StoneMtn Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 A friend of mine has to create a 1980s theme party for her work. They're making her do everything with few resources, so I'm trying to help her out a bit.One thing she needs to do, is put together a list of 1980s trivia questions. They have to be really easy though, because a lot of the pople she works with are not the brightest.I am asking for help from the Skancs. Please come up with some EASY 1980s trivia questions and answers and post them here. I would like them to be of varied topics; not just music.Can you help me?

StoneMtn Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Good stuff! Those links are gold, and Jaimoe's question is of exactly the calibre of easy question we need, but I would say that Jaimoe's question is about as difficult a question as we will want. Easier is better.Keep 'em comin'! ... and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I think it was Scum, because that episode is from their first year. The Who tragedy was in 1979, as was the episdode. One of the best comic episodes to deal with a real tragedy that I've watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
