Yesterday, Julie accused me of never having seen The Sound of Music. I took immediate offense, and challenged her to a Sound of Music trivia throwdown. These were the questions we asked each other (entirely without the web, I might add):

  1. What was the name of the Captain’s new lover?
  2. What was the name of the eldest daughter’s beau?
  3. What’s the betraying beau’s job?
  4. What were the names of all the kids?
  5. Where did the family escape to at the end of the film?
  6. What were the children’s play clothes made out of?
  7. What animal was featured in the puppet show the children created?

We came out about even. How’d you do?

Incidentally, the title of this post comes from a line from the duet “Sixteen Going on Seventeen”. The whole line goes:

Oh crap. I just searched for the original line, and found my own post from four years ago. I was going to write about the very same thing–the interesting etymology of the term ‘roué’. Clearly I have been blogging too long.
