I like the original Trivial Pursuit.

Funny story about Trivial Pursuit that happened to me while Eeees and I were dating.

Eeees and I were playing TP at my house one day (the game was very popular back in the 80s). Of the six categories in the original game, my weakest category is Entertainment. So, after I collected all six wedges and got to the center of the board, Eeees chose entertainment.

The question that I got asked me to whose picture did Judy Garland sing “You Made Me Love You” in some 1938 movie (I forget the title now). I knew the correct answer (Clark Gable) only because I had seen a special on TV about a week earlier where that particular clip from that movie was played. She was completely surprised and shocked that I knew the answer.

The very next time we played Trivial Pursuit was about a few weeks later. Once again, I collected all six wedges and got to the center of the board. Entertainment was still my weakest category and so, again, Eeees chose Entertainment and drew a card from the box.

It was the exact same question. 🙂
