The 13th Zodiac Sign

At The Old Job, it had become a Thursday morning tradition for me to ask the previous night’s trivia questions to Ryan and Sam, usually over a Chick-Fil-A breakfast. Now, of course, the three of us are at three separate jobs; and while IMing them trivia questions isn’t nearly the same, it’s our attempt to recapture some of the magic of those halcyon days.

Here’s an outtake for you from earlier today:

Me: gemini and libra are 2 of the 3 air signs in the zodiac. what’s the third?

Sam: vertigo?

Me: that isn’t even a sign

Sam: what?

Me: you mean VIRGO? vertigo is being dizzy

Sam: gah, yeah, sorry

Me: it’s not the answer anyway

Sam: i lost my head for a sec

And in case you were wondering, no, the Olsen Twins did not win - or place at all, for that matter - last night. Damn you, Grinch song lyrics!

Update: Sam wants me to take this post down, because he claims it makes him “look like a dumbass.” I told him not to worry about it, because we’ve all had our share of dumbass-looking moments - [insert preferred deity here] knows I have. But as a friend, I should let you all know that Sam is actually a very intelligent and well-spoken person. And without him, y’all’dn’t've been able to see me descend into the world of booooze.

    Goddamn 39½ foot poles… Now the Grinch knows how I feel; people always underestimate mine by about 12 inches too.

    if by “descend” you actually mean “ascend” then yes.
