Whoo hoo, Table 22!
This weekend a group of Young Adults decided to test our knowledge of all things trivial - at the Mind's Eye trivia night, held at the Shrine.
Dave, Christine, Carol, Susan, Katy, Anndrea, Elise and myself comprised table 22. Fueled by an extreme sugar high - table 22 managed to win Third Place - and $40. (which we promptly donated back) I for one, have never won at a trivia night - my husband (who is also disgustingly good at knowing little nuggests of all things trivial) once won the 50/50 drawing... but that is as close as I've come to victory.
I think that we would have won, except for a few factors:
1) we didn't listen to Carol about the Tootsie rolls
2) we didn't listen to Susan about the # of calories in gum
3) we didn't listen to DAVE about when Cover Girl became popular...
the question was more a "Christie Brinkly" question than a "make-up question"
4) the last category - "Toons and Tots" - way too many questions about SpongeBob and Jimmy Neutron - no one at Table 22 has kids - so we only got 6 out of 10 on that one
So how are you at trivia? Try out a few sample questions below -
What candy is named for the Mars family horse?
What is the full name of Prince Charles of England?
Who was Barbie's best friend?
What is the third element on the periodic table?
What Sacrament is missing from this list?
Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick, Baptism, Marriage, Reconcilliation, Eucharist
What treat was called "fairy floss" at the 1904 World's Fair?
Anyone know?

i dont know much about whats going on in the ministry stuff, but now that i'm in college its sad not to be going to things, so if there is anything going on that is over weekends or anything that'd be great to know about. i just did the tec and stuff, but its hard to keep such a strong faith at college. anyhow, i'll keep checkin the blog for a reply on new events. thanks!

WOOT! Our team did an awesome job at the Trivia Night - next time we take home the big cash!!! (Or donate it back, depending on what our sugar-rush tells us next time.)
I think I'll bring some tea sandwiches next time so I don't leave with a tummy ache and headache from all the chocolate and other niceties :-)

I agree - next time we should have some non-sugary snacks - though, the sugar could be why we won!
