Things that you know nothing about

[formerkywrestler]

I have a lot of people who tell me that I know a little something about everything...and I mean a LOT of people tell me that. When I come across something I don't really know much about, I'll generally start researching a little on it as a broad scope...then if I don't find much interest in it, I'll give up on it. That being said, it's honestly kind of tough for me to come up with things that I know "nothing" about.

 

Oh, and just for the record...I'm pretty much unstoppable at Trivial Pursuit.

I think we could get a pretty killer game going on. I'm the same way in that I tend to research things I don't know much about.

:lol: I was on the same page about two weeks ago. Know I've read three with the fourth on the way.

Glad to see you on board.

I always like to learn new things. I usually try to learn a little bit about things I'm unfamiliar with when I can. With that said I have an inveterate fear of numbers and doing things with them. I poked around on Khan Academy a little bit to try to bump up my knowledge, but lost interest pretty quick.

 

I'd like to know a lot more about architecture. I bought a book on it, but it ended up being extremely philosophical, which is fine, but I still can't tell you a whole lot about architecture.

 

I don't know a lot about the "fine arts." I don't know much classical music, for instance. There are a few artists (painters, sculptors, etc.) whose work I like and am familiar with, but I really can't say much about any of the rest of it.

I've long been a player of bar trivia. The "fine arts" -- especially opera -- always gives me the most trouble. Until the members moved away, my longtime trivia team had a very anti-BGP-friendly name for those categories. Which we would often write at the end of the answer upon turning it in, but it is all in fun as I know the host quite well.

 

Having said that, I DVR and religously watch Jeopardy which I'm sure everyone who follows me on Twitter knows. I REALLY like trivia and learning about new things. There are very few things I have a have a desire to know nothing about.

This. :lol: If I hear about something or someone's talking about something I don't know or understand...I'll be on the hunt for more info. As my mom used to say....I'm a jack of all trades, master of none. Things like car issues, I've learned out of necessity. Kind of proud I can say I've changed my own distributor cap, given my own cars tune ups and reattached my own exhaust system. On the other hand, now that I can afford it, I take my car in to have those things done. :lol:

It will be like 10:45 and Former is tweeting about Joepardy. :lol:

 

 

 

This is a hard question I know a little bit about everything.

I don't always watch it live. In fact, I most often watch Jeopardy on the DVR. But, that doesn't mean my thoughts should be contained. :lol: :lol:

I will say, my absolutely weakest point is economics. I live a simple life...earn my check, pay my bills, and hope there's some left over. :lol: When some of you start talking about indicators, stocks, gosh...all kinds of stuff...I try to stay with you. But, I'll just flat out admit it....I usually wind up glassy-eyed before it's all said and done.

My lack of car knowledge can probably better be explained in that, I hate to work on my car or do anything with it so if I have the money I just drop it off and pay for it later. But now that I've put some thought into it, I actually do know how to do quite a bit with cars. Plus, I worked at a repo place for awhile, so if my car breaks I can just go get another.

Movies. I used to watch every single movie at the theater and now I seldom go or watch any. I maybe average watching 1 movie a month.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to a movie. It was the first time I'd been to one since July of 1983 -- Superman III.

Well looks like a lot of you have no weaknesses haha

I have a much better answer now that I'm thinking about trivia. Last week a friend text me and asked if I knew anything about Dr. Who. The bar she plays trivia at has a lot of questions pertaining to it and it foils them week-after-week. Unless the question is one of these two things I am lost.

 

1. Name the two BGP members who absolutely love Dr. Who.

2. In what country is Dr. Who originally aired.

I get that way about politics sometimes but that's mostly because I am so tired of hearing about it.

My knowledge of soccer and hockey are both pretty rudimentary.
