Tonight I had confirmation that Mr. Murphy of the infamous Murphy’s Law was a trivia buff. I accompanied my friend Melanie to her trivia night tonight, and during the soccer villains category (one I probably would have done well at on paper, as I am a huge sports nut), Melanie decided she was too tired to continue, so I subbed in for her. The rules of the game stated that substitutions could only occur before the latest round’s category was revealed. After the soccer villains I stepped in for her…and wouldn’t you know it, the next category was Lord of the Rings!! Melanie is a HUGE LOTR fan, and I mean HUGE. She has a tattoo of a symbol from the book on her back for pete’s sake! Surprisingly even though I have read a boat-load of books, the LOTR series is one I haven’t been able to digest. I’ve tried several times, but just haven’t been able to get thru them. So Melanie was absolutely in agony watching from the sidelines while the round’s questions went by. Absolutely high-larious.
