Santa is coming soon, and if you’ve been bad, he’s is supposed to bring you coal.
Of course, coal is getting more and more un-PC. So Santa is looking for suggestions on what to give naughty kids instead of coal.
Dozens of pieces of Lego superglued to the floor of their room.
Socks that always feel wet.
The empty package of the gift they asked for.
Anything that would be a suitable thing for Santa to bring to naughty children will get a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.

A Dutch woman on one team kindly helped us with the pronunciation of a Dutch word. But when we tried to repay the favour by asking a bonus question about the Dutch Prime Minister right next to her, she wasn’t paying attention and allowed one of her work colleagues to steal the point LITERALLY from under her nose.
See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
We played a clip from Kill Bill and one player insisted it was Babe: Pig in the City. That would have been a VERY different film.
On a math question involving children born on Modern Family, one team not only picked the correct number of children for each character we asked for, they named each individual child.
When we asked a question about red cars, one of our teams boldly proclaimed that “only bellends drive red cars”, not knowing that their host had driven a red car to trivia that night.
And when they found out that the special subject for their show was “submarines”, one team printed off the entire Wikipedia article on submarines.
All that reading, and it didn’t help them with a single question we asked.
