greg's idea of a WILD night of partying

[minxnim]

my parents would get so pissed that i'd get all the science and nature shit. it drove them mad.

 

[goatschool]

honestly, i never said i could answer ALL of the questions

 

[FalseTodd]

i only like to ask the questions, but i hate the sound of my voice

science and nature (green) was always my best category in the old-school trivial pursuit.

in this book lovers' one, i managed to get everyone to agree to play the weekend i got it, and my first question was some fucking thing like WHAT ALL STAR PITCHER WROTE A BOOK ENTITLED "IN YOUR FACE" IN 1989 blah blah blah. the book lovers' questions are really well-dispersed throughout popular culture.

amanda, you very well might beat me--i probably get 2 or 3 out of 5 right.

i am pretty awesome at "trivial pursuit 90s edition"--but so are my roommates. it's funny; we played it the week after that fabled book lovers' trivial pursuit, and everyone was commenting how easy 90s edition is--EVERYONE was getting streaks of 3-6 or 7 right in a row!

about a week later, on the T, i heard two BC girl types talking about trivial pursuit 90s edition and they were like "omg! so hard! omg!"

sample of some of the 90s trivial pursuit questions:

"What four green-skinned buddies loved pizza and had a rodent mentor named Splinter?"

i mean, COME ON.

 

[minxnim]

jesus

 

[minxnim]

also, i'm kidding. i buckle under trivial p. pressure.

i wanna go on jeopardy and win a few hundred thousand dollars but i suspect i'll totally buckle and miss easy questions and be a laughingstock of everyone i know for all time.

a friend's girlfriend went on and the final jeopardy question was something like 'what american airplane and aerospace manufacturer is headquartered in chicago and also performs defence contracting?'

and since like 11 of her family members work for boeing they were all going YES! YES! AMY WON!!!!!!!!

and alex trebek reveals the final answers and she had written, like, "lockheed martin" and lost all her money.

 

[minxnim]

haha oh my god that's so funny but so sad

 

[xfer]

okay i just filled out the form for a jeopardy! interview in new york city. hope it's not a day i can't be in town!

 

[minxnim]

if you win that i'd totally high five you

 

[FuSoYa]

i'm totally going to yell answers at the screen

 

[azal]

you mean questions

 

[xfer]

i'm totally going to lose because i forget to phrase the answer in the form of a question. i know it.
