It's been a while since I have sat down to work on the blog. Between work and learning some new skills, I've had very little time to sit in a quite room and write. I thought tonight would be a good time for this. I'm going to go back over the last few games of trivia real fast for everyone. I have enjoyed playing every single game we have ever played. The group of friends who show up and play have become more and more like family to me. Since I don't spend much time with my own family, it's nice to have some really good friends. I'm going to get on with the trivia now and off the "mushy chic stuff", So here goes the recap for everyone.
Oct. 23rd at Bishop's Bar. We Did good with the Characters & Classic TV, however we missed the current event and NASCAR. In round 2 we aced it with a perfect score. During the half time, we flipped 2 of the answers. I really don't like having to get things in the correct order when it comes to sports. I guess I need more time in my day to watch sporting events. Oh well, the guys did good on getting the list together. In round 3 we only missed the Science question. For those of you who didn't know the Billboards top 100's 6th place, here is the link: What does the Fox say
When we hit round 4 and the most important round, it was all but over for the rejects. One of the questions was a 4 sided polygon, after much debating at the table, we handed in an answer. We should have written:
Quadrilaterals
The US State Capital with the highest altitude was San Fe New Mexico and while we knew that we should know this from having missed it once before, we went with Denver. We now know that Denver is the 3rd highest. So does anyone know what the 2nd one is?
Tonight I looked up Andrew Carnegie and found an interesting story about his life. Here it is for those of you who are interested. http://www.biography.com/people/andrew-carnegie-9238756
The Final answer of the night we did get correct with it being IDES. which brought us back up 30 points, yet not quite enough for the winning ticket. 1st place went to "All for One" and 2nd place to "The Roll Tide Rollers".
With the funnest thing I heard that night being the words..."I rebuke thee", I thought I would roll laughing. That was during a private conversation with only our table. The most fun with an answer tonight was "George W. Bush, The smart one"
Thanks to Amber our waitress, who shared a little information about the table we sat at tonight. She said that not 1 single team that had sat there ever won a game and that all the teams had tried that spot. Guess next time we are going to switch tables and take over the one where the winners always sit.
Well that's it for tonight my friends. No way I can stay up to fill you in on all the fun from different nights. I also didn't take the time to read back over this, so you get the rough draft on this one guys. It's off to sleepy land for me. If I hurry, I can get in some sleep before 5am wake up call. Sleep well
