A sample conversation from a typical non-triv day in the Triv Room
I'm not going to wax lyrical about triv and the triviads. Suffice it to say that a growing group of friends met regularly in the user-created Triv room in what used to be the General area of Yahoo! Chat. Four years later, we still keep in touch, although on a messageboard rather than in chat (yes - messageboards ARE chat for old people!) The fruit of this group? IRL (in real life) and online strong friendships, several long-term relationships and one marriage.
Returning triviads? We have a messageboard now!
Email maresid at maresid@hotmail.com for an invitation.
We have lost one of our members. Catshadow died in December 2000. Married to another of our triviad friends, Realoldbob, and much loved by many others, she continues to be sorely missed.

I note with great concern that NYTom has ACTUAL TRIVIA on his page...with questions and ANSWERS, even!
Okay, now, Tom....get real will you? How am I supposed to compete with that? I NEVER know the frikkin answers! So that means the only kind of triv q I could put in here would be one that actually had no answer...you know those "eternal questions"...like "which came first, the chicken or the egg"? Well I noticed a couple of those appearing in triv (unfortunately I can't remember who said what...please forgive me for no credits), and I've pinched some of those and sat down with my sister (Gjenny) and worked out the rest (some of them are yours, Stu).
Here goes:
- Why are they called "freeways" if you have to pay tolls?
- Why do you drive on a "parkway" and park on a "driveway"?
- Why do you wear a PAIR of panties, but only one bra?
- Why are they called "buildings" when they have already been built?
- How old do you have to be to die of old age?
- Where do Swiss people keep their hidden funds?
- If we were all blind, what would the world look like?
- What kind of company cars do bus-drivers get?
- How do snowplough drivers get to work?
- how many triviads are needed to make up a yahoo triv room quorum?
Why do you say something is "underwater" when it is actually in the water? (Emandeus)
When does one become a triv regular? (Caratacus)
If a man says something in the woods, and there's no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong??(Brandybuck) lmaooooo
Lots and lots more of these thanks to DasBootCapt
Any more ideas for Qs? E-mail me at africamuse@yahoo.com
Some messages:
These messages are OLD. Most of them date to 1998 or 1999. But, you know what? I like having them here, they bring back memories. So, here goes....
(Okay, to be honest ... one or two of them? For the life of me I cannot remember what they are about! Toe thing? What toe thing???)
Mirabile_Visu: Great to hear that everything is going well :)Txyankee: There ya go :)
Tuesi: Nice to have you back in triv...still thinking of Jackson.
Sedro: My closest neighbour, metaphorically speaking.....you know that I have never actually been to Mozambique?
Phyl: Phyl you are just going to HAVE to spend even MORE time in the room, I am not nearly as good at directing people to the appropriate rooms as you are, lol (....down the hall, first door on the left....)
Seoulful_Eyes: Congratulations on the move!
Squirmy Squid: I hate it when the triviads disappear! Come back squiggly
Shadowkitten: I've been waiting and waiting and waiting to see if the wooden horse is in your inventory....where are you?
Crissypooh: Sorry about the toe thing, lol....you kinda had to be there from the start, and even then it wasn't all that funny, hehehe. Just a strange mood, I guess.
Zhigulii: I've finally done it. After months of threats I have bought the frikkin dictionary...lol no more secrets now!
BluRaine: Hehehehe, if it wasn't for my etymology page, I would never have known that you were PKMF...wow, do I feel stupid!
Edison_carter: It was great talking to you on the phone...seems this year is my year for travelling, so I will have to stop giving you such a hard time about all the travelling you do
Spunky_the_dog & Catt_eyes: Stop whinging about the frikkin horses already! It is not my fault if you don't know how to look after finely crafted works of art, lol.....I mean REALLY, Spunky, firewood?????....and yes, I do provide spare parts, but it could take a while and I must warn you that it is rather expensive (hey, a girl has to figure out SOME way of paying her frikkin phone bill!)
Excalibur: HEY! careful with those snapmares, you may injure someone
Catshadow: Sheeeesh......all this flabbling is making my eyelids tired
Arthur_Fuxache:Thanks for volunteering so readily...got it to work, yay, even shortened downloading time thanks to Arch
Archroy: And thank YOU for condensing the wav! HEY! Why aren't you wearing the socks, you ingrate ?!?!?!?
Jazzbank: I lie awake at nights worrying about you running out of tildes....so I decided to keep a stock of them here for you, which will be replenished every day :)

THE REAL (NOT OFFICIAL) TRIV ROOM REGS:
No more triv links....there just got to be too many! Now you can find triviads' pages through The Official Unofficial Triviaworld Webring (at the bottom of this page), or through my triviads' name origins pages (links below).
NAMES AND BUGS AND THINGS!
Enter here for an explanation of the origins of the triviads' handles...in their OWN words, nogal!
Have you noticed how your triv handle actually becomes a part of your identity? Or am I the only one pathetic enough to actually think of myself as africamuse? (Hey come to think of it, I'd be a bit concerned if any of you thought of yourselves as africamuse, lol)A - M
N - Z
Visit the owner of the other half of this friendship heart :)
