I hate it when I can't think of "The Beatles" as an answer for every question.<BR/>After a few shots of whiskey, the answers get a little confusing anyway.Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03613714863799177911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334836757176538347.post-64993818286209779202007-02-24T06:27:00.000-08:002007-02-24T06:27:00.000-08:00With Jeopardy, trivia's all well and good, but what you really need is to play lots of video games and build up those reflexes. (Trust me on this one.) Still, if an agent ever turns up the show I'll probably turn into a screaming fangirl.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it would look to good to the clients, though. Nathan, do you have an opinion here? Something deep, profound, and involving monekys on the status of today's literary-agent friendly gameshows?Mirihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076693898421760613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334836757176538347.post-68113275828301829812007-02-24T05:42:00.000-08:002007-02-24T05:42:00.000-08:00Congrats on the trivia win, Nathan. Next stop? Jeopardy!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your weekly publishing news. Interesting and informative as usual. =oDB.E.

I only hope he had a nice childlike youth, because he sounds way too mature for his age. And I hope he will learn about a dog's scrotum too, so he can win on trivia-night and collect the money for a good cause.<BR/>Thanks for the news Nathan. This beats all this stuff about A.N.

Well, he's much more altruistic than me, that's for certain. I'm in this for the fame, the glory (ha!), and the writing. (Selfish soul that I am.) More power to him and I wish him continued success (while keeping the green-eyed monster firmly locked in the cage behind the bar).<BR/><BR/>Hmm. Trivia night at a bar is nice. But tell me, have you ever won trivia night on a cruise ship? :)<BR/><BR/>(In all seriousness, thanks for these posts. They're wildly informative and pretty funny.)Mirihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076693898421760613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334836757176538347.post-15841526359664584712007-02-23T10:45:00.000-08:002007-02-23T10:45:00.000-08:00Sylvia-<BR/><BR/>Hmm, that's strange.

As I understand it, part of the challenge is being good at trivia after a certain number of beers. :)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, this was another very informative post. It's very interesting to get an industry insider's take on these sorts of things.<BR/><BR/>ChrisChristopher M.
