Okay, for those of you who play or might be interested in playing Tau Trivia, read on. For those who are not interested... you won't care about the rest of this entry... boo to you!
The current contest is on Christmas with a spattering of non-Christmas stuff. It's late for you to compete on the monthly tournament, but you can still play to get into the habit so that when next month starts you can get right into the game.
For added fun, the people who run the site allow you to obtain points (one for each right answer) and accumulate them to buy virtual (as in, NOT real) prizes to add to your profile! Pets, vehicles, trophies!
Upcoming Tournaments
JANUARY - Kids' Stuff! Questions on kids topics... not feeding and care (although that's not a bad idea for a future tournament): games, toys, songs... help me out with some suggestions on this.
FEBRUARY - Valentine's Day It's the month of love and romance and sex. So we'll put together something on those topics.
MARCH - Roman History and Mythology "Et Tau Brutus? Then pledge, Caesar!" Julius died on the Ides of March, so we'll see what we can do to commemorate ancient Rome!
APRIL - Greek Mythology. Our last Myths and Legends tournament had a dearth of Greek material... this time we've got nothing but!
MAY - Flowers, Plants, and similar types of growing stuff. April showers bring May flowers!
THE SUMMER OF MUSIC! - Since Wisconsin is the home of the world's largest music festival, and most people enjoy music of one sort or another, we're going to spend a few months on music!
JUNE - Classical Stuff! Okay, we're going to mix things up here a bit... classical music (Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, etc), classic rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zep, etc). If you have an idea of a band for me to search on, email me at plenz at the website's domain (thetasigmatau.org).
JULY - Popular music Stuff! Another mixture: popular stuff from the 60s (Beatles, Monkees, etc), more recent popular stuff, R&B, etc. My knowledge of current music is weak to say the least, so I absolutely need help on band names or other search terms to use.
AUGUST - Other worldly stuff! No, not that weird stuff that new age folks listen to. We're talking stuff from other parts of our world. This will include "both kinds of music: country AND western" (face it, folks, this stuff is from a different part of the world than the material in the previous two months), world music including Celtic, Irish, Indian, and anything else I can scrounge up. If you have an idea for some term/topic for me to search on, email me at plenz at the website's domain (thetasigmatau.org).
As noted in those last three... I will need help with the names of bands and other search terms! I know it's early to ask, but the more variety I get, the more fun things will be!
So, check out the Tau site page (http://alumni.thetasigmatau.org/findex.html) or go right to the tournament (http://www.funtrivia.com/private/main.cfm?tid=54171) and join the fun!
