Topic Title

[sodmeister]

Looking for some unusual names for rounds instead of the usual. The round topics are the common ones, geography, art & lit, science & nat, entertainment, music, etc.

Thoughts so far have been limited to things like "When the heck?" for history and "Where the heck?" for geography, "Cranial Crushers" for Lateral Thinking.

Any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.

Titles I have used in the past include:

Sport - Blood, sweat & gears
Quotations - Who said that?
Geography - Where on Earth?
History - 1066 and all that
Music - The food of love
Current affairs / news - Oh Boy (as in "I heard the news today, Oh Boy")
Connections - The think link (nicked off DLT!)

I was going to do a sport round starting with an Ashes question and finishing with an Arthur Ashe question using the title Ashes to Ashe

For history the obvious one would be to quote Henry Ford with Bunk

S T A T E would be a round about state capitals, not necessarily limited to US states. - Brazil, Austria, German, India and Australia all have states!

If you use a handwriting font for Word you would have the written word, i.e. literature and

Ars Gratia Artis means "Art of arts sake" so could be an at round. Being the motto of MGM they could assume films.

A picture of Grayson Perry (or another transvestite) would be a good clue for a TV round.

I hope that helps!
