"Limbaugh on Steinbrenner"

"That cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires," the radio commentator said Tuesday on his show after the New York Yankees owner died at age 80. "He fired a bunch of white guys as managers left and right."



Needless to say a lot of people are upset. Duh, what was he thinking?

"Mr. Trivia"

Just call me Mr. trivia. I know J.C. Flippen, Andrew Duggan, Ward Bond, and that Vitto Scotti was in a Rock Hudson movie entitled "Blindfold."

With that being said I went to "Big Daddy's," a local suds and brew here on golden pond, for adult trivia night.

I knew the first three answers:

17 is the age that most girls lose their virginity. ( simply a guess on my part-I think I was 25-or was it 30-for me ).

Opium was the reason for a war between China and some other country in the 1800's.

Can't remember the 3rd question but I aced it.

You also got bonus points if you knew the song ( actually the artist ) that was being played with each question.

That was the rub....for me. No Beatles, Stones, Lloyd Price, Spooky Tooth, Vanilla Fudge, Cream-not even Mott the Hoople.

I did know two of the songs. Kiss and Guns N Roses. 2 outta twenty is pathetic for Mr. Trivia.

Maybe next time Vitto Scotti will be the answer, or perhaps I should try being blindfolded!

P.S. No Byrds either!
