Played trivia last night. I was one of the two big stars on my high school academic bowl team, and did a very good job holding my own against Georgia Tech's #2 in the nation team at the practice I went to my freshmen year of college. I never went back because it was the same night as pledge meetings, and at the time I was worried I would get blackballed if I missed meetings. Of course now I undertand I would have been fine. The point is, I was damn good. Trivia last night, however, was lame. We got free beer for being the lowest scoring team to actually answer all the questions. It was all this pop culture and entertainment bullshit. I think there are plenty of Jeopardy and bar trivia fans out there that hunger a for a real academic adult trivia league. Do it high school style, four people on a team, buzzers and all. I'd pay money to do it, and with the right marketing, I bet others would, too. Maybe not a lot fo money, but then you can get some sponsorships and such. Maybe it could even be televised eventually. It's funny, when you're in high school people look down on you for knowing a lot and being good at trivia, but as an adult, playing at bars, even drunks respect a man who knows a lot of wierd stuff.
