• Some pals conjectured last night that the four of us would make an unstoppable trivia team -- but they know of nowhere in the West Inland Empire to play trivia. Anybody know of bars that have a trivia night?
(For the record, I think they're fooling themselves -- the only sports we have covered between the four of us are cycling, horse racing, and college football. And sumo, which I hear is a very popular topic at trivia nights.)
• While I was gone, they up and numbered the exits on the 10! What I want to know is, how did Indian Hill get numbered 47?
• Koki's -- the Korean joint in the same shopping center as Pho Ha on Indian Hill -- is now Pittsburgh Chicken & Ribs. It's too bad -- I never even got a chance to try Koki's out. Every time we tried, they were closed, either for repairs after the Hummer smashed into their storefront or for mysterious reasons.
• That said, "Pittsburgh Chicken & Ribs"??? What particular claim to chicken and ribs does Pittsburgh, of all places, have?
The frontispiece is the first hit I got on the word "trivia."

Seamus knows a lot of baseball trivia too, and a decent amount about pro football and basketball. He usually does pretty well on sports in general.
I thought the freeway exit numbers had been around for a while. Years, even, unless we're talking about different things. This article from fall 2000 mentions it.
Oh, ha, that's actually the same article you linked to.
I'm terrible at sports but decent at popular culture. I won a lot of prizes at bars in the early '80s by knowing such things as the town where Rocky and Bullwinkle lived (Frostbite Falls, MN).
