Trivia Tuesday

~ It turns out that even though I go to trivia every week, I'm incapable of finding the bar when I am actually driving, which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one.

~ Looking up the Facebook hint of the week and remembering it, really comes in handy.  Especially when they do something sneaky like make the Facebook hint of the week the actual answer to a question.

~ I love when you can answer a question, before hearing the question.  For instance, when the round is "Letters" themed and the first category is "Bond, James Bond".  Obviously the answer was always going to be Q, right?

~ Having the entire table sing "Shut up and Dance with me" is not only enjoyable, but also a sure fire way to get the answer to a lyric question.  Turns out Juliet is the Shakespeare character mentioned in the song.  I'm certain that the other people in the bar not playing trivia were wishing that lyric came earlier in the song, so they weren't forced to hear 5 different tables singing the song out loud...

~ The only thing about Motown our entire team could even begin to guess was James Brown, and the fact that they make a little side-step shimmying move thing that one team-member felt the need to demonstrate.  Unfortunately, while the move was spot-on, it couldn't be used as an answer.

~ The only reason our team knew that Maine was the one US State to border New Brunswick, was due to an insane love of Anne of Green Gables as a child.  

~ We FINALLY got a spelling question right because we all agreed on it.  That NEVER happens.  We usually have to different spellings and choose the wrong one of the 2.  Fortunately, Presbyterian shows up on a load of churches so it's an easy one to remember. 

~ Pediculophobia is a fear of lice.  Honestly, doesn't every single person have this phobia?  Is there anyone in the world that says "you know, I really wouldn't mind having lice..."?

~ Our team name in the next life is going to be called The Slow Processors.  The time it takes to get to an answer is quite ridiculous.  And when you factor turning in one answer then thinking of the correct answer a mili-second later, it's just a pain in the neck!
