Trivia Tuesday

~ Breaking the screen of your phone into a million trillion pieces really puts a damper on the night.  Of  course when there's a Verizon store right next to the bar that allows you to get a new phone immediately for much less than you were expecting, things look up - momentarily.  Until you realize 2 hours later you're saddled with the dumb new iPhone 7 that doesn't have an ear bud jack - which means no more listening in your car. UGH!

~ Having a boss that loves Klimt and talks about the museum in New York endlessly comes in handy when the final question is on that particular artist.  Yay for being quite possibly the only art question I know the answer to!

~ The Red River runs through Hanoi, Vietnam.  Not the Yellow River - why I know random facts about the country of Vietnam and couldn't name a single river here in the USA is completely beyond me...

~ As much as I love Come From Away, you'd think I would have realized that New Foundland is an island and doesn't actually border the United States.  But no - have I mentioned I hate geography?

~ When you have a grand total of 3 gay guys on your team of 8, you better get the question on famous LGBT people correct.  Luckily, they did!

~ During the Belmont Stakes, the winning horse receives a blanket of carnations.  Doesn't that seem a bit cheap?  I mean the horse has just beat at least a dozen other horses, and all he/she gets is some cheap carnations?  At least upgrade a bit.

~ Gordon and Susan on Sesame Street have last names.  Has this been proven?  Has this ever once come up in a single episode of Sesame Street?  I'm pretty sure they're written in the script but not a single person on the planet would actually know what they are, except whoever wrote the question.  In case this ever comes up in your life - the answer is Robinson.

~ When there's a Crazy Loud Girl (CLG) at the table next to you, it's best to ignore her as she screams out answers, puts a turtle shell drink glass down her shirt and pretty much makes a ruckus all evening.
