Ah...the power of cheese....uh...I mean, Quizzo

I hope that most people who read this (all 1 or 2 of you) know what quizzo is. I've been going to it almost religiously (yes, the Deer Park is my place of worship) for 2 and a half years now. I love it. Can't get enough. They have great burgers, which are half price....AND you win beer... AND if you win the whole night then you get a gift certificate to eat free the next week. OK, getting to the point. My team has changed over time. Players have come and go. But we have always been formidable. Eventually, we came to see a pattern. Each week, either my team would win, or one other team would win (which we came to call "Team: Nemesis"). We'd win a few weeks, and then they'd win a few weeks....we would tie a lot too. But that's neither here nor there...

Moving on, lately, we've gotten bored. The host of Quizzo doesn't put much effort into the trivia rounds. He just goes onto a web site and prints some out that were pre-made. Oh, I should mention that lately my team has grown smaller...and so did Team: Nemesis...so we joined into one super team that almost never loses. So that's why we're bored. There's no competition. I bet by now you're wondering why I'm writing all of this...well bare with me and it'll go somewhere. We told the host that to make Quizzo more fun, we would make some rounds of questions that he can ask people....and then we won't participate...and he can just give us some free beer in return.

So I put a lot of effort into making my own round. I didn't want to just do movie quotes or Simpsons trivia...I wanted something more cool... so here it is. I'll post the answers on Friday. Try to get the answers from your head and now by looking online because that's just too easy.
