Pub Quiz

Tonight, as it was our last day of school for two weeks, I joined a few fellow teachers at a local pub for a common British pasttime: a pub quiz.  The quiz was organized into different categories such as sports, this week's news, Easter, etc.  I was able to participate and contribute a few answers such as: "When Americans say they are xeroxing something, what does that mean?"

There was also a song round where the first 30 seconds of a song were played and we had to guess the title and artist.  I got a couple of those, but the one that made me smile the most was "Make My Dreams Come True" by Hall and Oates.  One summer, my parents and I were on a trip to the Pacific Northwest and as I played songs on the iPod, Dad tried to guess who the artist was.  For some reason, he repeated Hall and Oates nearly every time.  So, I give credit to my Dad for that point because I wouldn't have gotten it right had it not been for him, repeating their names so many times!


After tallying up the points, our team came out on top by 1/2 a point!  Which means we won a case of wine and a case of beer!  We're already making plans on when we can enjoy the winnings together.  It was a great night out with friends at my very first official pub quiz!
