WEEKLY TUESDAY TRIVIA QUESTION FOR 12/30/08

WEEKLY TUESDAY TRIVIA QUESTION

valerie osterhoudt

This is the last Tuesday trivia question for 2008. No need to be sad.. I'll be continuing this into 2009. With New Year's Eve being tomorrow, I thought this weeks trivia question should deal with this holiday.. Are you ready? Here is your final question for the year 2008.

What was the drink we know as the Bloody Mary originally called.. and where did it originate?

Once again, please try to answer(s) this question without using the internet. If you should, don't ruin the fun for others. Just take a guess, and I'll follow-up with the answer on Friday.

REMEMBER IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO OUT AND DRINK.. HAVE A DESIGNATED DRIVER.. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. MAY EVERY MEMBER HERE HAVE A HAPPY, SAFE NEW YEAR'S EVE.

DEC

This is a great question and I'm not going to play. I do know the answer because it was recently a trivia questions at a local bar where I visit occasionally and play trivia and I want to see what answers might show up.

I hope you also have a happy and safe new year Valerie! And a very proporous 2009!

OK...but this is just a shot at it, as I really do not know where it originated...I am going to guess as the name implies some kind of horror....Bloody..sounds english so my guess is it originated from a english horror flick. Now I will go google it and will be back to read what others say!

Happy Holidays!
Shawn

Tammy.. That's too bad about this trivia question. I wish you would want to play. Hopefully you will check this out again next week on Tuesday.. there will be another one.. which hopefully you won't know the answer without thinking about it for a moment or two.

Happy New Year Tammy... and may we ALL have a PROSPEROUS 2009.

Hi Valerie. I don't like Bloody Mary's...but I will take a guess:

My guess is that they originated in England.

As far as the name...... I have no idea - but I will guess: 'Spicey Nicey' haha

Val, I think the drink was named after the queen..and therefore the Bloody- as in a London Slang what it was prior I don't know we used to call it breakfast in College..but that was many years ago many..many brain cells ago. New Years Morning, breakfast of champions? Good luck everyone..no clue unless I cheat and I never cheat.

Shawn... You gave me a guess on the origination, but not what the Original name for the Bloody Mary was... want to take a stab at that?

valerie osterhoudt

Kara.. I can always rely on you for making me laugh.. Thank you. I like the name.. You have a great imagination... Friday you'll find out if you are right.

valerie osterhoudt

Steve.. Both you and Kara have a great imagination for naming drinks.. So, you think it originated in England too. Ok, on Friday we'll see if you are right.

valerie osterhoudt

Ok. Val you want a guess.. the last queen to die (bloody) with out an heir (virgin) was in 1609, so my off the wall shot is the drink was a blood virgin..until queen Mary Was Crowned..then they added Alcohol to the drink and renamed it a Bloody Mary..?I'm probably wrong but it's a logical conclusion right?

Steve..This is very logical thinking.. I would probably guess the same thing.. if I didn't already know the answer.. Hmm, now I wonder.. are you right, or are you wrong? We'll have to see on Friday.

valerie osterhoudt

Sure...again I don't have a clue....but I would guess it could also be called a toxic tomato!

How did I do? lol

Shawn.. Great try.. I'm not letting anyone in on the answer until Friday. Can you wait until then?

I'f you don't want to miss next weeks' trivia.. you might want to subscribe to "My Blog".. If you do..thanks in advance.

In ort Myers Beach they call it communion. Long story, but some of you may know where I'm talkin' about!

Valerie, I don't have a clue. Mary fell, spilled a red drink on herself, someone walked in and said OMG, it's Bloody Mary! :) Happy New Year!

DEC

Hi Valerie:

Originated here in the US is my guess...

And I'll take an easy guess, Tomato Cocktail?

ToulaRosebrock.com

Dee.. As you probably guessed I am not from Fort Myers Beach.. I've never heard of that at all.. and I used to be a bartender.. A LONG TIME AGO.

VALERIE OSTERHOUDT

Jen... I like your analogy.. I'm still LMAO. I could see that happen. Any idea where this drink originated?

valerie osterhoudt

Toula.. You are the first one to say that the drink originated in this country.. bold move! Have a very Happy New Years Eve... and I'll let you know on Friday what the answer is.

valerie osterhoudt

Valerie I am not a drinker so I am not up on this catagory, but I bet my brother-in-law would know.

George.. For once I've stumped you??? Oh My!! If you don't want to guess, yes, you can ask your brother-in-law.

JAN

Valerie - I have no idea, but I'll guess that it was the original V8 juice...just kidding! :)

Debi.. HHmmmm. V8 juice.. now that you mention that, I could go for some. Thank goodness the grocery store is right around the corner.

I'll let you know what the answer is in a few hours. This way if anyone else wishes to partake they still have time... Plus I can now go to the store. LOL

valerie osterhoudt

Okay Valerie- It's late in the game... so I'm going to tell.. I said I knew because it was in a local hang out where it's actually on the seafood menu... as "Bloody Snapper and Chips" and was part of a Thursday night trivia recently. It's red snapper.

I can't wait until next Tuesday!?!?! to see what you come up with. Have a great weekend.

Tammy.. Are you sure about your answer??? I haven't released the answer yet. I plan on doing so in about 2 hours. Do you know where this drink originated? That was part two of the question.

valerie osterhoudt

Oh dang it, my teachers tried and tried to teach me not to answer the question before I read the whole thing. And I was out having a fantastic dinner date with my sweet husband and missed your "hello, where's the second part". Oh well, I'll have to pay more attention next Tuesday.

JAN
