Trivia Time: Challenge Edition

Posted: August 22, 2011 by Keith Stone in Challenge Week, The Challenge, trivia

T.J. Lavin doesn’t like quitters. In fact, Challenge competitors that give it their all get him quite sexually aroused. There’s one in particular that really does it for T.J. This person has won four different Challenges. No one else has more than three. That brings us to our Question of the Week. Get it right and you’re safe from the Jungle this week. The answer, as always, is after the jump.

Who is the only competitor to win four Challenges? (and a hint: it is not Paula Walnuts)

Trivia Time: NBA Lockout Edition

Posted: August 17, 2011 by Keith Stone in basketball, NBA, NBA lockout, trivia

The NBA lockout sucks. Right now, we’d be watching the rookies do their thing at Summer League, but instead, it’s all labor jargon that nobody understands and grainy footage of Kevin Durant and LeBron James putting up 84 points at games against scrubs in Rucker Park and Singapore. That brings us to our Question of the Week. Get it right and I’ll sign you to the mid-level exception. The answer, as always, is after the jump.

Who is the president of the NBA Players Union? (and a hint: it is not Metta World Peace)

Trivia Time: Jersey Shore Edition

Posted: August 10, 2011 by Keith Stone in Jersey Shore, trivia

Jersey Shore is back and the crew is living it up in Florence, Italy this time around. Not much has changed. Ronnie still cries a lot, the Situation is still a lovable douchebag, and Vinny still has the biggest cock in the world. That bring us to our Question of the Week. Get it right and you get to smoosh Snooki. The answer, as always, is after the jump.

Which two Jersey Shore cast members are actually from New Jersey? (and a hint: it is not the duck phone)

Trivia Time: Simpsons Edition

Posted: August 2, 2011 by Keith Stone in Simpsons, trivia

I just finished reading an oral history of The Simpsons. Learned a lot of good trivia. The early days are obviously the best. Back then, the celebrities who made cameos used aliases. When Homer met “Michael Jackson” in the mental hospital, it wasn’t John Jay Smith who did the voice. It was Michael Jackson. One of my favorite episodes was when Lisa fell in love with her substitute teacher, who was being played by Dustin Hoffman. That brings us to our Question of the Week. Get it right and I’ll eat your shorts. The answer, as always, is after the jump.

What alias did Dustin Hoffman use on The Simpsons? (and a hint: it is not Raymond Babbit)

Trivia Time: NFL Returns Edition

Posted: July 28, 2011 by Keith Stone in football, NFL, trivia

After all this lockout nonsense, I can barely remember anything about the 2010 season. I think the Packers won the Super Bowl or something. It’s time for a refresher. That brings us to our Question of the Week. If you get it right, the title belt is all yours. The answer, as always, is after the jump.

Who led the NFL in rushing yards in 2010? (and a hint: it is not Steve Weatherford)

Trivia Time: Women’s World Cup Edition

Posted: July 18, 2011 by Keith Stone in soccer, trivia

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s hype. Hey, we haven’t thought about swimming for four years but let’s all go crazy for Michael Phelps. Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. The Women’s World Cup wasn’t that bad, but it was close. At least, Hope Solo was hot. That brings us to our Question of the Week. Get it right and Abby Wambach won’t head you in the balls. This should be an easy one since everybody is such a Women’s World Cup expert now. The answer, as always, is after the jump.

Who won the 2007 Women’s World Cup? (and a hint: it was not North Korea)

Trivia Time: Super Mario Edition

Posted: July 11, 2011 by Keith Stone in Super Mario, trivia, video games

Mario is awesome. Who else can shoot fireballs out of their nose? Mario’s come a long way since his debut in Donkey Kong in 1981 when he could only jump, climb ladders, and smash barrels with a hammer. In fact, when the game was first developed he didn’t have a name and was known by another moniker. That brings us to our Question of the Week. Get it right and you get a night with Princess Peach. The answer, as always, is after the jump.

What was Mario originally called? (and a hint: it is not fat Italian plumber)

Trivia Time: America Edition

Posted: July 6, 2011 by Keith Stone in trivia, U!S!A!

America turned 235 years old this week. The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4th, 1776 and told King George III to go shove it. More specifically, it outlined the rights that the Continental Congress believed were universal for all men (white men) including life, liberty, and te pursuit of happiness. That brings us to our Question of the Week. It’s a doozy. Get it right and I won’t send you back to England. The answer as always is after the jump.

Whose signature appears last on the Declaration of Independence? (and a hint: it is not Benedict Arnold’s)

Trivia Time: Sexy Jobs Edition

Posted: June 29, 2011 by Keith Stone in job search, trivia

I was reading an article on forbes.com when I saw a list of the sexiest jobs in the country. What would be #1? Professional cheerleader? Car wash attendant? Blogger? Turns out it was actually the most sexist jobs by salary discrepancy. Not as fun but it makes for good trivia. That brings us to our Question of the Week. Get it right and I won’t sue you for sexual harassment. The answer, as always, is after the jump.

According to Forbes, what is the most sexist occupation in the United States? (and a hint: it is not flight attendant)
