RBF Trivia Test Time!

Filed under: General — beverly at 12:33 pm on Tuesday, October 4, 2005

Beware, I’m in a strange, strange mood. I’ve been tweaking exams, as my new class starts tonight. My friends say that my eyes dance when I’m creating new exams and assignments for my students. It’s not about torture really, it’s about really, really, REALLY wanting to prepare these people for the workforce. Really. :)

So, in the spirit of this wonky mood, I’ve created my first

RBF Weekly Trivia Test

Here’s your exam. Post your answers in the comments section. Maybe the first person will all of the correct answers will get a prize. Maybe I’ll sing. Maybe, as a prize, I won’t. Truly, I’m really making it up as I go along. Play along! Let’s just have fun with it! Next week, I’ll toughen up and include some new (to me) blogs….

Ready? Got your HB?

Here’s your exam, and this week, to ease you in, it’s all ….

True or False?

1. At least two RBFers have posted pictures to the Fourth Annual Blogger Boobiethon.

2. Jeff is not only an amazing runner, but man, can he bowl. Holy Dinah.

3. The first person to host the Rundown was Derek Rose.

4. The just-had-a-baby-Mia is shrinking quickly withJenny Cr8aig and a whole lotta exercise… losing 10.6 lbs so far. (Yay, Mia!)

5. Heather is up-to-her-ears busy with Rottweiler pups, so she hasn’t had time to run with Linda lately.

6. Bloggers all across the RBF teared up at Brent’s marathon report.

7. Brent is really cute and should have no problem finding hot girls. (Was that my outside voice?)

8. Susan and Bill are old childhood friends.

9.Lara ran her very first 5k in almost the exact same time as me. (And that gives me great hope!)

10. Jon personally responds to every single person that posts on his blog.

11. And then if your name starts with B., and you live in Canada, and you’re all stressed about your kids, he FedEx’s you truffles. All the time. Because he’s like that.

12. Jack, David, and Warren discovered through the RBF that they attended the same college and are now planning to get-together: “Reunion Race 2006″. (Can’t wait for that post!)

13. Chris Brogan has a publishing deal lined up for his first book, entitled, “Dig In and Push.” (Yay, Chris!)

14. Mark’s running hero is Steve Prefontaine, who said, “A runner must run with dreams in his heart.”

15. Dawn likes to wear pink and dance up rolling hills on her trail runs.

Looks like I agree with all David’s (guessing at a few also!) but #4 is technically False, as I have never stepped foot into a jenny cr@ig! You are so funny, this was too cute!

What a truly great post. Did Jon really Fed-Ex you truffles? Sweet! And they’re bulldog and greyhound puppies (that I do know).

What a great idea, I had fun looking up a couple of those. I have a perfect idea for a “Reunion Race 2006″ – the Munich Marathon the second weekend of October. But everyone show up a week early to carbo-load at the Oktoberfest!

Great test, but I’m reading this on lunch and don’t think at lunch time. :-)

Jon you’re too funny. Come to Canada and you can see me dance up and down hills in person. Of course that invite is open to all. July 2006, Calgary RBF gathering.
