Um, let’s follow that last really serious, pissed off, emotional post, with its polar opposite - a post about trivia.
Come on people. I can’t be pissed off ALL the time.
Anyway…
So! While the Hispanics [insert topical reference of the week here] were being lame-o slackers, my team and I took first place last night, as per usual. (Hoover and the rest of ‘em were pretty happy about the two free pitchers of beer, too.) Our team name this week was an extremely obscure reference, that really only Josh and I got - and really, we should’ve used it last week, as it was vaguely connected to Jen’s pseudo trash talk here - One Night in the Olsen Twins.
We dominated for most of the game, aside from a three-way tie for second place at the end of the 2nd quarter. The questions last night seemed to be of two varieties - ones that we knew without a doubt, and ones that we had no clue on but tried to make somewhat educated guesses. Niki, you will be proud - one question was, “What author has sold more books in pre-orders than any other?” (it was worded better than that). I won’t insult you by saying the answer.
The carry-over question was the Hardee’s Monster Thickburger one. A little dig there.
At the end of the 3rd quarter were were up by 8, with a total of 69 points. I was surprised at the restraint we all exercised with the gratuitous “sixty-niiiiine!” shouting (or lack thereof, then).
That Weird Guy was in rare form - fraternizing with the Douche Wranglers, a new team of regulars that started showing up about 3 weeks ago. I observed him standing by their table, appearing very animated in his speech and occasionally jerking a thumb toward the bar (where we hold forth).
The Douche Wranglers came in third, and a guy from their team did some awesome celebratory breakdancing. The Bus Huggers could not defend their title from last week - I believe they placed second. My Bitches Were Late were conspicuously absent. As usual, Seat of Our Pants did not place.
Surprise of the night: Earth is the most dense planet in the solar system.
Dammit! moment: Leprosy is accepted as the oldest recorded disease, not syphilis. It’s in the Bible, duh!
Worst question of the night: Was Ru-Paul born a man or a woman? Give me a freaking break.

Don’t worry. The Olsen Twins will be our bitches next week.
Hmm… if only we could think of a clever way to tie in our team name with another… The Olsen Twins Will Be Our Bitches Who Are Late, or something like that… I better try to think of something good.
I knew the leprosy one, actually. Where did I learn? Team Trivia at Smith’s Olde, about three years ago.
And who in Atlanta doesn’t know that Rupaul is a freakin’ drag queen?
Syphilis has only been around since the middle ages, anyway.
That’s not true.. wasn’t there a theory floating around that some Egyptian pharaoh or Roman emperor had syphillis and that’s why he was crazy?
