We got spanked in trivia last night. Did pretty well in English, geography, science, and electives, but math and Greek mythology were pretty much bloodbaths. RIP Norsemen.

Last night was cheap drinkin and eatin! We went to Vines (yes, it's in stupid Wrigleyville, but the bar itself was very tolerable) where they had $1 Miller Lite bottles and 1/2 price sandwiches. I had 6 beers and a delicious turkey panini with fries. My bill was $11.50. With tip that's $20 for all that!
Plus the bartender bought us a round of shots.

Not to get into a tipping discussion, but I think it's important to always tip on the amount your bill would have been PRE-discount.
― Jesse, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:27 (seventeen years ago) link
I don't want to do that much math, but that seems reasonable. How much do I tip on this ridiculously cheap bill? A lot.

Jordan, throw me some Greek mythology trivia! Love that shit -- but I didn't learn it in HIGH SCHOOL, that's for fucking sure.

All I know about Greek mythology I learned in a song in second grade:
Pan, Pan, Greek God Pan, One half goat and one half man

Yeah, they would've been for me, too. Even when I was in high school Scholastic Bowl, I ceded all the mythology questions to one of the other guys on the team.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link
Okay, but no googling:
1) Name one of the Fates.
2) Cronus cut off who's testicles and threw them into the sea, leading to the birth of what god or goddess (two parts)?
3) What god of strife participated in the Trojan War?
Other questions may have been more obscure, but I can't remember them well enough.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link
nope. nothin'.

1. Okay I can't off the top of my head 2. First answer I wd guess Uranus, the second is def Aphrodite 3. Ares/Mars
― Laurel, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:08 (seventeen years ago) link
My only guess would be Tiresias for #2.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link
Although I don't think s/he was a god/goddess as much as a prophet.
Laurel's 2 & 3 are right, I couldn't remember fucking Uranus (probably because I associate all the planet names w/the Roman versions).
― Jordan, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link
hm. I googled, and some of that was still hard to tease out
― kenan, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link
1) Clotho, Lachesis, or Atropos 2) Uranus (his father), Aphrodite 3) Eris
For the Fates, I could only think of the muses. I knew the fates did stuff with thread, but they have hard names to remember (Lachesis, Atropos, and Clotho)(well, I guess Clotho makes sense).

Yeah, Jordan, I was just looking up the Muses like two days ago and that's all I could think of!
― Laurel, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link
Oh, I didn't see "did stuff with thread." I had no idea what a Fate was.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link
You're right, Laurel, that that's definitely not high-school material. I mean, I picked up a little from sophomore year English class, when we read Oedipus Rex and Antigone and The Odyssey, oh and then senior year we read Prometheus Bound, but I don't remember ever studying mythology on its own, unconnected to literature.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:18 (seventeen years ago) link
We went over some in Latin, but not intensively.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, not for me either! I was a mythology reader as a kid and a Classical Civ minor in college, but that is DEFFO not HS stuff not because it's particularly HARD but just because no one studies it anymore!
― Laurel, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link
It would make me really happy as a trivia category, though. :D
― Laurel, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, I had a great time, but unfort. the upcoming trivia themes are all bullshit geek stuff, like Star Wars or Joss Whedon shows.

btw how much will i have to tip the bar person if i go and get a drink? is it like $1?

Yes, a dollar.
― jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link
$1 a drink is safe. But at airport prices, I say stiff 'em. Seven dollar beer? Christ almighty.
― kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link
btw plz do not actually stiff 'em, Jesse will never forgive me.
Also, we have two airports, Kenan! But plans for a third have been tied up in Springfield for years.
― jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link
thanks! i'll do $1 since i'm on holiday and all that! bye chicago ilx! xx

do you really imagine I am unaware that we have two airports? :)
But yeah, o'hare is the big hub, of, like, everywhere, and getting stuck at o'hare is like some kind of traveler's rite of passage. Which does not leave the best impression of Chicago.

OK, sorry, the sarcasm was lost on me because I thought you were making a reference to the long-standing dispute over where to build Chicago's third airport.

I mean, O'Hare is our Big Airport, Midway is just a kind of dinky little place where the budget flights come from. O'Hare is inadequate for what it is, which is the busiest airport in America.
― kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link
I thought he was clearly dismissing Midway b/c hardly anything goes there, anyway, and O'Hare is the only REAL airport in Chicago. And the reference to the non-existent 3rd 'port is self-explanatory. xp right.
― Laurel, Thursday, 13 September 2007 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link
I like Midway. there are hot dogs there.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 13 September 2007 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link
I think Atlanta-Hartfield may be #1 now.
― jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link
Looked it up to check myself, and I was wrong. It's not the busiest airport in America. Atlanta is. Chicago is second. BTW, those are also #1 and #2 worldwide.
