Mellophant Mega Trivia Quiz Sign Up Thread.
I'd love to start up a trivia quiz thread. To make things interesting, the winner after a certain time would get a prize of some sort (likely chocolate and candy from Ireland or something like that). Of course, everybody involved would have to agree not to go a-googling for answers.
I'd be interested!
I'd give it a shot.
I'd play.

i like trivia.
I would love to play!
Hell hath no fury, like a woman's scorn for video games.
Sounds fun!
When do we start?
I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.
We'll start soon, just see who all wants to get involved. Any rules we should lay down from the outset other than 1. No Googling for answers (nor yahooing or magellaning nor lycosing).
Can we HotBot?

I have been wanting to get a Mellophant trivia bowl going for awhile. I would love to play.
I'm all over this.

I'm in. Very cool.
Hell yes.
Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty,Give me a cold beer when I'm dry, Give me root beer when I'm sickly, Give me a headstone when I die.
I'll play. And no googling, either. Promise. I just hope there aren't too many Superbowl questions. I suck at them.

And yes, I would be interested.
I'm so in.
How does this work when we are on the internet? We'd all cheat like fuck!
Well...I know I will!
ps. After reading the OP more carefully, I've realised this is a trust-based venture. Okay, I'm in!

Okay I'll set out the rules and structure more clearly later but I want everyone who is participating to pick a specialist topic as at least one round will be tailored to your particular interests.
I'm in.
Movies.
Ooooh, a specialist subject!
That'll either be "The number one hits by Devo", or "Keanu Reeves Oscar nominations".

Popular music of the 1980s.
Language/linguistics
How Specific?
I would go with Middle-Earth trivia if that specific is allowed.
Otherwise Mythology.
Ancient/Medieval History.
Geography!

Movies, music, WW II history, and a dash of literature.
I suppose it would be biased in my favor if I asked for The Clash and Star Wars to be categories.

OH, yes, a C.S. Lewis, Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings category might be awesome.
Cool, it'll only be a couple of rounds where you'll have the advantage of your chosen subject.
Good lord. I am an expert in NOTHING.Is that a category?
I'm one of those sort of "jack of all trades and master of none" persons.

Hm, Laughing Lagomorph took the 80's, so I guess I'll go with 90's pop music as my category.
Let's do this.
I can do sports (four major American sports leagues), English lit, linguistics and various others.

I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

YAY I'm excited.
everything in nature is sort of gross when you look at it too closely. what is an apple? basically the uterus of a tree - terrifel
I'd like to request the Bible as my specialist topic. Preferably OT.
I'd be insterested. My "specialty" is medieval and Renaissance lit.
Alright, I'm in.
Special topic: Track-and-field athletics (I hope that's not too specific).
I can't think of a specialist subject!
( Can I pick something like "Manchester music of the last 30 years"? )

Hope you feel better soon, AG.
