Trivia Night

[ArnieM]

No squirt, I don't remember Art's.  But it was at least 35 years ago and my brain isn't currently - what were we talking about?

Hal, the Presidential suite is kinda steep.  $33/night.  But it does come with a COLOR TV and four channels.  They're still working on the A/C.  ;D ;D

[hal4uk]

That's why I want the Presidential Suite - that's the room with the color TV...
But, I didn't realize Art was getting so greedy.  Might have to postpone for now...

[squirtthecat]

Long story short - we won!  

Split between 4 couples...   Arnie/Hal - I can pop for a night at Art's if either of you are in town and need a place to crash. (it's $39 a night w/ HBO thank you very much... :D)


Arnie, you still hungry after your shrimp appetizer?

I've got most of this:



And 95% of this left over: (sorry, a little blury)



There is a bit of chopped brisket as well, enough for maybe 4 small sammies.


Our winning rounds were WWII movies (I've seen them all), and some obscure "fill in the blank lyrics"..  

I'll have to give credit to 10.5 for his post the other day, for me knowing this one, and clinching the win:

Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all.
Playing Solitaire till dawn,
With a deck of fifty-one.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.

I do expect full and complete compensation for that!! Would have loved to hear how you explained just how you knew that answer.

I got more then a few looks for knowing a line from an obscure Bob Marley song...   ::)

[Tenpoint5]

I can see you sitting at the table with a I just shot the neighbors cat look on your face and giggling like a school girl cause you knew the answer.

[hal4uk]

Ok, I'll fess up.

Mom and Dad had that 8-track..  Along with Captain and Tennille, Jim Croce, etc.     I listened to them all.

If I... Had a box... Made for wishes...

[hal4uk]

Well, nice of you to come clean.
I won't poke no more fun at Art's. 
I meant to say, "it's very cosmopolitan".

BTW - even if 10.5 hadn't covered your butt, you coulda used one of your "Call A Friend" chips, and Bubba woulda saved ya.

What do you mean Squirt I STILL have a working 8 track player and a whole bunch of that music. I even have a copy of Foreigner Head Games on 8 track

[squirtthecat]

I'm still not saying how I knew that Bob Marley lyric..    ;D

I think the last of the 8-tracks were shot to sh*t during the fire at my mom and dad's place 2 years ago...

But I do remember them fondly.  Especially the cla-CLUNK mid-song during 'Flowers on the wall'  :D

[KevinG]

I still have a working 8 track also, have some Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, & a couple others I can't think of right now. Never could understand the popularity of these stupid things with the clunk.

 :D  :D  :D

Oh boy do I remember that.... If you didn't have an under dash "Craig Power Play 8-Track" and some "Coaxial" spreakers in your "ride"... Well... you just weren't in the "in" crowd!  :D  ;D

Geezzz... We thought they sounded awesome!  ::)
