Answers to last week's trivia

The past week my mean husband has had me chained to a keyboard typing papers for him. I am very very excited for the semester to be over. I would love to put all the slacker blame on him, but it's not all his fault. I was going to post the trivia answers on Sunday, but on Saturday night I went to a fabulous holiday party and drank so much champagne that I had to stay in bed until Monday evening. And now here we are. For those of you who saw me in my drunken state on Saturday, I know you forgive me the late answers because I entertained you all with my ridiculous behavior. For those of you who didn't see me, forgive me anyway because I was that ridiculous. So at last! Here they are:

The big results:

Maria got 7 out of 20. She does not approve of cheerful, heartwarming holiday movies. In her spare time, Maria likes to club baby seals and knock over old ladies. Just kiddin' Maria!

Christen and Mary tied at 10 out of 20. If you have not seen It's a Wonderful Life and you are looking for an excuse to cry your eyes out with tears of joy, please watch it. This is in my top 5 all time favorite movies.

Janna takes third place with 12/20. Way to go. Watch out regulars. Janna strikes me as someone who will be out to win and I predict victory soon for her.

Three cheers for Joe Mc in second place with 13/20. Nobody wants to play with a Charlie in the Box, Rudolph...

My older, wiser sister breezes in for Trivia Thursday for the first time ever and what does she do? She wins. Ann Marie got 15 out of 20 and wins this week. Way to go. You better play again biatch!

Thanks for playing everybody.
