Another Tuesday Night of Trivia

Weak Sauce for the week was Joey, Allie, Zoe, Jen and Bill.

We were ready to take on all of Newburyport since it was standing room only this week at the Tavern.

Joey came dressed in real clothing.  For the first 19 years of his life he wore football jerseys and basketball shorts everywhere.  For the past couple of years he's been expanding his wardrobe so I know this is actually not something new right now but we were so conditioned for so long to see him in football game jerseys that it still feels like a novelty.  Tonight he was in a collared shirt, Nantucket red cotton shorts, boat shoes!!  Looking good, Joey!  

Of course, the girls always look good.

Questions:

• What band put out an album titled Achtung Baby in 1991? 
• Who was the second man on the moon on the Apollo 11 mission?
• What are the names of 3 elements - -numbers 92, 93 and 94 - - named after celestial bodies?
• Who won an oscar for  The Three Faces of Eve and was married to Paul Newman until he died?
• What police show won an emmy every year from 1981 to 1984 for best drama?
• What dutch graphic design artist was best known for combining realism with optical illusion?
• Come Together was the first song on what Beatles album?
• Humbert Humbert was one of the two leading characters in what novel?
• Hollister is a brand from what clothing chain?
• With 80 million people, what country is the most populated in the European Union?

This is Joey's "I don't know" face.

I made a fool out of myself halfway through the night when Allie was taking our answer up and I realized I'd put the wrong wager on the slip.  My solution  - to jump up and plow through the crowd yelling "ZOE ZOE!!!" almost knocking over a waitress carrying  a tray of beers.  I noticed more than a few pairs of eyes on me as I walked back to my seat.  
And I think the girls have started answering to each other's names because I'm constantly getting them wrong.  Hello senility.
