Birthday and Trivia

It was Duane's birthday - our usual celebration is just going out to eat....so, the boys met us at the Brewery in Pittsboro for a nice meal. Miranda is on a family trip to Illinois :-(

We were about ready to leave when a lady came to the table and asked us if we would go over into the bar area and play a trivia game that they were just starting....since we really didn't have anything much to do, we said "sure".

We had to have a "team name" - Robert came up with the "Bomb Diggity's". I've got no idea what that means, I think it just sounds cute.

Now, we are not really trivia people....but it was fun. Plus we won!!



And we got $50 in gift cards!!! How cool is that?



Some of the questions - test your skills!!

What is actually eclipsed in a solar eclipse?

What is the most "covered" song?

Who was Mohammed Ali's opponent in Manilla?

What Queen song was rejected by Sly Stallone for the Rocky movie?

How many teams play in the World Cup soccer tournament?

What nation produces the most orange juice?

What is the name of the golf course that hosts the Master's?

What was the name of the boy in the movie E.T.?

What was the name of the dog in the movie Back to the Future?

What actually holds pollen on a bee's legs?


The answers:


The earth

Yesterday by Paul McCartney

Fraizer

Another One Bites the Dust

32

So, how did ya do??

Fun! and Happy Birthday!

...I didn't do very well...for some strange reason I knew both of the movie questions...the eclipse...the bee...and the Ali ones...so not very well...

Y'all did super - Congrats!

Love,

Congrats on the trivia! Really wish I could have gone!

I got the eclipse one right & that was it! So maybe it's a good thing I wasn't there because I'd have messed you all up!

They do trivia at the pizza place my family likes to go to, Brixx. I got nearly all the trivia questions right for the first half of the game. But the second round was much more difficult & we lost to a bunch of doctoral students! ;)

So I say...the next book club meeting should be at the Brewery again instead of your house and DRINKS ARE ON KAREN!!!! What 'cha think? Just sayin'...!!! Congrats to the team for having all that worthless (not really, it obviously holds at least a $50 value) knowledge!!
