A Quick Note On Quiz Night

I went to The Wild Geese the other night for a quiz night with some friends. Quiz Night is when you team up with a couple of other people and get an answer sheet on which you write the answers to 20 questions asked by two emcees. (Why two? Because it's all done in English and in German -- bilingual fun!) The questions range from math word problems to "Name This American President". It's not a race against time kind of quiz night, but more of a take-it-easy, have a beer and then answer a question kind of night. And I loves it. Yes, I does. I had an absolute blast racking my brain with questions like "Was Jimmy Carter bald?" and "What IS the capital of Bolivia?" (half of you will go wiki the answer to this right now; the other half will just look down in the comments section to see if someone else has already found the answer). The winner of this quiz night gets a 30 Euro gift certificate to the pub. This is incentive enough for me. But then again, I get really competitive over little things, so they probably could have told me that the prize was a half-eaten sour apple lollipop and I still would be there every Tuesday night.

And I don't even like sour apple.
