The person next to me’s question: This animal goes bark, and is a good boy. What is it?

My question: What major flaw in the Austrian-Hungarian empire caused stagnation in coal mining between 1877-1879?

That goddamned Sports chip is my Trivial Pursuit kryptonite.

Look at this loser who doesn't even know who won the 1972 US Open Championship Game by defeating Roy Klipintopovich.

That's the game with the big stringy paddles, right?

You never want to play a trivia game against the person who owns said trivia game.

There's a pub near Leighton Buzzard that has stacks of TP cards on the tables.

Only slightly abbreviated? So like "evr'yne"? Or "e'ryone"? "Evr1" is just a little too far.

I only own specific niche versions of Trivial Pursuit to give myself the best chance at winning. I got a Star Trek one (it even comes in a little shuttle), the 90s one, and one all about video games. 😃
