Stravinksi!? Offenbach?? Who actually listens to them for fun? (My wife listens to this on radio, I had no idea.)

Oh my word, wouldn’t my rear be handed to me? Even though my pub trivia team, the So Called Quizlamic State always hit first or second?

While the show does make me feel dumb sometimes then they ask something about American culture and the wife and I are like umm duh, how did they not know that?

It’s a copy of an American programme, is that still on?

As far as getting your rear handed to you, isn’t that why you should aim for a broad range of subjects (and as many grad students as they’ll let you have?)

Questions like, “what flower bloomed for a monarch in England in 1347 while his brother was dealing with tuberculosis” will be nailed by my wife, but why couldn’t I remember Stravinski!?

What other post modern popular Russian composer was there? (When one of the contestants mentioned Tchaikovsky I wanted to punch the screen)

Isn’t it sad that shows like that just don’t last on American TV?

Isn’t she an amazing woman? Didn’t I show up early for work years and years ago so I could take a long lunch to get ‘Stories From The Nerve Bible’ signed? Then went to see her show that same evening?

Can we start a petition to get falcor to hand out Donalds for breaking the rules? Change.org perhaps?

Wouldn’t he be more likely just to eat us for insolence if we tried that?
