No, having a better life than me is not having a “heckuva life”, in and of itself. Try measuring against a higher standard. You know, someone with hopes and dreams.
Oh, and your previous user name (one of them, at least) was “Laura Rae”. I may be a new poster, but I’m a dangerous lurker. Unfortunately, the older threads only indicate “Guest”. Nothing about seniority or number of posts for “Guests”
I guess you have more to worry about than Inigo’s anal glands, huh?
St. Louis Cardinals, Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles.
[hijack]I love sports, but every time I play Trivial Pursuit and land on Sports and Leisure I get those stupid drink questions. [/hijack]
WTG Ruffy, you rock. Congrats. (You too Odie . . . stop drooling.)
Ummmm, can we have a post party without some damn animal spraying something somewhere ?? I mean if its not the cat its the snake - if its not the snake its handy. Sheesh.
Another month or two and I shall join you in the elite “Over 500” club. So party on and pass the liqour !
My darlin’, this is the precise reason you will never see me playing poker. I’m Scottish, remember? I NEVER place a bet unless I am at least 99% sure that I am going to win.
Wow, I’m not sure. Unless Reds originally meant “Redbirds”. It’s also possible that “Royals” stood for some kind of bird. Does it actually list the four teams?
As a hijack, I HATED the literature catagory–definitely one of my weakest. People used to always ask me that category when I went to the center to win the game.
Until one time I went for the Literature pie piece and was asked a total gimme question from one of Shakespeare’s plays: “What color stocking did Malvolio…”
“YELLOW!” Answered before they finished reading the question.
They ask me geography now.

And I SO hoped to get together with you in a game of strip poker…
(So much for flirting with class, huh?)
:::Ruffian yawns and stretches::: Well gang, it was small but personable and cozy. Thank all of you for coming to my little soirée. I owe all of you.
BTW…I have no idea who the 4th team is…Trivial Pursuit’s answer was just “4.” And, the sparrow killed Cock Robin (who knew?), and La Paz, Bolivia is the South American capital with the world’s highest altitude.
DRY, I suck at geography, and A&L is pretty much hit and miss, but Sports and Leisure is painful. I played the game last night and it took somewhere around 7 freakin’ hits on that damn pie space before I finally got the question right. Damn straight I did–I finally got to one of the horse racing questions. Anything outside of that, and I am lost!
You ever play the Baby Boomers Edition, Genus II or whatever other editions they have?
I used to love the All Sports Edition. Hardly anyone would play me. I used to just blitz through all the categories except for hockey (Which would take me AT LEAST the seven tries you mention above. I follow hockey now but at the time I was pretty clueless. I could get the other pie pieces before anyone else had more than two, but while I struggled with hockey questions I’d let the other players back into the game!
I finally hit upon a workable strategy: Figured out that if the question asked for a Boston Bruin, I’d guess “Bobby Orr”. A Chicago Black Hawk would get a guess of “Bobby Hull”. (To name two guys who by hearing the correct answers, I clued in to which team they played for.)
Or I’d guess “Esposito” and hope I didn’t have to answer which one.
Finally, if I had no clue I’d just guess “Wayne Gretzky”.
Ruffian–You have soiled the Sacred SD Board with the vile, evil word “karaoke” <rinces mouth & spits>. :eek:
I put the Curse of the Seven White Geese on you. And your brother. And your garden tools, especially the little toothed rake you use to clean out weeds between ypur rhubarb
plants. (The Curse of the Seven White Geese works extra well on those.)
