True story: At the conclusion of each week's trivia quiz, your humble quizmaster takes pictures of as many players as he can get to stand still for a minute - especially the winners.

This is not as easy as you might think, as many people need to "go check their makeup" or "I don't like to have my picture taken" or similar folderol.

And when you ask 'em to smile, do they smile!? NO! They don't smile. So you say, "say 'cheese'," and they say cheese, but they still don't smile, So you say, "say 'erection'," and sometimes they smile, but it's still an imperfect approach to the issue.

But then you say, "everybody flip me off!" And, without a moment's hesitation, they ALL flip you off, and you get photo #1, above! What does that mean!?

See ya next week!

They called themselves We're Not That Great, but that just wasn't true at all! They were great enough to pull out a one-point win over the tough competitors of Trivia Newton John Wednesday night, and that requires a fair amount of greatness. Or, at least, pretty goodness!

Third place belonged to Domers, but the three spots in the winner's circle could belong to you! Come on out next week and put yourself to the test. You might surprise yourselves, and do even better than We're Not That Great.

See ya next week.
