So, I was playing the new Trivial Pursuit (Pop Culture DVD edition) with a guys vs. girls theme last night (we made it college-appropriate by adding drinking rules) and my old roommate informs the girls’ team that I’m the God of All Trivia and that they didn’t have a hope.
Now, relative to most mortals (especially the 21 and under set), I’m pretty damn good at knowing useless things. Compared to most Dopers, I’m possibly slightly above average.
Still, I kicked ass. I was the drunkest person there, and out of the fourteen total wedges that were won (2 pieces for each team, and the girls only got two), I answered 13 of the questions (the girls made me switch teams about halfway through, but after two turns my penis refused to let my brain compete for the wrong team).
They were looking at me like I had two heads. The best part was:
Girl 3: “You guys will never get this one.”
Guy 1 (my old roommate): “Neil (me), put down the beer, this one is hard, she says.”
Girl 1: “What internet catchphrase came from the video game Zero Wing, which…”
Me: “ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!”
Everyone except Girl 1 “Eh?”
Girl 1, mouth agape: “Jesus.”
I’m kinda dating/hooking up with one of the girls who was there. I think she may have decided I’m a freak as a result of my trivia skills and decided to end contact.
<sigh> At least I’ll always have misstee
