JUNE 30TH 20008

This monthly event starts next monday and yours truly has been invited to join a team (nothing special seen as it is only a notch or 2 aboove a pub quiz). So our team now has the required 5 and i am getting excited - i have started memorising stuff from the oscars - mine is best picture from 28 upwards and i have managed to memorise up to 1939 (yes crap, but not as easy as it sounds; especially since i have never been interested in the oscars)

i think if the quiz goes on i shall memorise all 80 for actor, actress, director and picture, as well as palm d'or etc etc

anyone close enough to give it a shot?

so....................does anyone have any obscure trivia for a bit of fun!!!!!!????

heres one - Q. Tarrantino appeared as an Elvis impersonator in an episode of the Golden Girls

just for fun but any tips etc will help

Or did Brando take the award but sent a native American to accept it for him?
