Patrick and Colleen packed up the kids and headed out to Shannon Airport for their vacation from
their home in Ireland to a relaxing two weeks in Australia. Patrick thought it would be a good
idea to take some pictures and brought along his old camera for some snaps, not being one to
indulge in this latest cell phone cam fad. As they waited for their flight, Patrick grabbed a
nearby tourist and asked him if he would take a picture of the family. The gentleman gladly
obliged and while he fiddled with Patrick's ancient Nikon, the family patiently waited for the
picture to be taken. After a while, they grew fidgety and Colleen asked her husband, "Why's
he takin' so long, Pat?" To which Patrick replied, "He's got to focus, first." Colleen's
mouth dropped open and she exclaimed, "What?!? All of us?!?"
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was Quizmaster Lou's Irish joke (in honor of Kilarney's) which
started off the evening. Fortunately, the rest of the evening went exceedingly well, with the
addition of a new team, Not Safe For Work, who dominated the pub with numbers and managed to
snag a third place win. Age & Treachery took second while the long absent Alcoballics returned
to win first place.
A shout out to the AFCF (aka the Allen Fairview Chamber Friends) who prodigally returned as
well. Ship It! dropped by while local faves Poonswagglers and Tequila Mockingbirds suffered from
DONS. (That's Double-or-Nothing Syndrome). Oh, IFFY! and Wossamatta-U vied evenly and ended up
just outside the winner's circle.
Great stuff, everyone. Have an equally great week!
