Me: "Would you like to join us for some fun trivia?"
Moms: "How long does it last?"
Me: "About two hours"
Moms: "Oh, we're not going to be here that long."
Me: "Why not play the first couple of rounds for fun?"
Moms: Plays all 7 rounds and finish 4th.
Also Moms: worst taco drawers ever.
For fun tonight, I asked our teams to draw a picture of their dinner for the team photos. One team, Smart AF, did an excellent job portraying a quality still life of their nachos. The Night Moms, however, are terrible at drawing tacos. Worse, they were planning their Halloween costume. Charlie Brown ghost costume, coming right up.
Hope everyone had fun playing with us tonight. we all now know what a $50 bill looks like, can earn 8 points in Scrabble and can expertly discuss Dave Bing's basketball career. Next week, let me know, "I got a rock."
Boy do you guys hate Steven Spielberg. All that man ever did was keep you on the edge of your seat while moving you to tears through fantastic character development and memorable dialogue. And only one of you figured out that he was our secret connection in Round 5. So disrespectful.
Had some especially great guesses on Round 7's question about quadrilaterals. Unfortunately, "quadrilateral" is not an acceptable answer for a question to name types of quadrilaterals. Also not acceptable, cube, pyramid, octagon, pentagon and hexagon. Quad means four. Yikes.
I am proud to announce that everyone knew that Wham! sang "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" and that Bugs Bunny was a "wascally wabbit." Goon on ya!
Congrats to 1st in Gym Class for taking home our third prize. Thanks for bringing in cookies. They were delicious. See you next week.
Oh, and don't tell anyone but, "I see dead people."
When Dreams become Nightmares. All my life, I had one goal, one dream....to host trivia in a bar. For the past couple of months, I've been living that dream, meeting great people, learning new things, eating delicious tacos.
But last night changed everything. One itsy bitsy little connector for a cord extension stood between glory and despair.
This is where humanity shines. This is where mankind elevates above the rest!
Thankfully, I had a local hero (Chris, pictured above) who rescued me with a portable sound system. Also photo credits to Brian , who ably assisted me with photos while I caught up on scoring. Shoutout to Danielle and Kirsten behind the bar for doing what they could to help out. Tech stuff is a nasty curve ball and they were helpful with offering suggestions and ideas!
Here's a list of the competition. Congrats to the winners. Thanks to the golfers for a valiant effort, despite starting in round 5. You're tee time is set for 7pm next week, and don't plan on any mulligans!
Secret code for next week: "It'd getting dark, too dark to see..."
