I'm in Alpine C, typically finishing in the top half of the league and feeling good about that, but I feel like I'd need to do a lot more studying than I want to do to climb into B.

I'm in A Atlantic, moved up to solid middle-of-the-pack finisher from where I started which was very much drowning in the border of the relegation zone for a few seasons because oof A is no joke. One of my trivia goals for 2023 is to qualify for the championship at some point this season.

If you think you're gonna get sympathy from the shark, well then, you won't.


The pound has been a unit of mass since 1959, when it was redefined as 0.45359237 kilograms.

I correctly guessed Adonis, but I was also at home eating a rotisserie chicken and a surprisingly tasty kale salad.

That wasn't even the worst one for me. I had audible reactions to two others.

In Reunion Shows: A 2022 reunion of the Salt Lake City cast of this reality franchise...

"What is The Real Housewives?"

"Yes, The Real House wives of Salt Lake City."

Then in Double Single Jeopardy.

In Palindromes in Pop Culture: Surname of the actor...

"Who is Renner?"

"Yes, Jeremy Renner."


Just...why?
