[Foosball God]

It's time for trivia!  I will post a trivia question, the first person that responds correctly will get 100 points and can choose the next category.  First person to 1000 points wins.  If there is enough interest we might have additional games and a face off of winners.

Available trivia categories are:

Sports
Science

Movie
Music
Christmas
Food & Drink
TV

I will start things off with a randomly selected question.  Are you ready for trivia time?
