GUT2407 Posted April 21, 2019 #76 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Once asked who was the first female Lord Mayor of Australia, they said Sally Atkinson, only about 10 to 15 years after my friend Joy Cummings.

Really is it so hard to recognize both colts and broncos as "horsey"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare whogo Posted April 21, 2019 #79 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The German passengers did not much care for the way trivia disturbed their happy hour drinks in the Crow's Nest. The trivia players did not much care for the way the Germans' conversation disturbed their trivia game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I saw his senior picture (Jerome Seinfeld with hair down to the middle of his back) in my DW's senior yearbook. And if he is supposed to be so cool, how come he and the prettiest girl in his graduating class did not know each other? I know which hs Seinfeld graduated from but since you did not post it I will not either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisiamc Posted April 21, 2019 #87 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) We had two key rings that we won at trivia on Seabourn a few years ago. They were nice, but not valuable of course, just gold-coloured metal. Burglars broke into our house three years ago, looking for cash and jewellery (we assume, since they didn’t take the TV or the appliances). We don’t keep cash or nice jewellery lying around, so they took the two key rings and a cheap pair of DH’s cuff links. They didn’t take eight Euros worth of change on the nightstand, which would have been the most valuable thing in their haul if they had. I can just imagine the face of the guy at the We Buy Gold shop when they walked in with their handful of worthless trinkets. But Seabourn might be pleased to learn that burglars thought their key rings were good enough to steal! Edited April 21, 2019 by lisiamc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, so you know what year he graduated? We actually knew he had gone to the same high school as DW. Once we were at my late mother-in-law's house, and Seinfeld was on tv being interviewed by Barbara Walters. He mentioned his age, and our son said he must have been in your class, Mom. We found he yearbook, and lo and behold, there he was. If anyone is really interested, I can post the school and year of graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie MacCoy Posted April 21, 2019 #89 Share Posted April 21, 2019 What's the big deal about what high school Jerry Seinfeld attended? Even if Google doesn't know, wikipedia knows. You can look it up. BTW I have never heard a question about anyone's high school alma mater being asked at a trivia session, so who cares if someone knows every single high school every single celebrity attended? Not me. You complained to the cruise director about being cheated in a trivia game. Seems like a bit of an over response to me. No, that's not an over response. Complaining to the captain - that would be an over response. The complaint was also that they did not have the common sense to recognize an answer was correct if it was not listed in their book. Really is it so hard to recognize both colts and broncos as "horsey"? That reminds me of the trivia host who claimed that I was incorrect when I said that the femur is in the thigh, because he claimed that it was in the leg.

Always surprised that all they give is stupid key chains. Wife and I have a time share in Disney that we go to for usually 8 weeks a year. Trivia contests there give you nice prizes maybe a beer, pizza but the best we won was a non week end day in a cabana. All the games are free.

Sancho_proudfoot Posted April 23, 2019 #95 Share Posted April 23, 2019 We enjoy the trivia. If someone else wants to check google just to win a ballpoint pen so be it. If we win, its because we knew the answers. I like trivia in general, and on TV quiz shows ( l have been on 5 so far but only actually won anything on 1, the very first one). It breaks up the morning on sea days, and is a good excuse for a beer in the afternoon trivia. (Worst one we ever had was on a European cruise where we stupidly entered a sports quiz ( normally a weak subject for us anyway) - every question was on MLB, and of the "who scored blankety blank for so and so in 1948?" variety) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
