Things I Learned From Pub Quiz This Week!

"COIM EN AND PILL YAHSOLF AP AH CHEYER..."
Even smart people can learn things while drinking and hosting trivia!  Here is some science that dropped on me this Sunday at my Geeks Who Drink Quiz...You're welcome. 

1. Cyndi Lauper
is responsible for the singing voice in the theme song to Pee Wee's Playhouse. Wacky!

2. "The Way" by Fastball is quite possibly the WORST song ever sung by a human.  Quite possibly.  Deciding this would require a back to back listening of "Allstar" by Smashmouth and "The Way." I will never do this.

3. I pronounce the word "milk" like "melk." I don't know what this means since I am not Canadian.

4. I mispronounce the word "boson." This has nothing to do with an accent and everything to do with me being stupid.

Oh Aloysius, you randy nutter butter!
5. Some people think Nicholas Cage is a bad actor.

6. There is a castle in New York City in Central Park. *It is named after the world's second most famous butler after Alfred, Mr. Belvedere.

P.S. This is not a fact since Alfred is not a real person like Mr. Belvedere was.

More pointless knowledge coming next week!

Things I Learned From Pub Quizzes This Week...

As my training begins to become a Geeks Who Drink Quizmaster, I realize there is very little I know about the world at large (or anything that happened prior to the 70's).  In order to spread my new wealth of random knowledge, I will share with you sporadic facts I learn after each pub quizzing experience.  I should warn you, it may very well change your life (but probably not)...

Week One Random Facts:

1.  Fitness guru and Vietnam protestor, Jane Fonda once won an Oscar.  The movie was called, KLUTE, where she played a hooker and has (alleged) REAL on-camera sex with co-star Donald Sutherland.  Gross.  Side note: Donald Sutherland was once in fact, not old.

2.  Batman has made philosophical statements that rival Frederick Nietzsche.

3.  You should not call the doctor from Doctor Who, Doctor Who.  He is simply, The Doctor (enter # here).

4.  The French Open just happened and somebody won it.

5.  President Theodore Roosevelt once had a badger thrown at his face and kept it as a pet because he, like all badgers, doesn't give a shit.
