Trivia

No, seriously. I don't have anything coherent to write about, so here are the questions from Tuesday Trivia. I know, Shannon, and you can gloat all you want that I'm a copycat.

1. What picture is on the Waterworks space on a Monopoly board?
2. How many measures are typical for a blues song?
3. What was Michelangelo's first name?
4. What is the name of the longest street in NY (20 miles long)?
5. What is the 2nd smallest country in the world? Hint: this country is only bordered by
only one other country.
6. What does the word "espumosa" mean on a Spanish bottle of wine?
7. Name the four most recent films directed by Martin Scorcese.
8. In baseball, who are the "firemen?"
9. What film is this line from, "Goodbye, Mr. Anderson."?
10. What state got its name from the dark, bloody ground according to Daniel Boone?
11. What is hominy with no wheat germ known as in the south?
12. What is the ironic name of the 7.5 inch barreled, single action shotgun famous in the
Wild West?
13. What was the name of the bully who regularly pestered Arnold on "Different Strokes?"
14. In 1984 who did the San Diego Padres beat in the national finals?
15. Name the first four studio albums from Madonna.

Feel free to answer in the comments... Eventually, when Shannon posts the answers, I'll let you know how you did, and how I compare.

Oh. My CO (that's Commanding Officer--aka big man in charge) and my Sergeant Major loved my finished essay. SgtMaj Spadaro appointed himself my literary critic, and said he wants ten percent. I said, "Ten percent of what, Sergeant Major, my two-year membership in the Women Marines Association if I win?" He laughed. It was funny.

I have four days off starting Monday! In port! Woo!
