11/21 - Food & Drink Trivia (PRE-THANKSGIVING!)



Meow. Let's do this?

Time for another rollicking Wednesday Night Trivia at the Sports Page. Hopefully everyone is preparing for tomorrow's festivities with a hilarious night of question-asking and heavy drinking tonight.

Tonight's plan is one of our "themed trivias", with the theme this week being "FOOD & DRINK". All questions will be at least loosely related to food and drink.

SOUND ROUND: Bands/Song Titles with Food or Drink in the name

IMAGE ROUND: Popular Movies featuring memorable food scenes.

Nothing too obscure with either of those categories. Also, as an added bonus, we may even consume some food LIVE ON STAGE*!!

(*We don't have a stage. But then again, all the world's a stage when you're having fun. I may be drunk right now.)

PS - Unfortunately, Michael will not be hosting tonight with Joe & Noah. He will return next week, hopefully sporting his all-silk track suit.

Winners from last week: "Call of Booty". Well played.

Hints for tonight:

Tonight folks, 7pm. Joe and Noah are your hosts, Mike joins to hang out, play music, and schmooze.

What should you expect tonight, you say? Modern day prophets, Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, probably said it best, "It's always a good time."
