Fall League Trivia 9/17/14

Round 1: Rickyisms
1. Preface: Rickyisms from Trailer Park Boys are misspoken common phrases. One of my fav rickyisms is “It’s water under the fridge”. Obviously it’s supposed to be bridge. Speaking of bridges there is a bridge in Boston that is fairly new (10-15 years old) that is a continuation of I-93 and leads straight into a tunnel. I want to know the name of that bridge. Hint it’s right next to the TD Garden. 

Zakim Bridge (Invisible - Clay Aiken)


2. Another awesome one is “It looks like a tropical earthquake or something blew through here”. Speaking of earthquakes what is the largest recorded earthquake since 1900 that has been recorded on the richter scale. I’ll take either the number or location. 


9.5 magnitude in Chile in 1960 (Lay Me Down - The Dirty Heads)


3. Another word Ricky can’t really say is jalapeno. He says it Jalapeno. Where do the majority of the US’s jalapenos come from? 


Mexico (The Next Episode - Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg)


4. Ricky also said this goldmine of a quote “It’s Clear to See Who Makes the Pants Here”. I want to know what is the best selling brand of jeans for men in the US for the previous year? 


Levis (Parking Lot Party - Lee Brice)


Bonus Round

So Netflix did everybody a huge favor and picked up Trailer Park Boys for a brand new season. Also they have already signed on for two more seasons which is awesome! So I just want to know 5 original series that Netflix has come up with. Not continuations of old shows, but actual original series.

3. There are around 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body. If you took them all out and laid them end to end, they’d stretch around the world more than twice. The line that stretches around the earth halfway between the north and sout pole is called the equator. I want to know what line runs parallel to the equator a quarter of the distance between the equator and then North pole? (Name not number)
