Trivia Tuesday

~ Team Buy Me A Drink First are total creatures of habit.  When the normal Trivia dude goes on vacation and we get a new person calling the questions, and that new person doesn't project the questions on the screen, asks some questions all at the same time, can't read the questions well, and generally takes FOREVER to finish the game, we get very, very annoyed! All of that being said, we couldn't leave because tonight was the last night for trivia at this bar.  It's apparently shutting down next week and we're very sad about that!  We plan to live a nomadic lifestyle over the next few weeks in our hopes to find a bar and a trivia dude that we like as much as the ones we're losing.

~ Shots that look like cereal milk and taste like chewing on a cinnamon stick are truly disgusting!

~ It is nearly impossible to remember 3 categories when the trivia dude says them only once.  What's even harder to do is to figure out whether or not you got points for a particular round when the guy giving the points just forgets to tell you...

~ A kumquat looks like a small orange - I feel way too many fruits look like small oranges, including small oranges. (Also, something else I just learned, orange is a very hard word to type...)

~ Whenever you think an answer to a question on College Hoops is going to be Duke, you'll be wrong.  Always go with some other team.  I'm pretty sure we've answered Duke for every College Hoops question and never answered correctly.

~ John Dunn wrote a poem about a flea.  Don't you think there are about a million better insects to write about?  I'm sure flea was easy to rhyme with things, but romantic-sounding it's not.

~ 1000 Kilograms is also known as a MegaGram or a Metric Ton.  I think Megagram sounds like some Transformers villain, so much that I would have thought that I had heard that before.  

~ Johnny B. Goode - a song I've heard about almost incessantly since Chuck Berry died last week - only made it to number 80 on the Billboard Top 100 list.  This is a song that went to the moon.  Shouldn't we have sent a song that was #1?

~ The most productive tomato plant in the world yielded 1154 pounds of tomatoes in one year.  If I had that plant, it would cover me for a summer! : )
