QUIZ RECAP
Following a spooky holiday, teams played a spooky drinking round wherein they attempted to name as many films featuring The Merchant of Menace, Vincent Price. The General Washingtons were victorious in this task, more than doubling the closest competition.
Fun fact: Michael Caine’s real name is Maurice Micklewhite. Fun!
(My real name is Michael Miller.)

QUIZ RECAP
In 1991, Eddie Murray threw me a baseball that he had just been throwing around before the game. This is one of at least three mildly interesting Dodgers stories I have.
A far more interesting story though, has to do with the Drinking Round this week, wherein teams were tasked with proving the oft-bandied assertion that the American electorate is for some reason more knowledgeable about government now than ever in recent memory. The metric for such a sounding: number of current US Senators named.
And indeed, all teams impressed with their knowledge, but none more than The Tragically Hip Replacements, whose 27 statesmen and women won them the right to drink a round of refreshments without money exchanging hands. Not only that, but I noticed one of their number, perhaps inspired to create by Bacchus' charge, as he was placing the finishing touches on a sketch that I noticed bore more than a passing resemblance to your humble Quizmaster. Perhaps it isn't meant to be a flattering representation, but I care not because...it's me! <wipes away tear>

QUIZ RECAP
In this latest edition of Tuesday Trivia at the Tam© (served with a side of Dodgers baseball) there was second place tie in the end - won by Baby Farting Part 3 for knowing perhaps too much about Applebee's - that ended things with a bang, and a Drinking Round won by Passive After-work) for superior knowledge of the Lakers all-time roster.
All that, and there will maybe even be a better recap for you to read once I get some sleep! I went to Disneyland this week, I'm still crazy on happy/sugar energy, sensory overstimulation, and legs that will need to be replaced. Like this text. Maybe. Stream of consciousness does sometimes has it's charm...
Anyway, if you don't believe me then check out the above photographic proof, wherein I demonstrate my ability to ride Splash Mountain in a confident, yet playfully skeptical manner.
