Fall 2016 Trivia Week #1 (8.31)

Welcome

1. So question #1 of the illustrious Fall 2016 Trivia season is a riddle. “I don’t go out and play. I just stay at home all day. You may have thought how pretty I be, but mostly your feet just rub me.”

Daylight - Matt & Kim

2. So I attempted to arrange the rounds in such a way as to send you a message and welcome you all to something you might hear in the not so distant future. But we’re all postponing that for now. In other news, Welcome is a brand of Skateboards with several riders for it who all have selfies for their pictures on their website. Anyways, one of them reminded me of the creator of Myspace’s iconic photo. Who created MySpace?

Tom Anderson

Tom Ford - Jay Z

3. So I googled welcome and of course the search yielded countless universities trying to welcome me to their pages and recruit me. All that to say, what is the largest university in America per enrollment size of undergraduate students? Hint: their mascot is the knights.

University of Central Florida

Florida Kilos by Lana del Rey

4. Welcome to New York is what I’ll be saying to myself tomorrow afternoon as I frolic around the city. Whose song would I be singing from her most recent album if I just roll’d with that blaring? Enjoy a funny song clue for this one hehehe.

Back to

1. So one of my all time favorite bands used to put their songs in an order like the rounds for tonight. They also had a song called Back to Back that used to be an alarm. It’s by the band the Chariot – check it out sometime. It’s beautiful. Back to the question. What is the #1 song according to the Billboard Top 100. I’ll even play it for you because I’m such a nice guy.

Closer – The Chainsmokers, feat. Halsey

2. So that band I was talking about is no longer together and it’s sad but their farewell tour featured me leaving a show covered in sweat that was a mixture of mine and many other people. That was also almost 3 years ago and in the past. Back to the present, or is it the future? Hmm. Name the full name of “Doc” from Back to the Future. Refer to the 3rd movie if you’re having trouble.

Emmet Brown

3. I’ll be back. Iconic. Back to Arnold. Where was former Gov. Schwarzenegger born? For an opportunity to go double or nothing on this one, spell his last name. If it’s wrong no points. If it’s right, double the points. Obviously if you spell his name right but get where he’s from wrong then you still get no points.
