bringin back an old favorite

I think that today, even though it’s a Wednesday not Tuesday when I used to do trivia, that I’ll do trivia. 

Yay!  Please answer if you know the answers, but we like to share here at Incogblogo. Two is usually the max. Also, while I can’t TELL that you’ve cheated - you’ll totally know that you have and you will just feel bad. Feeling bad isn’t what Trivia is about either! :-) Have fun! :-)

  1. Artist/Song Title : And that’s one body that’ll be found / You see little sister don’t miss when she aims her gun. The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia.  NinaKaye got this one right!
  2. Movie : It’s one thing to want someone out of your life, but it’s another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid drainer.  Heathers.  Niki got this one right!
  3. Artist/Song Title : Say what you want to satisfy yourself / But you only want what everybody else says you should want
  4. Movie : A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others. The Wizard of Oz. Jen got this one right
  5. Artist/Song Title : Game point, nobody wins. Decline, right on time. / What happened to the dream sublime?
  6. Movie : Have you ever heard the expression “kissed by a muse”? Well, that’s what I am. I’m a muse.
  7. Artist/Song Title : People are fragile things, you should know by now / You’ll speak when you’re spoken to
  8. Movie : Your mother’s in here, Karras. Would you like to leave a message? I’ll see that she gets it.

Listen to the Empire.  Ego te provoco.  Save Net Radio

no trivia today

Sadly, there won’t be trivia today.  I have to take my laptop into the shop today, and I am sure as to when I will get it back.  I cross my fingers, and toes, that it’s by Thursday so I have some time to get my show ready for Saturday. All they need to do is fix the power port on the back, but with their track record, they do good work and take a long time.  So I’m keeping my fingers, and my toes, crossed that I get this monster back in time! :-) I certainly won’t have it back today though, so no trivia. It’ll be back on the 12th :-)

Please PLEASE don’t hesitate to make a request. You can make on the Thread in the ThatStationRadioLive forums that I set up, or you can post on the entry here on my blog. Either Way, I’d LOVE your request! Even if you don’t plan to listen to the show, never have listened to the show, and are really sick of hearing about the show, I want your request! :-)

Thanks for paying attention! :-)
