~ Sitting in a booth rather than a high top table just seems weird after so many weeks of sitting up high. I'm choosing to go with that as the reason we managed second to last place tonight...
~ Having a stand-in quizmaster is also strangely unsettling. Especially when the guy sounds like he's auditioning for host of The Price is Right. Though I must admit he's faster than the usual dude, which I did appreciate.
~ The 1970s is an impossible category for a team that was born in 1980 or after. We knew not a single answer to any of the 3 questions. It was sad, really. I mean we had no idea the Gibbs were responsible for a quarter of the top 100 hits or that Star Wars was the top grossing pic of the decade.
~ When I couldn't admit knowing the answers to the first 3 questions (thankfully the rest of the team knew them), I assumed it was going to be rough. I mean, the first question at least is a softball - and I didn't even know that one!
~ When you get a category called Famous Ladies these days, you're always hoping for the best and expecting the worst. It was lovely to see the question be about Sandra Day O'Connor rather than a Kardashian.
~ Cheese apparently pre-dates the written word. My issue with this is, how do we know if people were eating cheese before they were writing if no one was around to write about it?
~ Black Treacle is Molasses in England. That's a Britishism I had never heard - what's happening to me?
~ Seeing as the Science Teacher of the team wasn't able to come this evening, we of course got questions on anatomy, astrology and the periodic table. And seeing as the grad student that had just taken a course on Game of Thrones, wasn't here either, we also got a question on that...
