QUIZ RECAP

Wed Aug 10 2016

I got to the perfect level of beer intake. One where I could legally drive home, but only if I stopped into McDonalds first. Chicken nuggets please. What kind of sauce? No sauce. No sauce? (The incredulity in his tone is insulting.) I pay, and he asks me again. Are you sure you don't want any sauce? Yes, Daniel, I am sure.

Listen, I'm not anti-sauce. But I can eat them all before I get home with no sauce. Who has time to fiddle with mini bbq tubs when driving? Sometimes I get bbq sauce just to avoid their judging sneers. I don't eat it. But I figured starving children in Africa probably don't eat McDonalds bbq sauce anyway.

Onto the recap! We had a nearly perfect game going tonight! Charlestown Chiefs (Yes, from Slapshot) doubled down every round (plus 10 points on "who am i?")... and got 8 out of 10 on round 7... 98 total points. I shit you not.

E=MC Hammer came in a strong second. 74 is usually good enough for a win. I chatted with Courtney for a while before the rest of the team arrived. She got a scholarship for water polo and being pretty darn smart me thinks. Manaiko strolled in late. She thought I didn't notice.

The Wallets of El Segundo were comfortably in third place, but then Chris complained and Tiffany showed me her boobs and got minus 12 points. Yes, apparently I said on the microphone "Wallets of El Segundo showed me their boobs and got minus 12 points"... "Great," Tiffany tells me, "Now everyone in the pub thinks my boobs are so terrible, they're worth -6 points each." Can you motorboat someone with an index finger? Yes.

In other news, Michael Phelps won 2 gold medals in the time it took me to eat 1 medium pizza.

The real fireworks began after round 3. Lemmy's Mole reported "definite" cheating by Harper's Harlots in the corner. I'd seen Harper's Harlots terrible answer sheets from the first few rounds, and had doubts about this alleged cheating.

So vocal were Lemmy's Mole that Harper's Harlots took to writing "We're not cheating" at the top of their answer sheets.

My favorite moment was when I walked over to the bathroom to see Lemmy's Moles pounding on the ladies room door screaming about how Harper's Harlots are looking up answers inside.

Trivia sure does bring out all the characters.

In other news, it's normal to have a new team come up to me and tell me (not ask, mind you) that my accent is fake, today we had a team called "My accent is fake" so I guess that counts.

All in all a successful night. Jana, Katelyn, and Bonnie all serving up good times.

That's a wrap!
