I do panels at a science fiction convention in San Diego every year, and I hide during their trivia for chocolate game because every time they say, "Okay, this is an easy one," I realize how little I know. On the other hand, I've been to a wedding that was done entirely in Klingon, so I have some geek cred.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19467384550888452892011-03-16T13:33:40.232-04:002011-03-16T13:33:40.232-04:00"You know.

Yes, I do kno..."You know. LIke it does."<br /><br />Yes, I do know! Great post. On the East Coast, I'm the trivia queen, or at least I like to think I have an answer for everyone (geek!). But, somehow, I think you've got me beat.<br /><br />Although, I do have a deluxe Star Trek trivia game I got in Vegas when the Hilton still had the exhibit... that I kick ass with!D. L.

R and I both came from Gilbert and Sullivan families, so it's not uncommon for us to throw in an "Oh joy! Oh rapture!" or "I say, that's a picturesque uniform," into our conversations, but it's not as if I know enough to recall the title of their operetta that makes fun of Lord Byron and the other romantic poets.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-14870706311087022632011-03-14T09:45:17.747-04:002011-03-14T09:45:17.747-04:00Jeremy - that doesn't scare me at all!

Band members, songs, albums, record labels (to some degree), year ... and even in some cases, if it was a #1 hit at any point in time. Sometimes, he is really good - remakes. If its a remake, who did the original, how does it differ, etc. Although, most of his trivia is from the late 70-early 90s, and is rock, and some pop rock. No country, rap, etc.<br /><br />It's funny how the brain works sometimes.Michelle Houston/Houston Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046927781480479979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-49009010945703746642011-03-14T07:27:14.820-04:002011-03-14T07:27:14.820-04:00Saturday's Guest could be YOU!
