Trivia is an industry, and every industry has a trade show of their own! In this case, it's TCONA, the Trivia Championships Of North America. For one weekend each year, the casual and the powerhouses combine to have a little fun, swap a few secrets, learn all sorts of useful facts and maybe, just maybe, take home a medal. Social butterfly Kristy Tye (aka agingdragqueen on our forums) forsook the pool and gave trivia her full attention. How did that go? FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK US...
The Brass Standard
It's easy to get carried away with the joy of owning brass.
After using this Kingston Brass Faucet, I've made a decision. I want everything in my castle to be made of brass! I'm going to make a wish that everything I touch will turn into brass!
"But King! King! I do not want to criticize you, Your Majesty, but have you not heard the tale of King Midas? He wanted everything he touched to turn to gold, so he made a wish, his wish was granted, and everything he touched turned to gold. First, he enjoyed his new ability, with him touching things like furniture and jewelry and them turning into shiny golden furniture and jewelry, but then he touched food, and when his food turned to gold, he couldn't eat it, and when he tried kissing his wife? She turned to gold too! King Midas was left lonely and miserable with a house full of nothing but gold!"
What is football?
What is football? Who introduced football to America? Where did we put our pants?
Happy Music Monday! Scott’s rested after his vacation and he’s ready to take the long, hard trip back to the 1980s, where he can collect some ballads. Join him, won’t you?
The 1980s were a great time for the bombastic power ballad. Be it the first dance at the prom or a gloomy dream-sequence beside a Christmas tree, the ballad was there! And Heart was super-good at using the ballad to create the perfect atmosphere for all situations. Singing alone in the car? Works! Dreaming about a lost love? Works! Trying to win over someone at karaoke? Works!
The ‘80s ballads are only gettin’ better. See you after the jump!
Believe it or not, football has some rules.
Great For Parties
The perfect gift for all those people for whom you don't have a gift for yet!
You almost ready? Mick's party started an hour ago.
"What time are they eating?"
Not immediately, but c'mon, we don't want to be late. We've gotta get the food while it's fresh!
"Okay, okay. Do we have everything? You get the wine?"
Ha! No. I did better than wine this year.
"What'd you get?"
I got them this HP Laptop.
"You did what?"
Every year, Mick and Melinda have their big dinner party. Every year, we bring the same old boring wine. Okay, that one year we brought spinach dip, but everyone brings dip, so I figured, hey, this year, we'll get them something that's actually useful: a laptop!
"But--"
Like In "Oliver"?
The only urchin that won't make you feel guilty.
It used to be you'd pass by a little group of urchins singing a street corner and you'd feel a sad collapse in your heart. THOSE POOR URCHINS you'd say WON'T SOMEONE DO SOMETHING
But now, thankfully, there's a new type of urchin! No longer will you associate your favorite songs with Dickensian British-style orphans standing in the snow! No longer will you feel bad for demanding children learn to sing the WUB WUB WUB of your dubstep hits! Now you can hear your music the way it was designed to be heard... through a speaker! Not through the lips of some poor child from 1886!
Also, unlike an urchin of yore, these speakers can take direct spray from water for five minutes.
Are you playing the Crapword Puzzle? It's fun, engaging and a total waste of time!
Do you have what it takes to become the next champion cross-linguist, if by "what it takes" we mean "too much free time on your hands"? Then step up and face the latest iteration in this thing that apparently we do now: The Crapword Puzzle 2.
