Most of my childhood was in black and white. Color tv came into my house when i was about 8 or 9. We had a rotary telephone until i was 18. Elgin 6. No 8 tracks for me. My best friend had the Camaro. 396, 4 speed, red / black, SS, houndstooth interior. So sorry he sold it to his cousin who totaled it in two weeks... I had an MGB. Later traded it for a second generation Z28. Sold it to my cousin, when I got married, she wrecked it two weeks later.... 1
rummy Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 Ok here's some more trivia. I remember watching Alan Shepards' first flight into space on a small B&W tv set up on the stage in grade school. All grades 1 - 6 watching. I think I was in 5th grade and 11 years old. The whole space race was incredible to me. When JFK was assassinated I was in a 10th grade POD (problems of democracy) class when it was announced over the school loud speaker system. I also saw Jack Ruby assassinate Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV when we returned from church that Sunday. I could go on.... 1

If you graduated in 1968 wouldn't you have been in 8th grade when JFK was shot?

enjoralas Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Posted March 6, 2018 Final trivia Tuesday of the season. Getting of to a late start. I think they are hoping more teams show up because there's like nobody here. Ran late myself but it didn't matter. Pops running late so might be on my own for round 1. 2

If the final trivia question happens to be - “how fucked up is the quad”? I think the answer would be “very”. 1 3
enjoralas Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Posted March 7, 2018 After round 1 Team PA Ski and Ride is in the lead with 8 points, 2 other teams with 7. Round 2 was state capitals. Pretty sure we got 9 of the 10. 2
enjoralas Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Posted March 7, 2018 Round 3 in the books, I know we got all 10 points in that round, we let one team catch up in the previous round so we will at least be tied for first after this. 1

Shadows Posted March 7, 2018 Report Posted March 7, 2018 78 is infinitely better than turnpike though

enjoralas Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Posted March 7, 2018 2 minutes ago, toast21602 said: What was the tune? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 different ones. An entire round of Name That Tune. “Temporary Home” by Carrie Underwood, “Home Sweet Home” by Motley Crue, one other one I forget where I got the song right but didn’t know the artist, and the other 3 still couldn’t even tell you. Was tied for the lead going in and lost by 2 points. At .5 point each for artist/title those 3.5 points were the difference

enjoralas Posted February 26, 2019 Author Report Posted February 26, 2019 A return to Trivia Tuesday tonight! A terrible round one . . . Should have brought the skis 3
tarponhead Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 We also had black and white TV growing up, party line and rotary phone. We don't even have a TV now, haven't for years. 1 2
enjoralas Posted February 27, 2019 Author Report Posted February 27, 2019 Sigh. I had hoped they had reconsidered Name That Tune. Also the last round was a speed round. Single question for which the answer is a number. Closest without going over got 3 points, then 2, then 1. Speed breaks ties. This is stupid.
