The Skinny

DinnerTopics.com was created to fill that void of stuff you should already know but are afraid to admit that you don’t.  Ever get that fear that your future in-laws are going to start talking about politics or the latest movie or their trip to the Galapagos Islands and you are going to sound like a fool because you asked how they learned to speak French so quickly (Spanish is the main language in the Galapagos Islands)?  

That’s why we exist – so you can know the details ahead of time, even if it’s just the name of the latest Britney Spears song everyone is singing (don’t worry – there isn’t one right now).  Some of the entries might seem elementary to you, but we are trying to make sure everyone enters that cocktail party armed with the basics. 

Maybe you are a double major in mathematics and engineering but spend little time on sports.  You’re not exactly the type to visit ESPN.com, so DinnerTopics.com is the place for you!  We’ll tell you who is in the Super Bowl and a few quick facts you can remember without boring you. 

Maybe you are a music fanatic who can recall every song from every Hilary Duff album, but you’re not quite sure what job Hillary Clinton has right now.  DinnerTopics.com is the place for you!

Maybe you are 25 and well-versed in everything your generation has seen from politics to sports to entertainment, but you’re hanging out with the aunts and uncles tonight and with a new president in office, you know the conversation is going to head the way of JFK, Ike, and other people before your time.  DinnerTopics.com is the place for you!

Maybe you are 75 and consider yourself to be all-knowing, but when your grandkids start talking about iPhones and free Wi-Fi at Starbucks, you feel a little lost.  DinnerTopics.com is the place for you!

Whatever your age and whatever your situation, there’s likely some topic you just don’t know anything about.  DinnerTopics.com will fill that gap for you and keep you up-to-date on everything you SHOULD know.  Many entries will relate in some way to current news, since that’s what you’re likely to hear when the conversation starts flowing, but we will throw in plenty of information which will be useful for future reference or just to feed your trivia needs.

As the posts multiply, the search function on DinnerTopics.com should prove to be a valuable tool, giving you your answer in seconds.  We’re not trying to compete with Google, however, and the primary objective of this site is to create posts that arm you with information you need before you even knew you needed it.  Read on!
