I notice you're from Louisville, KY.
I'm currently in VA, but I was born in Louisville, and later attended Fort Knox HS, and graduated from U of L (Speed School).

I have some friends who like to play Trivial PursuitŪ. They once roped me into a game and I won so handily that they made a special rule requiring me to go around three times to claim victory. The next game I came in first, second and missed third by one move. They then discovered that I had slept through the '80s and required me to answer only questions from the '80s pack. My answers from then on were limited to "Ronald Reagan" and "Michael Jackson" from which font I chose according to the nature of the question.

Whenever my brother plays trivia games and doesn't know the answer, he always answers "Brooke Shields".
Pick your answer and stick to it.
During the '70s the popular inter-varsity quiz show University Challenge featured a college from Oxford or Cambridge (can't remember which but it's immaterial). As a form of protest the team answered all their questions with the one word - 'Trotsky'.
