So much yelling etc. made it hard to play unless you turned down the music in the house and told people to hush and blah blah 10 minutes later the game finally starts.

So the HQ Trivia game is on the ropes, but it looks like they have a 2nd chance. I stopped playing it because it's noisy but it was a fun sort of mix between just trivia and the old Ringorang game ... you play when everyone plays, and speed counts.

a) I'm out of practice and forgot the open in new tab for compare so I could review my answers. b) apparently I Calvin & Hobbes & Dr. Seuss are the only things that made any impression on my brain c) I'm still slow and sucky!
I do love me some Calvin & Hobbes (and even own the three-volume monster-sized hardbound compilation), but I'll be damned if "How many snowmen..." or "What color was..." questions will ever get more than a WAG from me!

I've always wanted Jeopardy to do a fake/joke Final Jeopardy category before unveiling the actual one. It would've been good to do during that last tournament they just had. Something like "14th Century Bulgarian Radish Farmers"
