Halftime – Out of apple, banana creme, cherry, pumpkin and pecan, name the four pies most preferred by Americans – in order. No source was offered for this…managed to only get one.
Scores: We were in third with 25, tied with Pants. Pigeon in first with 32.
Round Four
1. Newsletter answer – look this up at mytrivialive.com. Too lazy to type it and no time!
2. ’80s Movies – What ’80s film is based on a Stephen King novella entitled “The Body?” 

I love ANY excuse to use a photo of River Phoenix in a trivia recap! Here he is in “My Own Private Idaho.” Oh yeah, he also appeared in the film mentioned above.

3 Planets – What planet has a big dark spot?

Final Category – U.S. States
What state changed its capital from Guthrie to its current capital city name in 1910? Miss, no prizes. We picked a neighboring state that also has a city called Guthrie. D’oh! Who knew so many U.S cities were named for singer Woody Guthrie (lol)?

Guthrie, OK was NOT named for ’60s folk singer Arlo Guthrie, who was the son of legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. But Arlo Guthrie DID write “Alice’s Restaurant,” which is a lengthy song about Thanksgiving, the draft, misdemeanors, etc.

We’ll see all y’all in the next recap sometime next week! Have a wonderful holiday weekend…Go Pods! And here’s a few photos from some goofing off during the game…
