The best game in the world used to be Strip Trivial Pursuits...

I have found compelling evidence to support the view that rounders is a silly game

The best game in the world used to be Strip Trivial Pursuits...

I think a Trivial Pursuit Drinking Game could be entertaining... and make it a bit harder to win.

I'm not sure which I like better:

- get a piece of pie, do a shot
- miss a pie piece question, do a shot

just do shots---

I know I'm in the right place when a mathematics question turns into fisticuffs over the silly to non-silly ratio of rounders and the merits of strip trivial pursuit---

Oh I'm in the right place!!!

But who would agree with someone who prefers Bush to Nixon?

Off topic? No such critter...

This is the home of mixed topic conversation!

Rounders seems to be similar to softball, which I LOVE, and played for years--and only broke one bone playing, as opposed to stupid volleyball, where I broke my foot twice, then broke two fingers.

And the combo of strip Trivia with a drinking game was tried more than once.... Correct answer, you get a shot of your choice, incorrect answer, you have to either give up one piece of clothing OR take a shot of the other team's choice.

Wist sufficiently bad gin and a really strong team, you can end up with a roomful of drunken, mostly naked people  while you  (We used to play four teams, 3 to a team...)

If we ever get to play that game around here I want to be in your team...
And yes, I know my trivia...

I also have managed to be disqualified in pictionary for being "too good"  and was demoted to become the judge. 

I did well in most subjects at school but I had three things I hated and dreaded equally: Mathematics, Grammar (Swedish and English alike) and Physical Education...
Funny enough, even though I disliked Math so much, I really liked Chemistry, Biology and Physics. Of cause at that particular level the first two aren't so closely knit to math as they becomes later on at higher levels. Physics was however the reason I finally learned how to do equations... unfortunately I have forgot all about them now.

Apologies Anthrobabe

he is a goat-- they eat paper and tin cans and stuff- that's the problem

girl game my foot- I'll show 'em a girl game
(yes, my inner pirate is showing  )

BTW I think I'm catching some of this MATH stuff--- if I can retain it long enough to pass the exams I'll be fine- yes, I'd like to retain it forever but will be happy to do well in and pass the class.
I'm stubborn if nothing else- it's computer based (the class) and so far in 6 weeks I've logged like 90 hours online.

Darn!!!

You guys have had a math thread and I'm just now finding out about it?

*^$&()&%#^(%#...

[anthrobabe]

it's also known as the 'bang head here' thread (at least for me)--- I'm doing it- the math, it'll sink in and hopefully stick long enough to finish my degree.......

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

I despise math--which I am doing right now.

I will be so glad when I'm done--only stats and calculus left. Yay for a BA (versus a BS, which would require far more math)!
