Crazy fun night. Regal Beagles took the win tonight in a come from behind victory, after stealing the lead in the fifth and sealing it in the sixth with a successful double. There was some animosity between the teams tonight, compounded by the fact that one team was named "Pippa Hayes Julia." (To explain, the lovely Julia is one of our regulars, and she frequently brings her dog whose name is Pippa.) To say Julia was not a fan of the name is an understatement, but her reaction derailed the game as it left the quizmaster in a fit of laughter. Some other fun team names were Eggplant Condom (named after the Facebook question) and Clowns Are People Too, in honor of October 18's Clown Lives Matter March (yes, this is real). My favorite part of the night came in round number five, where I wagered a bet. I was so confident that no team could guess the connection after the first question that I offered up $20 as a prize to anyone who correctly guessed it (quietly to my face, of course). No one figured it out, and I kept all of my money. Honestly, I am very comfortable with that result.
