Quiz Show

It has been a while since I posted here in large part because school has started back up and once again my life is consumed in various legal doctrine. Although school keeps me busy with work most of the time I still try to find time for a little bit of fun. While most would take a break from intense thought and focus on school by doing something that takes as little mental energy as possible I figured it would be best to find a way to keep my brain active. Thus I am now a regular at a quiz night.

My friend Phelps introduced me to his regular gig, Thursday nights at the TGI Fridays in St. Louis Park (a Minneapolis suburb.) Don't let the location fool you the competition I am up against are far from a group of slack jawed yockals. The trivia, split up into 4 rounds of 12 questions each tests my pop culture knowledge like it has never been tested before. Usually if you miss 4 questions you are out of the running for the top 3. This is where my misspent youth in front of a television becomes beneficial. I am pretty good, but unfortunately not good enough to get our team over the hump and into the winners circle (the best we have ever done is third.)

Here are a few examples of the questions they ask:

1) In the TV show Smallville Clark Kent's father is played by the actor Jonathan Schneider, name the character Schneider played on the TV show The Dukes of Hazard.

2) Name the star of Valley of the Dolls who was murdered by Charles Manson and his followers

3) What was the last name of the principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

if you know the answers to all of these questions you might be a good addition to the 1.21 Giggawatts (our team name.) Please fill out an application and have it on my desk first thing in the morning.
