Last Pub Quiz

For the past several weeks, I have been attending a local Pub Quiz in Highgate. Although I feel I have little to contribute--I am not one to know much trivial knowledge--I have been able to answer about 4 questions correcty.

Question 1: Who was the solo singer for the When Harry Met Sally Soundtrack?

Harry Connick Jr.
Duh. This was an obvious question deliberately assigned for ME to answer.


Question 2: What movie stared Kevin Bacon and had a hit single from Bonnie Tyler?

Footloose.
Another, duh. I told them it was either Footloose or Tremors...I was almost positive it wasn't Tremors.


Question 3: What was the burger McDonalds put out as a leaner alternative?

This was a silly guess: The McLean. I got it right. hahaha.


Question 4: Who was the backing group for Gloria Estafan?

(I got a little help from this one...) Miami Sound Machine



There were many, many American questions that I couldn't answer, however.
Like:

How many boys does George Foreman have that are named "George"?
5--I should have known this...

What is the oldest University in the U.S.?
Harvard--I said William and Mary just because it was too easy to name Harvard.

What was the movie where Elvis played two roles?
Can't remember the answer...I just knew I should know this with all the Elvis movies my Mom watches.


Despite my lack of quiz knowledge, I have had a wonderful time the past few weeks getting to know some of Amanda's Med-School friends.

I will miss going out for a glass of wine, talking with witty Brits, and being filled with the excitement of possibly knowing an answer to a quiz question. YES! I will miss the bus ride to Highgate with Amanda where we discuss a multitude of things, the hike up the never-ending hill, and our tradition of making French Toast when we get back.
