All Star Pop Culture Trivia

Last night was another match of the Portland division of All Star Pop Culture Trivia. Aretha's Hat went into the night with a decent lead in points for the Portland division. After weeks of badgering the head honcho for a Madonna round of trivia, he acquiesced and the Super Six was dedicated to the Queen of Pop herself.

First round was all about Chick Flicks, we rocked this round. 9 out of 10 correct. Second round was the year 1992, we ran the table that round with 9 out of 10 correct. Third round was a tough one for us. Name "THAT GUY". You know... That Guy! Him! He was in that one movie... He played so and so.. name the actor.. 5 outa 10, ouch!. Half time question was "Who of the following did not guest star on Friends? a. Slema Blair b. George Clooney c. Hugh Laurie or d. Kate Walsh" We answered dear ole Dr. Addison Montgomery and thankfully got it right for the ten points. Onto round four for "Name the place" This show was set in what city? 5 outa 10. ouch again! Round five: One Hit Wonders.. some very obscure stuff. We were shaken but not stirred after two bruising rounds with a strong start. Marcy Playground, Concrete Blonde and Luscious Jackson et all. I was really hoping for some Los Lobos. We did alright with 7 outa 10. Going into the Super Six we had accumulated 45 points out of 60 possible.

Question one: What is the name of the James Bond movie that Madonna recorded the theme for and had a cameo in? Our Answer: Die Another Day.

Question two: What was the name of her first single? Our Answer: Everybody

Question three: What is the name of Madonna's first husband? Our Answer: Sean Penn

Question four: Who opened for Madonna on her first tour in 1985? Our Answer: Beastie Boys

Question five: What Oscar nominated film maker directed Madonna's Express Yourself music video? Our answer: David Fincher

Question six: According to IMDB.com what was Madonna's first appereance in a movie? Our answer: (we left this blank) We couldn't remember the exact name of the first movie Madonna appeared in which was a TINY independent film shot in 1979 before she became famous. We also hesitated becasue we weren't sure if IMDB.com would have listed that or the first mainstream film she was in which is Vision Quest.

Drum roll...

We got them all right! GO US!

Now for the scores to be tallied and the winner announced...

WE WON! A resounding thumping of the other Portland division teams. We scored a 60. the next closest team was Google This with 35 points. We have further increased our lead in the league.

Now we just have to keep winning and hope that we get the Oscar Pool points!

Go Aretha's Hat

Song of the Day... Madonna - Frozen

All Star Pop Culture Trivia

Tonight is the latest installment of All Star Pop Culture Trivia. Aretha's Hat (my team) has solidly taken first place in the Portland division.

The leader board for the Portland division:

1. Aretha's Hat : 167
2. Team PDA: 145
3. Bologna Nipples: 115
4. Google This: 107
5. The Pussies Galore: 83

Last week we won our first match after two agonizing weeks being the bridesmaid and never the bride. However each week we increased our score and had in many ways the most solid performances for the Portland division thus far.

Despite a strong showing Bologna Nipples was unable to match us in the Super 6 round. We were tied going into the final round and we ran away with it by getting 5 of the 6 questions correct and they only got one correct. We talked with an emissary from Team PDA who had realized by now from our solid performances that they were out gunned and wanted to let us know that they were going to go all Tonya Harding on our asses and we'd be screaming "WHY ME?!?!?!"

Original team member Branden is moving to South Korea and will no longer be playing with us. Adrian may not be able to come tonight due to his sore back but I know he is motivated to come.
George is unsure of his ability to attend tonight.
but Ted and I are both very excited about kicking some butt.

Still A Rock Star...

It is slushing outside right now, not rain, not snow but slush...

Tonight is "That's So Gay Trivia" at Crush hosted by the beautiful Michelle..
Tonight's hints:

• Trivioake: Country Divas (think reba, the chicks, loretta, dolly, etc.)
• Mystery: Literature (think famous characters...)
• Picture Pages: Celebs in High School

I still haven't decided if I am going tonight. I feel like I need a week off, though Aretha's Hat will be showing up to defend our All Star Pop Culture Trivia title this week on Thursday. This week's Super Six hint is "The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences" aka The Grammy Awards.
