.... with a team of two Germans, an Italian, a Chilean, and an American. You'd think that we'd maybe have a good chance of competing in a random trivia game. Yeah, apparently not. A few of my roommates and I heard about Trivia Night on Monday at our favorite Irish bar, so we decided to pull together a team of five and give it a shot. The questions were read out-loud in French, in the categories of General Culture, Music, Movies, Celeb Photos, Films, and Sports. A surprisingly high amount, in my opinion, of the questions centered around American culture (particularly in the music and film categories), and unfortunately I don't think I was of much help to my team! Whatever the reason (the often inaudible French question-reader, the bad microphone, the "anglophone" tilt to most of the questions & topics, or just too many pints) ... l'Auberge des Assistants (our cute team name) came in last out of all the teams. But we had a good time with it, of course! I was proud for having identified a random 10-second clip from
Jaws (and no, not an obvious scene with the ocean or the shark in it), but was equally as ashamed when I incorrectly answered a question about the 40th American President ... sorry, Ronald. And who knew that the Miami Dolphins were the last (or only?) NFL team to go undefeated through the entire season? Not me. As a proud Hoosier, I went with Indianapolis on that one. It was fun, but we're not sure if we'll make a second showing for Quiz Night :)
