Hey gang! Here's an attempt for us to connect with you. We compiled a best of the year list for 2012. Your trivia gang came up with our favorites for 20 different categories. Feel free to comment on here or at trivia with your thoughts!
1) Movie
Joe: Dark Knight Rises. Amazing ending to a brilliant story.
Mike: Moonrise Kingdom. Beautifully done, quirky, charming. Loved every second of it, outside of the fish hooks scene. That hurt my tum-tum.
Noah: 21 Jumpstreet.
2) TV Show
Joe: Breaking Bad takes the crown this year, but The Newsroom get my nod for best newcomer.
Mike: Catfish on MTV. Loved the movie, translated into a really fun, addicting show.
Noah: Tie: Luther/Louie.
3) Actor
Mike: Aziz Ansari makes me laugh every time he's on screen. That's charisma, folks.
Noah: Nick Offerman.
4) Actress
Joe: Amy Adams in "The Master"
Mike: Zooey Deschanel.
Noah: Emily Blunt.
5) Song
Joe: Demi Lovato "Give Your Heart A Break" (click to play) So damn catchy.
Mike: Carly Rae Jepsen "Call Me Maybe" (click to play) This song ruled my year. Honorable mention to Grimes "Oblivion". It was a good year for female Canucks music.
Joe: One Direction. Heard my first song here at trivia, that's gotta count for something, right?
Mike: Mumford and Sons. Huge year for these boys. I was into it.
Noah: Beach House.
7) YouTube Video
Joe: "Gangnam Style" blew up for a reason. Weirdest 5 minutes of my life.
Mike: Dancing with an iPod in Public. Technically, the video I'm referencing was from Nov. 2011, but he's made a couple follow ups and I didn't see this video until this holiday season. It's a feel good video unlike that S. of a B. called Psy. Don't judge me.
Noah: Scare Pranks. Tie with DJ Steve Porter's videos.
8) Website
Joe: Reddit. If Facebook and Craigslist fucked and had a kid, this would be it. Sort of.
Mike: Facebook. Outside of Ericsrepair.com, the official car care provider of Wednesday trivia, I'm probably on Facebook the most. It's a daily visit. FRIEND ME!
Noah: Profootballtalk. Tie with dailymail.uk
9) Internet Meme
Joe: Overly Manly Man. Bullocks!
Mike: McKayla is not impressed.
Noah: Jay Cutler smoking. Tie with Grumpy cat.
10) Video Game
Mike: WWE '13 for XBox 360. It's the only one I played for more than an hour outside of Noah's choice.
Noah: WWF No Mercy for Nintendo 64. Bringing it back.
11) Phone App
Joe: Twitter. Instant news. Revolutionizing information as we know it.
Mike: Temple Run. So much potential productivity lost.
Noah: Instagram.
12) Athlete
Joe: LeBron James. MVP, Champ, Finals MVP, Gold Medal. Love him or hate him, Sports Illustrated nailed this one.
Mike: Anthony Tolliver. Sentimental favorite. I miss him more than anyone should. Noah and I got to meet the Tollipop this year and it was a definitely a personal highlight for 2012.
Noah: Adrian Peterson.
13) Sports Moment
Joe: Vikings beat Packers to get into playoffs. Runner-up: Parise/Suter sign with Wild on July 4th.
Mike: Vikings make the playoffs! Rollercoaster of a game, a lot of fun, a ton of anxiety, and now we technically have a chance for the Super Bowl.
Noah: Eli Manning to Mario Manningham Super Bowl connection.
14) Hottest chick
Joe: Kate Upton. Unbelievable
Mike: Olivia Munn.
Noah: Jennifer Lawrence.
15) Hottest dude
Joe: Ryan Gosling. The Baby Goose until further notice.
Mike: Ryan Gosling. Biggest no brainer ever.
Noah: Anderson Cooper.
16) Restaurant
Mike: Blackbird Cafe. 38th and Nicollet. Check it out.
Noah: Lucky's 13. Great beer specials and nachos are great.
17) Drink
Joe: Crispin Cider. Crispin + Ice = nothing better. Except for sex. And even then...
Mike: McDonald's Iced Coffee with Vanilla. I wake up too early and I needed a jolt one day. Bought one of these cups of sugar and caffeine and have been addicted since.
Noah: Angry Orchard.
18) Person of the Year
Joe: Psy. Dominated all of 2012. Against our better judgement.
Mike: Victoria Soto. Truly heroic teacher who sacrificed herself for the safety of the children of Newtown.
Noah: Teachers, students, authorities, families, etc. who lived through the Newtown shootings.
19) Person/Place/Thing/Idea that seemingly dominated our trivia questions
Joe: Taylor Swift. Let's make a pact - No Swift in '13, deal?
Mike: I used to write weekly Jersey Shore questions, but I feel like we probably give too much attention to pro wrestling. That being said, Wrestling themed trivia sometime in 2013! Believe it!
Noah: Psy. No more after this mention.
20) Trivia Moment
Joe: Bachelor Auction. You boys got bought!
Mike: Christmas, the remodel, charity night were all fantastic but I what I will remember most is my struggles with reading. I tend to talk fast and I recall practicing so I wouldn't slip up when saying the word "buttonhole". Of course, I end up messing it up and reading the word as "butt hole".
Noah: Debut in the newly remodeled room.
So there it is, that's 2012 for us. Did we forget anything? Let us know! It was a fun year hanging out with all of you guys and we're ready to bring on 2013 with all it has to offer. It's time to make some new memories at the Page. Take care, gang!
