I'm fairly certain we'll never come in first, but I'd be happy with third

I'm not sure if it was because some people were already on Spring Break, or if the weather was just too nice to stay indoors, but tonight at trivia, there were only 9 other teams besides us. That meant we had a for real chance at placing. I'm fairly certain we'll never come in first, but I'd be happy with third. Of course, the week that there is less competition also happens to be the week we have the fewest people playing on our team. Just three. We tried really hard, but we only came in fourth. We've been playing trivia on a weekly basis for almost three months now and we've never placed. You'd think that'd be enough to deter us from continuing to go, but their drink specials on Wednesday nights are just too good to pass up :P

During the time you get to turn in your answer, the host plays a variety of music and this was my favorite from this week:


Some questions from tonight's game:

  • What is the name of the prison that sits on an island off the coast of San Francisco? 
  • Finish this lyric, "Every rose has its thorn, just like every ______ has its sad song."
  • In The Godfather what did Don Corleone use to threaten the movie executive into giving his godson a movie role?
  • What movie's tagline is, "The mob is tough. But it's nothing like show business."
  • Which Olympian was the youngest person to win "Dancing With the Stars"?
  • What river runs through Big Bend National Park in Texas?
  • What football team was dubbed "The Greatest Show on Turf"?
  • Who was the first African American Supreme Court justice?
  • Name 4 of the 6 movies produced or co-produced by Steven Spielberg in 2011.
  • Which member of the Jackson family sang the 80s song "Heart Don't Lie"?
  • What was the military base that Beetle Bailey was stationed on?
  • What country lies in between Panama and Nicaragua?
  • In auto racing, what color flag signifies the last lap?
Of course the final question, where you can bet up to 15 points, was ridiculously easy (at least for me/us) this week, which made it even more frustrating that we only came in 4th :/ 
  • Put the following cities in order from North to South: Little Rock, AK, Savannah, GA, San Jose, CA, and Tulsa, OK.
Oh well, there's always next week! :P

And of course, if any of you dear 3.2 average readers want to try to answer these questions, WITHOUT GOOGLING (!), leave it as a comment and I'll let you know if you're right or not :P
