Vegetable Trivia Game: The Official Rules

(VTG can only be played on Twitter – go follow my Twitter feed ASAP, because we start playing at the end of this post.)

UPDATE: This is all null and void – I got bored of VTG really quickly. I still gave away the free book for the one round we did play.

The Rules of Vegetable Trivia Game:

1) I will post a piece of Vegetable Trivia whenever I feel like it.
2) You will reply.
3) The third person to make me laugh with their answer scores a point.
4) Whoever has the most points at the end of the week wins a free copy of my book, Prelude to a Super Airplane.

This is the tricky part – even if answer #2 makes me laugh more, you have to be the third person to make me laugh. Surely all kinds of alliances and strategies will form, right?

Here’s a sample question I ran this morning, while Twittering a pretty English girl:

In Die Hard, why didn’t Bruce Willis stop to eat vegetables in the middle of the movie?

I’m really excited for this, because it’s both book promo AND my special way I found to use Twitter. Like, it’s entertaining advertising.

I’ll keep a running tally of questions, points, and weekly winners in the tab at the top of the blog. You can, if you really want, leave answers in the comments of that page. (Some Twitter-based questions may get no laughs, right?)

Let’s start playing…now.

(Oh, my other use for Twitter is to ask Marvel Comics how their various characters would fare in a fight against a choo-choo train. So far, Iron Man would win, and they stopped answering me at Daredevil.)
