Holy Hell on Wheels, Batman! It was a hot night at Hyperion Public on Monday night, what with the air conditioner broken and fifty people playing trivia and the Dodgers losing their grip on sanity in the top of the ninth. But every damn team stuck it out the whole damn time, so credit where credit is due. I think I was standing in a puddle of my own sweat by the end of the night, which may be a bit more description than you were hoping for, but I'm really just trying to paint a picture for you.

Omaroasting showed up with the best name of the night and also the best performance of the night, slamming all the other teams face first in the dirt with a commanding score of 83 points. The Veggie Scrambles though showed up in rare form and took an incredibly solid second place with their knowledge of car manufacturers. And it was Sex Quiztols who took the drinking round, this being their, like, ninetieth time they've done so. They know so much about so much: it's very impressive. Grats all around ya'll, grats.

My oh my, what a night for trivia at Hyperion Public. Fourteen teams showed up to show the goods on Monday, but you know the drill. Longtime favorites and villains Little Lebowski's Urban Achievers have once again reclaimed first place, as it had been some time since they could rub it in everyone's faces. Last week's winners, Blowie and the Hootfish, took second place, moving down just a notch.

For the drinking round, I asked all the teams to write a simple haiku about whatever they wished, and then I would pick my favorite. I immediately threw all the low-effort "I hate creative drinking round" trash to the side because we're adults - not teenagers - and we can have some fun instead of pretending to not like things to look cool. Here are the top three haikus:

In third place, from Little Lebowski's Urban Achievers:

There's no collusion.

The Democrats colluded.

You're the colluder.

In second place, DALE:

Drop it like it's hot.

When the pimps in the crib ma,

Drop it like it's hot.

And finally in first place, Blowie & The Hootfish: (this one needs context. There was a seven year old girl playing on a team, and I told everyone they couldn't swear until after she left. She left after round 2)

The seven-year-old

Is no longer in the bar.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

The crowd went absolutely insane upon hearing B&THF's wonderful haiku, and the took home the much deserved drinking round. Hats off to all the teams for a great night!

Just before 9 pm, several teams walked right in the door and scrambled to find tables because they knew that trivia was starting at Hyperion Public! Leads shifted around constantly through the course of the night, but when you have three successful double downs like Blowie and the Hootfish, you're bound to take first easily. Well, not that easily, as Backyard Yurt resurfaced and zoomed into second right behind them. I think the real kudos go to Michael from Vishnu Were Here, who nearly always plays by himself. Tonight, he won the drinking round single-handedly (particularly because he won the tie breaker with rock paper scissors) and drank that victory beer all to himself. Victory tastes like Nitro Milk Stout.
