BOF, what's Kim Kardashian's cup size?

That's a trick question. She drinks from a glass goblet.

[legov]

 

You're evading the question.

 

You suck. At quizzes.

[BOF]

I have absolutely no idea and nor do I want one.

[villa4europe]

trying to be clever id wrote the city for the 2014 winter games

 

got 20, struggled with the sports / food only got the ganache and herb question right in that round

[legov]

I have absolutely no idea and nor do I want one.

 

That's my point. I have no interest whatsoever in knowing the answers to most of the questions on that awful pub quiz.

There's a difference though. Vacuous pop culture is one thing and general knowledge is another for me. I think there's merit in knowing the planets or food and drink. If you're referring to the music round then fair enough, but you'll probably always get a music round in a pub quiz which would make most/all pub quizzes 'awful' in your book That and film/tv for me are the only ones that would relate to Kardashian's cup size

[Stevo985]

Not bad!

 

SHould have known or at least guessed the slave one!

And I was going to guess Swan Lake and changed my mind!

[Stevo985]

You're shit at editing posts, that's for sure

[BOF]

Zing!

[Pelle]

I wonder if poeple don't dare to admit that they knew the answer of the lyrics question. That was one of the easiest. Though, I always question if that song really should be dedicated to him or the duo he was in as it was on their album.

[Stevo985]

I didn't know it. I knew the 5 members of one direction so I'd have no problem admitting to knowing that.

 

I've heard that song before, but I couldn't tell you any of the lyrcis, let alone those specifically
