who was I to argue?  Dude! I know stuff....

~ After being told next week is Nerd Week, we were all a little too pre-occupied to care about the rest of the questions.  Nerd Week!  What's better than a whole week dedicated to us? We've already decided who's got what fandom and who needs to brush up on what. And we also know exactly what geeky shirts we plan to wear.  Seriously dude, I can't wait! : )
