Quiz bowl humor
Though I’m still trying to get a quiz bowl team started at Mercer (and wondering whether I’ll make it onto Jeopardy, for that matter), I still have fond memories of my high school academic team. And it turns out, there are some major quiz bowl geeks (and I use that term in the most positive sense possible!) out there on the Internet. Earlier today, for instance, I stumbled across K. Michael Wilcox’ quiz bowl page, which contains such odds and ends as unofficial quiz bowl terminology (I could’ve used quite a few of these terms myself!) and a packet of Warner Brothers animation-related quiz bowl questions (no, none of the answers involve “Bang! Zoom! Right in the kisser!”).
