Trivia Recap (STREAMING) – April 2, 2020

Don’t get me wrong! I really, really miss “going out” for trivia nights! If nothing else, they were an excuse to put on “outside world clothes,” take a shower, and if all went well…have some money slashed off the bar tab! Of course I also enjoyed the little bits of social interaction that came along with it (I miss my trivia teammates…even the ones I don’t live with)! I miss the spirited competition with other teams, I miss seeing the other players, I miss seeing and chatting with the hosts…

All of the said…some of the trivia hosts have been finding creative ways to still bring pub trivia to the world! Even if the “pub” is your own living room! There is something to be said for being able to lounge in the PJs on your comfy couch and hear some trivia questions! And you ALWAYS have the best seat in the house! No jockeying for seats with other players…

So on the night of April Fool’s Day, I made myself an extra strong Cape Codder cocktail (so I would have enough drink to last the entire game without doing a refill), settled into a comfy position on the couch…and got to hear some trivia questions! Special thanks to the Sporcle host Mike D (among several other trivia hosts) for doing this! Best part is I go to take photos of all of the questions and didn’t have to take notes!

Speaking of questions….

1. In 1996, what fast food company took out full page ads in several newspapers announcing that they had purchased the Liberty Bell (on April Fool’s Day)?

2. What rock band’s only song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 was the 2011 single “Sail?” No idea…

3. What is the name of the title animal, who belongs to Wilbur and Carol Post, on a sitcom that orignally aired from 1961 to 1966? Yay, I’m old and my mom loved that show…
