I would like someone with unlimited resources to make this happen.

Apr 22, 2008

We were playing trivia here at work. And I said a “fun” trivia challenge is to name the vice-presidential candidate on the losing side of the last 10 elections. So we tried that and got to Dan Quayle and laughed about the millions of amazingly dumb things he would say. Then we remembered that our current president also famously says dumb things. So now: I want a video of our current President playing Dan Quayle in Simon.

Is that really that funny, my co-worker asked? It’s worth a blog, I replied.

Sounds like a sporcle game.

My dad can name not only all the first ladies in order, but all the second ladies, too (the vice presidents’ wives, that is).

I think Kevin and I are perfect Simon partners.
