QUIZ RECAP

Wed Aug 24 2016

So apparently there are not 1, not 2, but 3 Lorelei Gilmores on Gilmore Girls. After rephrasing the question 2 or 3 times, we decided on "Name the Actress who played the Lorelei Gilmore who is approximately 40 years old".... I say "we" because all the losers who know so much about Gilmore Girls knew exactly which Lorelei Gilmore I was asking about after the first question, but kept making me clarify.

Also, it turns out that several teams at OB's actually read these posts that I write. Feedback has included "It's weird" "You're creepy" and "I like chicken nuggets too."

This is precisely the fine line I'm attempting to traverse.

So what happened at trivia tonight? Well Rachel and Megan showed up late because they were at "pilates" class. I believe both of them were also drunk. But the Greens and the Grants were in full swing. And maybe, just maybe, I had a 60 year old man show me his nipples. He is also from Iowa, so was very certain about the "corn" question. Year of the Rat crushed everyone tonight. Lisa and Michelle and Dad were in tonight. Once Lisa stormed out and didn't come back for 3 weeks because I asked a question about Disneyland rides and she disagreed with the very specific source of information that I was quoting. It was hilarious. Also, last week Sean asked if I would accept the answer "boner"... it doesn't even matter what the question is, the answer is yes. Sean also went to Oxford and has a Phd.

It's hammer time:

Courtney! Sheepishly answering my questions about how lame lawyers are, never once mentioning that she has read my horrendous trivia recaps where I talk about her playing water polo. Side bar: I watched women's water polo at the Olympics, and those people are terrifying.  Courtney is going to New York next week and I will miss her. But fear not! The hammers will roll on! Maynaykyo has informed me that there are no a's or y's or u's in her name. I'm calling this bluff. Munuku went to school with Disneyland Lisa, who is married to Boner Sean, whose dad showed me his nipples. They're not even on the same teams. Boom-- 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon if I've ever seen it.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Sabeen (Arabic, not German) assures me that they will be here next week, even though they will be terrible. Unclear whether or not her and Andre are dating, but we all think they might be. Wouldn't it be awkward if I wrote that on a post knowing both of them were going to read it?

Wallets of El Segundo in third place?! Aaaaaand Kitty Kat and Shannon showed up too? It's like the 4th of July and Thanksgiving in one. However, I celebrate neither of those holidays. Shannon has been MIA from trivia due to a dodgeball related pinky finger injury (I couldn't make that up if I tried)... and Kitty Kat has blamed "summer" for her absence.

After round 3 I was handed a folded up napkin that I hoped was a treasure map, but it wasn't. It simply said "The college kids in the corner are cheating"...

The college kids then turned in their answer sheet for the round and asked me, "Do those old people think we're cheating? Because we're not, we're just playing Pokemon GO"

Grown ups playing trivia are funny.

Jesse Can't Wait in da house. Someone's gotta come 4th place. Womp womp.

Plan B back from the dead! Although might be a while until we see them again. They were truly miserable handing in their truly miserable answer sheets round after round. I would make a music round just for them, but their attendance is too fickle. Say what you want about Stir Fry guy, but he gives me the least amount of grief out of all of them. I regularly get booed, but Plan B are one of only three teams to actively give me the middle finger throughout the evening.

Hmmm... I suppose that's all I remember from this glorious night of trivia madness. As always, I hope I've made you all feel very uncomfortable.

See you next week!
