Skeleton Trivia for Wednesday, 2025-08-13
My favorite living color is hooloovoo, a super-intelligent shade of blue
Hiya Skeleton Crew,
I’ve set up a li’l Bluesky account & an Instagram thing in case ya wanna engage with EXTREME TRIVIA ZONE CONTENT even beyond the confines of this here newsletter! There ain’t too many posts on those things ... yet!!! But in particular with the Instagram I think it might be fun for me to toss together some li’l photo-centric trivias that for whatever reason I didn’t think would work so well in the newsletter. As a bonus, if ya follow me, I’ll be sure to give ya a follow back!
Answers to Last Time
- That “Secret Speech” of ol’ Khruschev’s goes by the name “On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequence”—which, fun fact, is where the band Living Colour got the title for their biggest hit.
- If a Russian friend invites ya out to their dacha, they’re just askin ya to their summer house out in the country.
Today’s Trivias
Trivia 1
Mount Reid is an Antarctic mountain whose most remarkable thing about it is it’s mostly ice-free. I dunno how ya stay ice free down in the Holland Range, but Mount Reid has somehow done it. Good job, mountain!
Mount Reid also has somethin in common with (1) a certain presidential estate & (2) the lead singer of the band Living Colour. Now, what is it that the estate & the singer have in common ... that they DON’T share with Mount Reid?
Trivia 2
The band Living Colour shouldn’t be confused with the teevee show In Living Color, brainchild of Keenan Ivory Wayans. THAT Living Color was where I’d bet most folks first saw future A-listers like Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez, & what actor who’s one of only two fellas to’ve gotten TWO acting Oscar nominations in the SAME year for DIFFERENT movies? He’s also one of only five folks who’ve got an acting Oscar AND a Billboard #1 hit! Very impressive work, mystery person!!!
OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
