You jogged my memory on a few, particularly when I blanked on Christopher Lee's name!
At my regular trivia night, I'm the scribe, so its automatic that I write the answer down instantly (sometimes before the question is finished I'll admit), and if anyone disagrees we debate it, and edit answers where neccessary (its also sometimes just me, so I can forget that I have teammates )
This is going to get a bit meta-cognitive for a joke build thread, but while the way my brain makes random connections and synthesises seemingly disparate information sources into a useable gestalt is great for trivia nights, and for passing exams without really studying... its irritaring/frustrating in social settings (as anyone I've ever trooped with will attest!) - for myself included!
If I start spooling up to my full "stream of consciousness" mode and you aren't interested in the conversation - please politely shut me down, I don't take it personally, sometimes I just need the outside perspective.
