The Listeners' Lounge - Trivia Edition

Some of the Post Tarts are going mano-a-mano in a trivia contest at Kieran's Pub tonight. I predict: The Equestrians of the Apocalypse will crush the others teams.
What are some guaranteed answers to trivia questions?
Here, I'll get things rolling:
The 1969 Mets!
King Ludwig the Second!
Three Coins in the Fountain!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Listeners' Lounge™ is a free-form forum where the main rule is Have Fun! Feel free to express your inner maniac in a playful, supportive, and creatively charged atmosphere with several witty, urbane 89.3 The Current listeners. The Lounge is a virtual place to "put up your feet or any other appendage" mentally, have an out-of-cubicle experience, and exercise the creative lobe of the brain for a change.

Just remember, this is a family thread.

Nicely played, juni.

Now guys, guys! We should take consolation that Auntie is still be able to participate at Gather just not as much as we'd like due to her work. She's our smart and resourceful Auntie, and I know she'll be around. I KNOW IT!

You guys will dominate the trivia tonight. DOMINATE!

Looks I'm going to end every comment I submit here today in caps. CAPS!

/seriously, good luck tonight. Full report on Monday?

I am well on my way to officially accomplishing nothing at work today.

Hell, I do that like 3 times a week...
~ Zeldapie Dec 8, 2006, 3:30pm EST
Oooog. Just back from a loooong lunch - one of my staff has been here for 30 years, so we celebrated at Masa. Yummy, yum yum! Now I'm stuffed and sleepy.

I wanna snooze!
Onan The Barbarian Dec 8, 2006, 3:40pm EST
I'm so far out of the loop!

See you guys sometime-ish!

That would be tomorrow night...right??
~ Zeldapie Dec 8, 2006, 4:01pm EST
URGH. I'm so pissed off right now, I could scream.

We have nearly THIRTY DOGS at the humane society right now, and apparently only ONE dog walker volunteer showed up this morning. All volunteers are SUPPOSED to have a set, scheduled time slot (even just for a couple of hours a month), and some people decided that they'd just skip their shift. Maybe they think the dogs don't PISS the morning of December 8. I don't know. Thankfully, two walkers just happened to show up 'cos they had time on their hands, and it took the three of them THREE HOURS to get all of dogs walked.

I've had new volunteers ask me if we walk in the winter. If we walk in the rain. If we walk when it's 30 below.

I say "Dogs have to go to the bathroom in all kinds of weather. OF COURSE we walk them, every day of the week, no matter WHAT the weather."

DUH!!!!
