A dingo stole my baby!

Pandemonium! That's what it was like this week at Barney's Beanery in Westwood during our weekly trivia-based soirée! And while Waboom Girls were lowering the boom on their competition to win the night and I Wouldn't Hold Trump's Hand, Either! was earning special props for both their 2nd place finish and having the best team name of the night, one young woman announced with great earnestness that a dingo had stolen her baby.

While Section 7/8 was earning distinction with what would turn out to be a strong third place finish, the woman in question was displaying what appeared to be Section 8 behavior by again arriving at the quizmaster command center, presenting her answer sheet, and  announcing, "A dingo stole my baby!"

She put special emphasis on the "dingo" part this time, I noticed. As in: A DINGO stole my baby! In a bad accent. Did I mention the bad accent? Australian, I think. But...bad.

So, by the fifth round, when she again arrived, answer sheet in hand, I felt compelled to jump in and say, "Don't tell me...a dingo stole your baby, right!?"

And she laughed, and said, "well, no. I don't have a baby, and I'm not sure what a dingo is. But I have an audition tomorrow, and I'm practicing my line!"

The life of a quizmaster is never boring. Never.
See ya next week.
