QUIZ RECAP

According to the word on the street, Manhattan Beach had its annual christmas tree lighting ceremony this evening. How very un-politically correct of them to endorse Christmas so brazenly. Another word on the street informs me that this wealthy neck of the woods skews republican--and so naturally disdain political correctness in favour of peace and quiet and inadvertent racism.

Upon further information, I can tell you that this "tree" is in fact no more than several strings of lights meeting at a point. A wry Thanksgiving nod to the Native teepee, one suspects.

Its true meaning is undoubtedly more politically correct than anyone anticipated: a shiny cone reminding us to spend all our money.

And what better place to spend our money than OB's pub and grill on Wednesday nights! It is, of course, trivia night!

At the table in the corner are the lovely ethnically-ambiguous ladies of E=MC Hammer! (and Andre--FYI: not the giant or the otter)... When not answering questions, they spend their time bribing me with tater tots to tell them which sexy trivia studs are single... and then getting wasted. But hey, if you like violent Mexicans, Slytherin Indians, or people whose name might be Marigold who loves chicken nuggets, you are in luck! I have all their phone numbers. (except Andre the giant otter, but he will give it to you for some good weed).

Jesse Can't Wait were hot off the grill from their stunning first place victory last week. But for a team who so frequently finish in 12th place, they were surprisingly disheartened with their third place finish. I did get a commiseration jello shot though, so it wasn't all bad! Happy birthday Amy! I hope your birthday was 79% as good as all the men at your table. hashtag winkyface hashtag boobs.

Go Fox Yourself keepin it large and in charge with all the Ians and Alexs one's heart could ask for. There may even have been a Tyler! Sometimes they joke about being from Cleveland. An unforgivable offense.

Wallets of El Segundo ain't got no time fo no stinkin Christmas tree. Not when we got a quiz full of questions about the electron rate of sodium. Chris was not grumpy today, because he was off with his real friends, not playing trivia, and presumably, squeezing each other's man butts. Gonna miss y'all next week!

Rounded out with a little Beaver Cheeks and Other Playmates action and you've got yourself a damn good quiz.

Thanksgiving is coming and my favourite love songs radio station will soon be switching to lame Christmas music.

Peace out trouts

QUIZ RECAP

Zoinks! It's trivia day today, and last week's recap hasn't been submitted!

I moved apartments this week. No internet. That's my excuse.

Here is a slightly sad kitten.

QUIZ RECAP

Soooo yeah, baseball was on. Game 7 World Series. It was busy with "fans"... I say "fans" because no one actually cared that much about the game. One table got in a heated discussion about Trump vs Hillary and we put Andre in the way just in case it came to blows.

A couple teams nearly left, but persevered. After all, Sabeen didn't need to wake up until 7:59am. It's possible that the game never ended. I'm fairly certain they are still it playing now.

Did a super rushed version of trivia for the 7 teams that stuck around long enough. Ain't nobody got time fo chili cheese fries at 10:30pm

The good news was that Jesse Can't Wait finally showed up. The bad news is they got so drunk during the game that they heckled me mercilessly throughout the evening. The other good news is that Amy wore a cleavage shirt and got bonus points, and they somehow ended up coming in second place. It's Amy's birthday in 2 weeks, we will celebrate next week with a music round.

Mineko called in sick for trivia, but E=MC Hammer still managed to defeat their foes. Courtney told me a story about how she used to rip girls' arms out of their sockets when she played collegiate sports. She's quietly terrifying. You should have seen the look of dread on her ex-boyfriend's face when he walked in. He definitely knew his arm sockets were in danger. Also, Mineko does not like getting punched in the face.

Wallets of el segundo staked out the bar early to get a miniature table for the game. Shannon finally showed up. Woop woop. Chris threatened to leave early for the entire game, but resigned himself to the fact that he loves trivia. Side note: I'm pretty sure he hates trivia and inflicts it upon himself as some sort of sadomasochistic punishment. And Kitty Kat was in the house too, undressing me with her eyes (or so I tell myself)

Quiztopher Walken had a strong showing, but neglected to turn in their King Trivia pen, and lost out on the prizes.
