That and your knowledge of useless trivia!!

LOL - my knowledge of useless trivia SUCKED at the last Team We Suck gathering in December. WE SUCKED!

Xenalyte and I kicked butt at the one a couple of weeks before that, though. We won a bar tab and then drank it all.

Hey, Xena, sing along..."On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to meeeee....

[Dashing Dasher]

It looks like I'm playing with Team We Suck on March 23rd.

I'm reading my encyclopedia in anticipation.

Did you know that Aardvarks are native to Africa and are noctural?

[Allegra]

They ask weird stuff. And there's always at least one old, obscure TV show or commercial question. (We usually get those right.)

Hint: Read Ken Hoffman's trivia questions in the Chronicle that week. They sometimes slip one of those in.

And read the Chronicle somewhat thoroughly for a couple of days before. He'll pull stuff from there sometimes.

And tell the Quizmaster from Chicaaago that I said "Hello."

And be sure to have some Terminator Nachos. They rock.

[Dashing Dasher]

I was with yet another FReeper at a pub and they had Trivia Night - we thought we were doing great, missed one question.

And then, we realized that there were questions on the back that we didn't see, nor did we answer. So, we got 90% of the ones we answered and 0% of the ones we didn't answer.

Which means, We Sucked.

[Allegra]

No worries there. The Quizmaster from Chicaaago calls out the questions on a mike. He'll repeat ones you don't hear. He'll repeat any you want to hear again at the end. It's pretty informal.

One of the bonus questions is almost always about an upcoming event at Nick's.

Watch out for Uday Hussein. (Or was it Qusay?) Humblegunner has seen him there.

At Nick's.

Drinking beer.

[Paul_Denton]

good morning :)

[humblegunner]

And be sure to have some Terminator Nachos. They rock.

And the big giant glasses of Shiner Bock!

Are we like the funnest crew on FR or what!

[Dashing Dasher]

Oh YEAH!!!

[beaureguard]

Better by a mile!

I liked the Commish, also. That was a good show.

But, Chiklis really plays this role on the Shield well.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Howdy people.

[Nowhere Man]

Just so long as you don't diss me for not drinking!! (a couple of years ago, an 18 year-old girl, who kinda liked me, called me crazy, when she found out that I had never drank or used any drugs.)

Same here, I get those weird looks too. The only time I really drink anything is whiskey when I have a cold or a sore throat. I remember I was coming down with a sore throat a few months ago and I was Freeping with a keyboard in one hand and a bottle of Jim Beam in the other. B-) Beyond that, I don't drink at all. I look at it this way, if I'm that sick, I ain't going to get behind the wheel late at night and unless there is a cop walking down my hall, I'm safe. B-D BTw, my sinus problem last week was a cold coming on, I'm starting to get over it now.

In ohter news, we had a lot of problems with the computers at work during the week and I had to work yesterday so I haven't been around as much. At one point, they were down two days corporatewide. What a mess. B-P

[Nowhere Man]

I like the old classic ones like Wham-O did with their toys like "Wheel-O." I think I still havem ine, somewhere. Also, who can forget the old Ginsu (slices through tin cans) Knives and the old Super Glue commercial with the guy wearing a hat had glued to a girder above him.

Let's see, a favorite of mine was "Mr. Microphone," - "Hey Good Lookin'! We'll be back to pick you up later!" B-)

[Nowhere Man]

I guess thay are too consumed with "Fudgepack mounting" and "TransAmerica", and "Failure to Launch", and other such trash, to notice somethig like this.

Stay away from the Oscars then, I know I will. Blech, it seems like the winner is almost pre-determined. B-( "Brokeback Mountain" when you got other such huge films out there like "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Star Wars" (3rd Episode) and even the penguin movie. Can you say agenda driven? B-P

[Nowhere Man]

I've been hoping (and praying) that something like that would happen........that I would get a call or Email, that someone read my script, and was interested in it.

But alas......... "Fooled again".

Keep on prayin' and pluggin'. I know again, jobwise, I just kept working at the photolab at the drugstore until my current one opened up. I guess ti is sort of like the sotryline in the Christmas special, "Nestor, The Long Eared Donkey" (one of the ones that got the true meaning of Christmas correctly) where he journeyed from Northern Europe to Israel with the help of a cherub sent by God and when he got to Israel, Nestor basically asked, "what's next" and the cherub replied, "you got to stay here, it isn't time." However, when it is, and God opens the door for you, you gotten run and grab that golden ring. I hate to give lack of notice at my old job in my case but the company I'm at needed someone NOW so I had to move and grab.

[Nowhere Man]

So your real name is Jack...Maximus's real name is Barb...Paul_Denton's real name is Don...my name is Philip, and Goodgirlinred is Virginia. That's about all I know.

Name here is Chuck, might as well pitch in from here in "da Birgh." (Pittsburgh)

[Nowhere Man]

Note that the machine part is old, rusted, and worn-out, indicating that it's been there for a looooong time.

I like your dinosaur and sci-fi stuff, maybe you ought to go to various role playing game companies and see if you can become an artist for them or at least sell some pics to them for them to use. I've seen art like that in various games like "Twilight: 2000," "The Morrow Project," early "Gamma World" books, and Steve Jackson's "GURPS" (General Universal Role Playing System) games along with many others.

[Nowhere Man]

That's a pretty safe temperature to be at... I remember I hit 103 when I was nine. THAT was scary.

One time I hit 104 when I was 4 or 5. Not a good feeling, believe me, but Mom got it down. In 2003, I was in hospital for cutting open my left hand which got infected and when my temperature was brought down and when I went home (I was in hospital for 5 days including surgery), the visting nurse took it every day and I was a litle low, got readings like 96.2, 95.8 and so on. It seems like after I'm sick for a while, my temp goes the other way. My gradeschool buddy called me "Reptile Man" once when I told him this. B-)

[Supernatural]
