Round: No One Likes You When You’re 23
So I really like getting older, I like to think I’m finally starting to be the age that my personality requires. So maybe in about 20 years, I’ll get to the point where my age is realistic.
One thing that is pretty neat about being 23 is that no one can make jokes about me feeling “22” so I’m really gonna miss out on a lot of Taylor Swift jokes. What state was Taylor Swift born in?
Pennsylvania (Pencil full of Lead-Paolo Nutini)
One thing that I like about my birthday is the excuse to bake myself a cake. And eat my cake too. I just really enjoy baking and can’t normally find enough people to force my baked goods on to. Who is the top grossing celebrity Chef?
Gordon Ramsay (Dirty Talk- Wynter Gordon)
I also enjoy a chance to make people come out and drink with me. Otherwise I spend a lot of time alone on my couch writing trivia questions on a saturday night. I spend that time watching TV as well. What is the most watched TV show of 2014/2015?
Big Bang Theory (opposite of Adults- Chiddy Bang)
I also like my birthday because I live for getting packages in the mail. It makes everyday more exciting. What is the busiest month of the year for mail?
December (December, 1963- Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons)

All my travels and tribulations
Two years ago now my family and I went to London and saw all the tourist sites including Big Ben. Big Ben has an official name that has nothing to do with Ben. Who is Big Ben named for?
Queen Elizabeth II (Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen)
I went to Monaco on the same trip and gambled at Monte Carlo, which I am really proud of. I used to introduce Monte Carlo by telling people it was the casino from Casino Royale, until I watched Casino Royale on a plane and realized it had nothing to do with Monte Carlo. Where is the casino in Casino Royale?
Montenegro (Montego Bay - Bobby Bloom)
Back when I was in high school my family and I took a road trip to South Dakota to see all the sights out there. We were originally supposed to go camping but our tent got hit by a tornado so that but the kabash on that plan. We did see a lot though, including Deadwood, South Dakota, the town where Wild Bill Hickock was shot while playing poker. The hand he was holding is now called the Deadman’s hand, what is it?
Ace's and Eights, A88A (Dancing Queen - ABBA)

Round: I have accomplished nothing
I really enjoy comparing myself to how much other people have accomplished by my age, which always seems like much more.
For instance, my main squeeze Alexander Hamilton had already been fighting in the Revolutionary War next to George Washington. I wish I knew Marquis de Lafayette. One of the reasons that Hamilton was eventually shot by Burr was the election of 1800. Who was elected in the election of 1800?

By 21, Steve Jobs had already founded Apple. What was the first product apple sold?

Alpha Centauri (Alphabet Arobics- Blackalicious)
The director of “Boyz n the Hood” had released that movie by 23. Which is the movie I most identify with in my life. Ice Cube was in this movie. What important rap group was Ice Cube a part of in the 80s?

Famous Quotes and Misquotes
There are a lot of quotes out there that aren’t necessarily accurate, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they can be some really quality quotes, and I don’t think truth should stop us from repeating them. Henry Ford has one such quote, he allegedly said of the Model T "You can have any color you want as long as it is ____"
Black (My Humps- Black Eyed Peas)
There is some top notch advice on the internet in the form of quotations, my personal favorite is “You should always go to other people’s funerals otherwise they won’t come to yours.” Who gave us that invaluable piece of advice?
Yogi Berra (Agora - Bear Hands)
Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most misquoted people out there. You'll see all sorts of inspirational-ish quotes with Gandhi's name tacked on the end and not a lot in the way of actual provenance. Bumper stickers with phrases like "Be the change you wish to see in the world" because what he actually said wouldn’t fit on a bumper sticker. What does Mahatma translate to?
Great Soul (Great Balls of Fire-Jerry Lee Lewis)
My roommate thought the quote "Do you feel lucky punk?" was said Jim Carrey, it is actually a misquote Dirty Harry, so he was close. Granted, Jim Carrey did say it in The Mask, but it came from Dirty Harry first. What actor plays Dirty Harry?
Clint Eastwood (Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz)
Shakespeare is one of the most widely quoted figures in history, and a lot of what people quote isn't quite right. Name me five of Shakespeare's plays. (36 total)
