Trivia Tuesday

The quiz is back!  Cancelled last week for St Paddy's Day, trivia night at the pub is on again and this time we have Denise as our secret weapon.
But first, notice anything different below?  That's right - new glasses.  Bigger frames are in again  - funny how these things go in cycles.  Now I can use them to look smart like Bill and Christin below in their "Optical Pondering" pose.

This is Bill's "I'm just happy to be here" pose.
Three cute chicks...
We call this one "Album Cover"…
Doo-wopping in a girl trio…(looks like I'm doo-ing while Christin is whopping)...
The surprise selfie…somehow I'm the only one surprised….
Gossipy ladies (Denise is clearly above it but happy to hear the news)...
Re-enactment of spilling my water.  Yes, I spilled my water AGAIN!
Ok, guys, it's time to get serious and start quizzing!!  Please note that many of the questions are very long and convolutedly phrased so I can rarely jot them down exactly as asked but I'm doing my best to get the gist of them here.


Trivia Questions:
  • What TV series anniversary special that aired on Feb 15, 2015 was the most watched prime time show in 10 years? 
  • What 2 actors reprieved their roles from a 2001 film at Paris Fashion Week?
  • What Wayne's World actress won an award for best hawaiian music album?
  • A film with the subtitle Montage of Heck was about this late artist whose band was recently admitted into the Music Hall of Fame.  
  • Who was selected as MVP of the season and the playoffs in both 2011 and 2013? 
  • Peter Sarsgaard and Thandie Newton were in what TV series based on the 2008 Australian book of the same name?
  • Barbara Striesand was married in 1963- 1971 to this actor from the film Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice.
  • Chris Jones served as the master of this vessel in 1620.
  • In 1995 this company joined the National Fish and Wildlife in a campaign to save the tiger.

Christin is the eternal optimist.  She came in expecting us to win.  And at the end of the third round we were actually tied for second place (out of about a dozen teams).

And then….we blew it in the bonus round and came in 5th.  This is a picture from earlier in the day at Bill's off but I think his expression sums it up.

Bill didn't think I would leave this one in….so I am.  
To my trivia rivals, we'll be back next week and better than ever!!
