Recently, I just started this new column called "Head2Head Trivia," and so far, it's been a real eye-opener. I didn't realize how seriously some people took this stuff. Case in point... not ten minutes ago I read an email from someone who objected to my trivia question about Gilligan's first name (the answer, apparently incorrect, is Willie). This person proceeded to regale me with minute details about the fact that Gilligan NEVER had a first name used on the show and then, the coup de grace, he called me "Poopy Pants" Bradford. I am not even kidding. What I want to know is how this person has the time to sit down and write me an email for no other purpose than to call me... that. It's completely absurd. My second column appeared in the paper today, and I can't wait to see what other lunatics will be emailing me about Shakespeare. And for all you people who don't have access to the "Preview," here's a small taste...
1. Which play is thought to have a curse on it?
2. Who says the word "love" more... Romeo or Juliet?
3. What play has the shortest scene?
4. Which play is performed more than any other?
5. Keanu Reeves was in the film adaptation of which Shakespeare play?

I know Keanu was in 'Much Ado About Nothing'. I don't really feel like guessing on the rest.
Also, I'm sorry about the email regarding 'Gilligan's Island'. I take my Isle trivia quite seriously.
The answer to question one is "Macbeth" or "the Scottish play." Did you ever see the "Blackadder" episode about the actors and their fear of saying "Macbeth" outloud. It was a riot.
"Poopy Pants" HA HAA HA HAA What a maroon!
