You Like To Play Trivia, Right?

You like to play trivia, right? Well, why wait an agonizingly long weekend to answer ShanRock questions when you can take the Triviology survey now?! My quizzes have 7 rounds; this survey has 7 questions. Triviology is fun to play, and the survey asks for your opinions on fun stuff. The “correct” answers will be revealed when I have enough responses to decide on the most pressing query – what shall I name my leprekey? I’ve even got selections laid out for you – just click your mouse a few times, and you’re done – I would truly appreciate your input. Here’s a picture of the little guy to inspire you:
One question which has overwhelming results so far concerns my next lunar quiz, Save Ferris – A John Hughes Trivia Night. I asked if people objected to my selection of films to focus upon: “16 Candles,” “Pretty In Pink,” “Breakfast Club,” “Weird Science,” and “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” So far, the vast majority wants me to indeed stick with these teen comedies, so unless the voting world gets turned on its ear, that will be the program. I hope to see you there, on Saturday, September 5th at Peter’s 19th Hole at 7:00. Costumes are encouraged . . .
and if fact, wearing an argyle sweater, tan trousers, and red shoes might be a good strategy – the other teams will think you’re “retarded.” As for upcoming lunar quiz themes, there is enthusiastic early support for The Cubicle Quiz (“Office Space” & “The Office”) and for the 1990s (pop culture and book learnin’ from the whole decade).

There are a couple of differences in the upcoming Triviology week schedule. First, Scott will be your host this Thursday at La Merde. Also, Wednesday at Peter’s, my format will be the same, but the night will be a fundraiser for Ooligan Press of PSU. I’ll still have plenty of pop culture, but the material will slant towards literature. Ooligan Press is asking for a $5 donation to their non-profit organization to play the quiz, and both they and Peter’s will award prizes. The grand prize for the winning team is $50 off your tab – that’s a pretty mighty reward for having fun, and a great excuse to buy yourself more beer!
