PROFILES IN RAZORING or TRIPLE BLADE A GO-GO*
I’m not much for conspiracy theories. I believe the Holocaust really happened, there was no second shooter in Dallas and Paul McCartney is, in fact, dead. But every once in a while I hear a theory floate...

In a depleted field, Mike de la Loyola came in ahead of the pack to claim another crown, answering 10 of 11 questions correctly. Anon Com came finished at 9 with three players tying for third with scores of 8 (MB, Johann and Russ.) Doug game up lame and h...

As a rule, I don’t post the trivia answers until at least ten people play. At this rate, you may never know who said, "Get a mammogram, man!"
No Take Backs
Perhaps the process for electing a lieutenant governor is flawed. Maybe the po...

Celebrities work hard to entertain us; the least we can do is buy the stuff they’re shilling.
Here’s a round of trivia based on celebrity endorsements. It’s pretty self-explanatory, including the part about not Google cheating.
(Th...

Nothing makes my mind go numb faster than hearing the words "steroids" and "baseball" in the same sentence. It’s the sports topic that will not die, despite countless attempts to beat it to death. Yet it’s obviously a subject o...

Lake Superior State University, which sounds made-up but apparently is not, releases an annual list of 15 words or phrases that should be retired from popular use. Some of them I agree with (chillaxin, teachable moment - unless used mockingly), while othe...

This round is quite simple. I’ll show you a picture of an actor or actress that was taken during their portrayal of a real-life, famous sports figure. You tell me the name of the sports figure, not the actor or actress. You should do quite well, but...

First I blew Santa’s cover with this column that sent my daughter into a tailspin of doubt and confusion. Then I let the Tooth Fairy out of the bag with this story* on two dentists. It’s clear that my writing should be kept away from children,...

At Lowe’s the other day, I was greeted by a cashier who asked me how my "ho-ho-ho season" was going. There was a wee bit of a bite in the way she pronounced those hos. I would soon learn that hers was not an idle pleasantry, but an entry poi...

No one claimed the free beer, but Russ, Nick and Josh share the title with scores of eight.
I knew this would be difficult, but the results were even more dismal than expected. Since most of you know most of these songs, I suppose it’s the result o...

Okay, the last round was too easy so I intend to break you with this one. I’ve upped the questions to a dozen plus a bonus. If anyone scores higher than an 11, I will personally buy you a beer or an equivalent beverage at the establishment of your c...

Blog Free Springfield will return soon with another round of trivia. Until then, here’s another fun little game you can try at home.
The Jeremy game is played by finding famous people whose names can be sung to tune of the final chorus of the Pearl ...

It’s the perfect gift for amateur historians, nostalgia buffs and everyone who has trouble keeping track of what month they’re in.
It’s on sale now, just in time for the holiday season.
It’s sensibly priced at $15.

In my Sunday column - that ran this week to the delight of tens of people - I indicated my doubt as to the authenticity of this video of an alleged drunk guy.
I’m not going to rehash what I wrote; I hashed plenty in the column already. I do w...

Well you aren’t going to win any here.
But if you take the SpringfieldMoms.org user survey before the end of November you’ll be eligible to win such things as a family photo shoot, passes to Knight’s Action Park and the Children&#...

That was easier than I expected. There were five questions that everybody knew and the cumulative score was a whopping nine.
I left off my real stumper (Nanny and the Professor) because I thought it would make the quiz too difficult and because the actor...

Those of us with a working command of the language often take delight in pointing out the grammatical bumbling of lesser writers. After all, what could be more fun than laughing at the illiterate Still, I’ve decided to take a less pedantic stance o...
