Dear Friend,

Have you ever watched an episode of Bojack Horseman that led you to remembering Secretariat (obviously), which made your mind wander to Seabiscuit, thus causing you to smile with the thought that Jeff Bridges is a person who exists in the world, leading you to lament how you confused Mr. Bridges with Jeff Daniels in your youth, with these mental meanderings all ending up in you asking people to name movies with Jeff Daniels for the Drinking Round?

If that hasn't happened to you yet, prepare to be amazed by how many devotees to that golden-haired Michigander's works there are. And as well by how closely any teams in a tie-breaking situation are able to estimate the budget of the film Dumb and Dumber.

Seriously, prepare now.

Regards,

QmMM

P.S. There are exactly seven ghosts and two goats in the photos of this game. See if you can spot them all!

Such a packed night. Gotta bulletize - so much happened!

  • Potential three-peat for Trashley Wards (it wasn't meant to be)
  • I learned how to pronounce Macklemore's name correctly
  • Who is that bearded man who keeps appearing in all the photos? (You see him too, right?!)
  • Aggressive Fourplay won the Double - Drinking Round and Game
  • Can you tell if somebody has a beard just by seeing their arm?
  • Gus!

Trivia at the Tam, always a free-spirited affair, really took flight during the Drinking Round. Teams put their engineering skills to the test as the folded and flung paper airplanes (set to the soundtrack from Top Gun, naturally). Attempts at staying aloft ranged from laughable to impressive, and in the end Flux Capacitors' plane flew the furthest by about a foot.

Meanwhile in the game at large, Trashley Wards were able to hold all challengers at bay for a second week running, giving them the right to hear the sweet sweet song of victory played for them alone.
