Darn, I wish I’d married a guy who was more of a “Brony!” Because that would mean that I would be off the hook for knowing things about “My Little Pony.” I just don’t know much about these toys – whether that is because “My Little Pony” didn’t interest me when the first toys came out in 1981 – which could very well be true – or because “My Little Pony” was off my pop culture radar.

The only fact I’ve uncovered about “My Little Pony” over the past few years that I thought was kind of cool was that there was a pony named “Surf Rider,” which is also the name of the final track you will hear to the 1994 film Pulp Fiction. Well? What are you waiting for? Look that one up in your music streaming service now! 🙂 It’s pretty cool! Just be sure to put in “The Lively Ones” as the artist.

In other news, us having watched Deadpool 2 helped us get an answer about (drum roll) My Little Pony lore correct! Read on to see that madness…

Round One

1 DOGS – What breed of dog is named for a state in northern Mexico?

2.  TV ACTRESSES – Of the actresses who play the four main characters on Sex and the City, which one is nearly ten years older than the other three?

3. CHARACTERS – Camilla the Chicken and Rizzo the Rat are amongst characters that have appeared in what media franchise acquired by Disney in 2004 known for its syndicated TV show that aired from 1976-1981 and numerous films?

4 HOCKEY – HOCKEY – Which of the five main ice hockey positions has NOT had a player win the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP since 2000? We actually made the correct guess! If you were playing this virtual game with us, you could see me cheering on the Zoom cameras! What could be more exciting than that? The last time I was this excited to get a hockey question correct, the answer was Bobby Orr, which I knew because of “Peanuts” comics. This game was either in 2012 or 2013, and was at a barbecue joint near me that I will never, ever visit again because of that one time they cut me off! Pffft…

Mystery One (this is going to be hard)!

CRAYON OR PONY – Answer whether each given item is a color of Crayola crayon or the name of a character from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Answer “Crayon” or “Pony.”

1. Blue Bell

2. Sunny Skies

3. Pinkie Pie

4. Wisteria

We got #3 correct because of Deadpool jokingly calling a character in the movie by that name (she had pink hair). We also got #4 correct, missed the others.

Round Two

5 RIVERS – Which of the Great Lakes is drained by the 40-mile-long St. Clair River? A very “local” question for the two of us…nice little lifeline!

6 ENTERTAINMENT – What New York City entertainment venue in Midtown Manhattan is nicknamed the “Showplace of the Nation?” FB host clue.

7 TOP TENS – According to the title and lyrics of a 2002 top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, who “was a punk,” wore “baggy clothes,” and is “rockin’ up MTV?” We incorrectly guessed Slim Shady.

8 STOCKS – What company used the single-letter ticker symbol “C” on the New York Stock Exchange from 1925-1998?

NERD POINT: What corporation uses the ticker symbol “C” currently?

Got one correct company, not both.

Mystery Round Two

We were in sixth going into the final with 42 points.

FINAL QUESTION CATEGORY – Extreme Sports

We wagered zero on this.

BASE jumping, a form of parachuting, is an acronym that represents the four categories of objects from which one can jump. What do two of the four letters in BASE stand for?

We moved to fifth place with our conservative wager.

As always, Go Pods, and stay classy, Pinkie Pie!
