Embarrassing Answers/powers
These are lots of fun. Basically, what early buzzes have you given that show you know way too much about something.
One of mine was at UM-Rolla's spring tournament:
Reader: This group was founded by Carmen Electra [buzz]
Me: Pussycat Dolls
Reader: Yes, or just PCD.
Another: Her new boyfriend is an Australian surfer named Blaine [buzz]
Me: Barbie
My coach was reading that match and he gave me the look like "you're off the team for knowing that"

Actually that's literally the only thing I know about the Pussycat Dolls.charlieDfromNKC wrote:This group was founded by Carmen Electra [buzz]
Also, don't forget last year's question at NAQT Nationals about Snakes on a Plane. I'm sure I wasn't the only person who demonstrated way too much knowledge about that topic.

Personally, I've managed to thirty bonuses singlehandedly on naming all the Golden Girls and their former husbands, My Super Sweet Sixteen, and Stacked. As far as tossups go, yesterday at practice I got The Abyss off of "The Humane Society protested a scene where a rat was held underwater" and answered a Terrell Owens question off of, "He played a number of sports at UT Chattanooga and got drafted..."

Embarassing Answers/Powers
I think I brought this up in an earlier thread, but it bears repeating, as it was embarassing.
"This actress turned singer was born on September 28, 1987..."

"Hilary Duff?"

I know what you mean... I think I have hit every Martin Luther question (tournament or practice) this year in the first sentence.I've officially been a Lutheran for too long...I recognized the 95 Theses between the 2nd and 3rd sentences of it (not sure where they fall in the actual document). I've never actually read the Theses.
