One of the things I'm really good at (if I do say so myself) is useless information. You know, things like name all of the James Bond movies that starred Roger Moore(in order, thank you very much). It's really no use to anyone but there it is...in my brain...refusing to go away. But I have an outlet for such banal information...it's called trivia night. Several times a week, when I'm in town, I get together with my friends at a local eatery or pub or what have you and share my vast knowledge with others of my kind. While this isn't rocket science(although sometimes those questions do come up) it's a great way to relax and socialise. My specialty, if you will, is pop culture, movies, music, actors that sort of thing. Oh, and if any Anthropology questions come up, I'm expected to answer those as well. My friends refer to me as "The Movie Whore" and although I think they mean it affectionately, I'm not sure if I like it or not. However, as long as we win, it doesn't matter what they call me. Prizes generally aren't anything special unless you win top spot...2nd and 3rd are always really cheesy things. Although I did once get a Spiderman action figure that I just went nuts over. The point is to WIN!!! You then have bragging rights...which everyone knows is the most important thing.
