Some weeks, I have to keep my day job people happier than other weeks. Apologies. Lots of events are coming up in the next few weeks, though, so I'd at least add this blog to your RSS feed so you can keep up. This is going to be a busy summer for trivia folk, and you guys could be making a few bucks if you're willing to stick with it. (Seriously.)
This recap will be comparatively bare-bones, but here you go:
1. On This Day - In which I dropped some small science about Heroes, the late great Kathy Acker, Clarence Darrow, Albert Einstein and Max Schmeling's greatest moment in the ring, even if it was a loss.
2. Audio Round: Devil Or Angel - Ten songs about Devils and/or Angels. INXS, Massive Attack, Juice friggin' Newton, the Charlie Daniels Band, Beck, Beth Orton and X made the cut.
3. Get Fuzzy - Not the sometimes-funny cartoon. Think Fuzzy Zoeller, Fuzzy Math, that sort of thing.
4. Spears - I tried for an hour to come up with a suitable question about Albert Speer, one of the architects of the Nazi regime, but I kept getting sidetracked into questions about Spearmint-flavored Altoids (which are definitely not vegan-friendly) and the "Big Four" beauty pageants.
5. Name 3's
Team names this week:
See you guys tomorrow.
