We are still in St. Croix

This was taken out at the west end of the island Sunday afternoon. We were at a place called Rhythms at Rainbow Beach. There was a band there called Reverend Raven and his chain-smoking altar boys playing very enjoyable blues.


This may look like a tennis racket but its actually our new favorite mosquito zapper. It is powered by 2 aa batteries. When the small button on the handle is pressed a red light goes on and its time to start swinging. When grid meets insect snap, crackle and pop. The warning on the handle says not to use it on animals. It does not pack enough punch to harm mammals but I am careful not to touch it all the same.



Last night Jim and I played Trivia at Chicken Charlies. This consists of 6 or 7 rounds of 6 questions each read by a master of ceremonies who drinks a shot (a big shot) of Grand Marnier between each round followed by much beer. As you can see by the stunning trophy, we won! We beat the Bogey Golfers, Cat Ladies, the Simpletons, the Barflys, the Renegades, the Clueless Chumps, the Dirtballs, and the Dimwits. Our team is called The Simpsons. Hey it took us a long time to come up with that. Sample question, "what teen in a TV show sometimes dated Mary Ellen Rodgers?" Answer in comments please.

Hey, it was Wally, not that smarmy Eddie Haskell, right?
That picture of the clouds looks like heaven.

Actually, Ward Cleaver, Beaver's father, datedMary Ellen Rodgers for several weeks--behind June's back! He picked her up at Rotary Club, where she was waiting tables. Wally met her coming down the stairs in episode 102, mistaking her for the Beaver's babysitter. Eventually the two "fell in love" and had "above-the-waist" sex together (episode 134), the earliest revelation of the female breast in sitcom history. Note that after that episode Ward and Mary Ellen never again appear together. Mary Ellen went on to become the great actress Jamie Lee Curtis.

Congrats, Simpsons! Do you add an accessory to the coconut pig?

Yes, Wally Cleaver is the correct answer. We get to keep da coconut for one week at which time we return him with a little added tidbit. We thought something Simpsonish would be good but so far no luck, Marge, Homer et al are no where to be found.

I think "The Simpsons" for your team name is great. It's original, flashing and creative.

Were there different categories or just general trivia? I'm limited in my trivia skills thats for sure.
