Trivia 2019 Welcome!

Greetings Studlings and Loonatics,

Well, it's that time of year again. Steve Wayne recently reminded me that Trivia was coming (April 12-14), and my fingers have just thawed enough to allow me to bang out a semi-comprehensible and aptly named "warm-up" letter to get the Trivia juices flowing. Yes, I just used "bang" and "juices" in the same sentence - you're all welcome. So now that I have set the tone for 2019, I thought I'd share a little song I wrote to get ya'll (that's my living in the South too long speaking) even more excited: 

(set to the tune of the Hanukkah Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvcvvNk2Fic)

Trivia is the Festival of Bytes,

Instead of one hour of questions, we have three crazy nights.

 

When you feel like the only kid in town that’s on a trivia team, 

Here's a list of people who are Norwegian Studs, just like you and me:

 

Steve Wayne and T-witt, search on the Google, 

So do Meaple, Dan Wayne and Ben Wayne, when he’s not off playing with his strudel.

 

Guess who eats together in Mandy and Eric’s kitchen, 

Trevor and the Iversons are there, enjoying five-meat chili with chicken.

 

Juan Gonzalez is part-time Norwegian; Budelier’s part too, 

Put them together, what a fine hacker crew!

 

We’ve got a Dodge Omni, not a trailer pulled by a truck, 

And we can do a drive-by yelling “hey Thicko you suck!”

 

So come back from Bolivia, it’s time for Trivia, 

The owner of the Ford Festiv-ia celebrates Trivia.

 

Oz and Eck, not Norwegian!

But guess who is... Raygor and his six centimeter pubic region (he converted).

 

We got Tush Johnson, her brother Dave, and Abby, 

Leah is actually Norwegian - not too shabby!

 

Some people think that Raphael is,

Well, hes not, but guess who is: Neil and his chocolate salty balls-is.

 

So many Norwigans are in show biz,

Scuba Steve isn't, but I heard his brother Boitano is.

 

Tell your friend Olivia, it’s time you celebrate Trivia, 

I hope I don’t get Chlamydia, at this lovely, lovely Trivia.

 

So drink your Coke with Stevia, and edit that Wikipedia, 

If you really, really wann-ia , Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Trivia!
The Powers family has once again graciously invited us back this year (unanimously too!), so let's be on our best behavior. A duty roster spreadsheet will be circulated shortly; please sign up, but only  meals/cleanup that you are certain you can be there for. Nothing throw a wrench in the system like Dan signing up for 4 am trash duty and being in a coma.

Speaking of Dan-Dan-Mono-Dan, he has really shown up this year with a sweet Trivia logo (see attached) - if you would like a shirt made please reply with the size(s) ASAP. Looks like we will be doing the blend T-shirts again, probably navy/heather blue. Cost is generally in the $15 range.

See you all in a few weeks, and let's get Trivia-ing.. Triving..Tri-vi-a-ing. That.

Alec
