Trivia Tuesday

~ It would seem that if you let the cat out of the bag to the friends you've known for years and years that you have a slight phobia of feet.  They will torture you the entire evening by trying to put their dirty, sweaty, disgusting feet on your clean and non-disgusting legs.  They will also attempt to determine just how bad the phobia is by asking a variety of what if questions.  All I can say is - feet are gross!

~ I spent the day thinking of the delicious french toast I would be having this weekend in NYC so it was only fitting that the very first question was about french toast.

~ When the secret clue of the week is Monks you sort of assume the answer will be of the religious kind.  Nope, in this instance - which actually worked in our favor - the question was about Adrian Monk, the OCD detective on the show Monk.  TV is so much easier than obscure religious priests...

~ Most people have a favorite M&M color.  I on the other hand don't understand why they do.  They all taste the same.  Why do we care what color they are? However, if you care - like my friend Jen who boycotted the blue M&M's for a while - Tan was fazed out in 1998 to make room for blue.

~ 3 Gay Guys and 3 Straight Girls managed to get 3 correct out of 6 in a question about Nascar drivers, so there's that.

~ Everyone at our table uses a lyric from the song Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani when we're spelling out the word "Bananas"

~ I am a food snob because I've never eaten a twinkie before.  I feel like I'm ok with being a snob in this instance. 

~ The band Bad Company thought that The Presidents of the United States of America stole "guitar riffs" from their song "Feel like Making Love" for use in "Peaches." As much as I sing them both, I just don't hear it.  Though I'm pretty sure Feel Like Making Love will be stuck in my head for the next 2 weeks...

~ Off weeks - aka weeks that don't count toward the season score - are just so much easier than on-weeks.  How else do you explain the fact that we broke 100 and managed to stay in 3rd place even without knowing the last answer?
