Trivial Matters

~ Apparently, bars don't tend to show State of the Union addresses.  Unfortunately, that means I missed President Obama make his final address and vow to find a cure for cancer - truly one of the best goals to ever set!  Go Obama!

~ Thrupple is a word we learned this evening.  It means a couple that's actually made up of 3 people in a relationship.  And sometimes, if people are a little off, that could mean they have a "thrupple in their head..."

~ Even knowing there would most definitely be a David Bowie question, didn't help anyone answer the question correctly.  We know he was prolific, but he's definitely not on our radar. 

~ Remembering AU is the abbreviation for Gold by the trick I learned in 6th grade (Gold is AU because U want gold - while Silver is AG), finally came in handy after all these years.

~ I'm quite good at spelling.  Though no-one on my team (and that includes me) realizes that.  

~ George was the only one not wearing a suit on the album cover for Abbey Road.  I was pretty proud of myself for remembering that one. Must be the trip to Abbey Road - I miss London!  (But I digress...) The Beatles are apparently, much more our style than David Bowie is.

~ Tom Hanks has been in so many movies that he was given the honor of having an entire round based on himself.  Luckily, we have a Tom Super fan on our team.  The only thing I got out of the round was the realization that Tom Hanks was in 2 movies that started with the word Saving (Saving Mr. Banks and Saving Private Ryan.)  Compelling stuff I tell ya...

~ The best side conversation of the evening (well, second best because thrupple was pretty entertaining) revolved around the entire table of non-boxing fans explaining KO's and rounds to the person at the table who was the most completely  clueless about boxing.  For people who hate violence as much as we do, we know a surprising amount of Boxing trivia - that may be slightly worrisome.
