Trivia Tuesday

~ Our team is a one act team.  We are either fantastic in the first half or the second half, never both.  If we rock the first half - as we did tonight - we will most likely crash and burn in the second half - as we did tonight.

~ Trying to keep up with an Orioles game while the team next door is shouting over a NY Rangers game is quite confusing.  Add to it trivia and music, and you've got an ADD ridden me.

~ Someone, somewhere has way too much love for classic wrestling and holds way too much stock in other people having the same love.  When no one gets the final question correct - maybe you should retire that particular category.

~ For the second time, we were able to guess the answer before hearing the question (just by knowing what the category is) and this time it happened twice in the same round.  Thanks for all the Twitter coverage of Axl Rose joining AC/DC and Doris Roberts passing away.

~ The one thing I don't know about the Brits is the English Monarchy.  I just don't get the appeal.  Luckily others on our team knew that Camilla is the Duchess of Cornwall and not Kate. I do however gain a slight bit of satisfaction from the fact that a lot of Brits are dismissive of the monarchy as well.

~ We will never get a geography question correct, it's just fate these days.  This time it wasn't even African geography that tripped us up, it was world geography.  In case you were wondering, 0 degrees latitude and longitude is found in the Atlantic, not the Pacific.  Even with a 50/50 shot we choose incorrectly. 

~ Working together is the best way to get an answer that no one knows.  One team member only knew one song -  Son of a Preacher Man - that appeared in Pulp Fiction, while another knew that that particular song was sung by Dusty Springfield.  Seeing as the question was asking which Dusty Springfield song appeared in Pulp Fiction, we assumed we had the correct answer. 

~ I learned from my team mates that Aluminum and Platinum are not alloys, but Stainless Steel is.  At some point I should probably learn what an alloy is.

~ Thankfully, the answer to a Hockey question was the Capitals; the only team in Hockey I know anything about.
