Tonight we headed to CF Donovan's in Dorchester for trivia night with Brian, Kelly, Meaghan, Dan, and two of B&K's friends Jesse and Hillary. I hadn't played team trivia in a while, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Usually the games are pretty cutthroat. We were falsely lulled into its simplicity with a couple high finishes the first few times we played a couple years ago, but the past few occasions had been a different story. The concept has really picked up throughout Boston, and the general level of people knowing useful and useless items in this city is rather high.
Tonight was a team effort. Everybody contributed. Two of my most random correct answers were to the questions "What country did Hooters recently announce their plans to open a new location?" (Israel), and "What movie holds the record for featuring 15 past, current or future (at the time) Saturday Night Live actors, the most of any movie?" (Coneheads).
I have never been to Israel, nor seen Coneheads. I'm not even sure where the Coneheads answer came from, but it was literally a knee-jerk reaction for me after having heard the question. Unfortunately, our lack of confidence in the Coneheads answer caused us to wager too few points and finish second. Our thinking was that we were wrong, and the other teams at the top would also get the question wrong causing us to back into first place.
