It’s a game of my own devising and I expect the thread to sink beneath the horizon, but just in case, here’s how it works: I’ll post a piece of trivia, somebody will “play” off my trivia, then the next person tags onto that, etc., and let’s see how we can keep it going.
Simple rules:
1- You should make sure it’s true before using it to avoid “Cite?”
2- It should have something that can be played off both sides
3- You can decide what’s trivia or factoid or whatever- it basically just means it should be blip sized information.
Here’s how to play- imagine this is posted by several posters:
Hopefully you get the idea- you can play off any part of the preceding piece of trivia. You can make a statement that is not necessarily true so long as you qualify it (i.e. I didn’t say Bhatti is Jackson’s son, just that he’s rumored to be, which is true) or you can go for a “not exactly but really close” connection (Thriller setting records and Caruso’s recording earnings are not exact matches but both have to do with distinctions in recording success, if that makes sense).
So, ready to play? I doubt it, but I’ve started threads that strangled on the cord before. I’ll be back with a piece of trivia: play off any part of it so long as you keep the thread going.
Rutherford B. Hayes is the only US president to have an entire province named after him in a country outside the US – the Presidente Hayes Province in Paraguay.
