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!
Sounds fun!
When do we start?
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?
what the fuck is 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.
I'll play. And no googling, either. Promise. I just hope there aren't too many Superbowl questions. I suck at them.

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.

That'll either be "The number one hits by Devo", or "Keanu Reeves Oscar nominations".

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.
theater
I want in.
I'm going to post the rules and the first round of questions on Monday so anybody who wants to needs to sign up before then.
Count me in. :sci:
YAY I'm excited.Quote:

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"? )
I will give you one! Sexually transmitted diseases of the ungulate order.Quote:

Ok guys, apologies but I'm going to have to postpone commencement of the quiz until at least tomorrow as today I am sick as a dog. :(
Hope you feel better soon, AG. :( Take care of yourself!
Ok we're back on track.
