Trivia Thursday

~ When attending Trivia at a super dive bar, white capris, a navy cardigan and pearls may not be appropriate attire - or so I've been informed.

~ Also, as open as I am to all sorts of people, it turns out I'm super judgey when it comes to the type of people that frequent dive bars and dive bars in general.  And on an entirely different note, why, God, why would anyone eat the popcorn that's just sitting on the tables in baskets?

~ Finally a Shakespeare question, and it's on Romeo and Juliet?  Ugh!  My absolute least favorite and one the English teacher at the table hadn't read (how is that possible!?) This particular question lead to some conversation on whether Shakespeare is better when read or performed.  It's obviously so much better when you see it live!

~ Questions on Basketball, Hockey and the geographic size of states seemed to be our downfall this evening.  What is it about sports and geography that kills us every time?

~ In 1977 Ron Howard directed and starred in a movie called Grand Theft Auto. He was 23 at the time.  How is that possible?  I can't even direct my car half the time, and he was directing movies?

~ My Modern Family knowledge was better than my Friends knowledge this evening.  Fizbo is so much easier to remember than knowing Elle Macpherson was Joey's roommate.

~ It's quite possible to remember all the words to American Pie even when the quiz-dude decides to play the Weird Al - Star Wars version of the song instead. 

~ The quiz that I took today that determined my intelligence level was that of someone with a PhD (it's not) did not do too much for me this evening at trivia.  However, I was able to reach the answer to a question on Toni Morrison's Beloved 2 seconds before the English teacher, so I'm calling that a win.
