Happy Valentine's Trivia! While most of the usual crew for 1739 Public House trivia night was out having romantic dinners with their S.O. or themselves, the die-hards were out at trivia, romancing those answer sheets with their best thinking.
New/old-comers Fear of Flying gave our recent regulars a run for their money, but fell just short of besting champs Bruce Jennertalia, who leapt into first place with a well-timed Double or Nothing in the 6th round. In third place was the ever-delightful The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Has Blown Is.... Warnings to watch and/or wash each others' backs bounced between those top three finishers... it sounds like there's more trash-talking to come. The drama is heating up on Wednesday nights!!
For our Drinking Bonus Round we did a V-Day classic: Best-Worst Pick-Up Line. The submissions were... let's say, terrifying. It was a tough call to pick the best one, but our guest DJ for the evening ended up giving the boozy final prize to Girth Reynolds, in a move that surprised, well, everyone. For your entertainment/horror, here were the submissions:
"Are you Irish? Cause my d**k is Dublin!"
"Do the curtains match the drapes?" "No. Hardwood floors."
"If I told you that you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"
"I like a girl with a fat chest." (Used IRL!)
*unsolicited d**k pic*
"#younext?"
And the winner... "Hey babe, your legs are the word. Let's go to my place and spread the word."
You're welcome, world! Happy Valentine's Day! See y'all next week!

It was a balls & panties kind of night at 1739 Public House Trivia Night! We all learned just how uncomfortable it makes me to have to repeat the word "panties" into a microphone to a room full of people, and our leaders from last week were displaced by some delightful dudettes & dudes, The Gyffindwhores!
We also tried our hand at a game I've named Bar Bocce, which is when we crumple up our visual rounds and throw balls at other balls to see who can get closest to my ball without hitting my ball. Balls galore! The Pervy Hervies ended up being the most talented with their ball, and won the Bonus Drinking Round for the evening.
See ya'll next week!
