SCENE: Faux-Irish pub in Harvard Square, location for Metafilter meetup at Geeks Who Drink trivia quiz [important note: I use a different screen name on Mefi]. General conversation about how trivia success depends on having shared knowledge with the judge or quiz writers.
Me: blah blah blah once I won big in a trivia contest in college because I was the only person besides the judge who knew what Time Cube was.
Other people: What's Time Cube?
Me: You are educated stupid! Each day has four corners!
One guy: Oh, yeah, I used to lurk on this Usenet group? that talked about things like that? Kibology?
Me: Oh really? I just posted to ark today.
Guy [with dawning comprehension and possibly awe]: Oh wait a minute. Are you PLONKWART?
