Trivia night got off to a rocky start, when I arrived to find that the rest of my team was absent. A couple of early misses had me thinking about leaving at halftime, but, ninety minutes and a couple of lucky guesses later, an improbable victory gave a much-needed infusion of cash to the Preschool's coffers.
The difficulty level of trivia has been a lot higher lately, but I feel like the ones I missed were actually pretty easy. Judge for yourself.
- What singer was the subject of the Hello Gorgeous Museum in San Francisco, which gave out wigs and fake noses to visitors wishing to impersonate her?
- What multi-faceted character did comic Don Rickles voice in the movie Toy Story?
- What medical procedure, applied to humans, did the World Health Organization decry as "against human integrity and morality?"
- What clothing line, a spin-off of Phat Farm, is designed for urban women?
- Who was the first athlete to be named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year twice?
- Final: What Steven Spielberg movie did Senator Tom Coburn bash NBC for airing, citing its "full-frontal nudity, violence, and profanity?"

Having just driven back and forth through South Carolina -- not for the first time -- I have two questions.
1. Don't remember seeing Waffle Houses, so is Mr. Waffle any good?
2. I didn't see any Chick-Fil-As, are there none?
I saw Bill's questions, and assumed he was nuts, so I watched the "Food" signs as I drove back from NC this afternoon. In 60 miles on I-85, I saw 3 Waffle Houses, which is not many. I did not see a single sign for Chick-Fil-A. I have never tried Mr. Waffle, but I can assure you that South Carolina has no plenty of Waffle Houses and Chicks-Fil-A - apparently, they're just not near the interstates.
I saw Bill's questions, and assumed he was nuts
No arguments there.
Guess I just missed the Chick-Fil-As, unless they were all north of Gaffney.
1. Gotta be Barbara.
4. Baby Phat: didn't we have this question a few weeks ago? Or maybe it was a Russell Simmons question.
5. My answers to all sports questions are Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods. Let's go with the former.
1. How did I miss Barbara?
2. Or, for that matter, Mr. Potatohead?
3. Cloning
4. While I had heard of Baby Phat, I was certain it was a line of children's clothing. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention to "Life in the Fab Lane."
5. Should have gone with the latter; it was Tiger.
6. When the hostess came up to see if I had my answer, I said, "It's probably Schindler's List, but I'm not sure." She replied, "It is!" So I handed in my answer and took the win.
