9. It's not really a sport; I was sorta joking.
This is an organized game that happens in pubs and bars, usually the same time each week. Someone who works there is the 'quezmaster', and anyone who wants to play can do so. Sets of trivia questions are asked over the entire room, and teams usually respond by answering the questions on paper slips which are turned in. The standings are announced at the end of each round, and it gets quite competitive.

My team was on a long winning streak, and we were roundly booed at the end of the game. Of course, we were delighted, and all stood, bowed, and gave the 'royal' hand wave.

It's a lot of fun. Look around Charlotte, you should find one somewhere.

12. Contrary to popular belief
Golf is for Dems and Greens too! It is the hardest thing I've ever done and it is also the BEST sport activity to participate in because, unlike other sports, Golf is all about you. You can't blame a bad shot on anyone else. It takes almost a Zen-like focus, and it feels great when you actually hit it correctly. Which, by the way is just about enough to keep you comming back.
