Trivia

I can only watch so much sports through the week so on Wednesday nights I head over to the Admirals Post for a fun night of trivia. I usually partner up with my good friend Joanne and we do fairly well because her areas of knowledge are much different than mine so we know a little bit about a lot of different subjects. Aaron Ferth, my riding and skiing buddy is usually the host of the night and he does a great job of it. There are 5 rounds of questions, a picture quiz, a music round and 2 beer rounds. Aaron has been doing this for a few years but it is still fun and interesting because the topics change every week. This means all the teams will have good nights and bad nights. Aaron, the "trivia master" is always right so when he insists that Greenland is a friggin country and we all know it isn't, never has been, never friggin will be and besides who would want to live there, he is still right and anyone who doesn't friggin agree is S.O.L. The last question of the evening decides the winner many times. It's called final jeopardy and just like the show the team bets a certain number of points depending on their standing and how well they know the final category. Aaron then totals up the points and the winning team gets 2/3rds of the entrance money ($3 / person) and second place gets 1/3rd. If you weren't lucky enough to win the final maybe you got lucky in one of the 2 beer rounds which gets your team a jug of beer. All in all it's a great night out so if you are ever in Collingwood and have nothing to do on a Wednesday night head on over to the Admirals Post for a fun night. Greenland, a country, yea right.
P.S. So after my Greenland rant I get an email from Steve Riedel that says Greenland is an autonomous country which means it is sort of a country but not a sovereign country. Denmark has ruled over Greenland for the past 300 years but on June 21/09 they gave more powers of self rule to the island but it is still not a completely sovereign country and probably will not be for a while. In Wikipedia's list of world countries it is not listed. I hope I have now made clear that Greenland is not a friggin country, that it is sort of a friggin country but it may some day become a friggin country so we were right in the trivia game and Aaron was wrong and nice try Steve, you got me going.
And another thing, why the hell is it called Greenland if it's white 90 % of the year and it was "discovered" by a guy named Eric the Red. It's no wonder the people there are drunk all the time. I need a beer.
