It didn&#8217;t take long before everyone who played against him found his Achilles&#8217; heel &#8212; the category was &#8220;Entertainment&#8221;. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Yep, that young man was me and I was a terror at Trivial Pursuit in every category except Entertainment. Like I know who Tom Hanks and Gene Wilder and Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart are. But I have no idea who most actors and actresses are. For example, I thought Reese Witherspoon was a basketball player &#8212; and that&#8217;s the truth. I thought Kanye West was a girl. Stuff like that. I didn&#8217;t know entertainment when I was young and I know even less about it now. Unlike EB I don&#8217;t have my head buried in &#8220;People&#8221; magazine and I sure don&#8217;t read &#8220;Cosmopolitan&#8221; &#8211; I know EB should be ashamed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The point is, and yes I do have one, that almost everyone loves a good trivia quiz. I guess because if you flunk a trivia quiz you can still think you&#8217;re smart, whereas if you took a test of general knowledge and flunked you&#8217;d probably cry. EB did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">EB has been the butt of my jokes for a long time and I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll continue to be because she treats me so poorly this is the only way I can get back at her and live. Even then, every weekend I live in fear that she&#8217;ll be hiding in the dark ready to swat me or do something awful in retribution. But hey, it&#8217;s only fair that I get a chance to take a few verbal swipes at her. And yes, everything I tell you about EB is 100% true! Just in case you think I make it all up, I want to tell you she&#8217;s as mean as I tell you she is. Just be glad you&#8217;re not her neighbor. She has a sign at the end of her driveway that says &#8220;Stay out or be shot&#8221;. And if you&#8217;re tempted just look up at her front porch and you&#8217;ll see granny EB sitting there in a housedress cradling a shotgun. I shudder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Getting back to the subject at hand: One good thing EB did this week &#8211; during her idle time, and she has lots of it because I do all the work &#8212; was find this site of the week. Of course, she knows I&#8217;m a Trivia buff, she just doesn&#8217;t think I know anything. But I&#8217;m going to prove her wrong. And a lot of you think I&#8217;m full of hot air and don&#8217;t know much; I&#8217;m going to prove you wrong too &#8212; just hold onto your britches there buster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The site is called<a href=\"http:\/\/www.triviaplaza.com\/\">\u00a0Trivia Plaza<\/a>. If you love Trivia as much as I do, then you&#8217;ll really love this site. If you waste time as much as EB does, then you&#8217;ll really love this site too. And yes, for all you non-believers, I actually really did try the site. Want to see proof?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><em><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"auto-style55\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2023\/tplaza.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Internet InfoAve\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>You can see from the image above, I actually visited our site of the week.

Haha!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><em><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"auto-style55\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2023\/tplaza2.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Internet InfoAve\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>Proving that I&#8217;m an old geezer, look above and you&#8217;ll see I scored 100% and got an A in the 1965 lyrics category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">So there you have it folks. You&#8217;ve now learned that TC is not completely hopeless and lost, he&#8217;s just being held back by the mean and incorrigible EB. Given a chance, as you can see, he shines!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">EB would not allow me to post her Trivia test results under threat of horrible things. I don&#8217;t like the horrible things she is capable of so, as you can see, I complied. Her results will remain classified!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you like Trivia as much as we do,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.triviaplaza.com\/\"><strong>you&#8217;ll love our site of the week, Trivia Plaza<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0&#8212; discovered by EB and conquered by TC!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This Cloudeight Site Pick is Not Trivial Trivia Buffs will Love Trivia Plaza A long, long time ago, in a kingdom by the sea, there lived a young man who played Trivial Pursuit with anyone who would play it with him.
