When Rockaneus, God Of Rock Skipping, claimed to misunderstand the rules after the judges disqualified him for skipping his rock off the forehead of Zygomeus, God Of Zygomatic arches, he gave what he thought was a valid explanation. “You didn’t say it had to be off the water!” claimed Rock (to his friends). “Look, I get it,” said Zygo (to his friends), “I have a distractingly large zygomatic arch and it practically screams out to have a rock skipped off it.” For the next ten years, the judges conferred and finally came up with a decision. “After much deliberation we have determined that skipping a rock off a god’s face…IS GOOD!” And at this, the entire crowd chucked rocks at the zygomatic arches of both Rock and Zygo until rocks skipped in every cosmic, star-reaching direction. When the last rock had flown off into the ether and it was silent again, the judges finally spoke out with: “Okay, start over.” Here’s the point: very few trivia nights in bars allow rock skipping. Let’s talk:

When Masseusea, Goddess Of Massages, dug her cosmic digits into the latissimus dorci of Trapezius, God Of Back Muscles, she went through her mind ands scanned all the different ways she had to deliver the bad news to him. For it was apparent that what she felt, just below the trap muscle and above the teris major, was a small head. Like, literally. A small bald head was quite obviously protruding under Trap’s (to his friends) skin. “I’ve heard of kinks before, but this is ridiculous,” said Mass (to her fiends ) to herself. “Hey, that sounds personal,” answered Trap. Turns out, Mass had not just thought it, but actually said it. Out loud. “Trap, you have a little head here underneath your skin and it looks like it’s trying to say something. May I lance around the skin here?” asked Mass. Still thinking she was joking, Trap said: “Yeah, right, sure!” Taking this as permission to do so, Mass grabbed a long pin (one used in the One Millionth Annual Cockroach Jousting Contest from the week before) and pierced the area around the protuberance of the head. After a few uncomfortable moments, an even more uncomfortable moment presented itself when the small head in question presented itself by making eye contact with Trap in the mirror and saying: “This would never happen on trivia night Wednesdays at The Glendale Tap!” And you know what? That head was right. Let’s talk!

When Haircuttia, Goddess Of Haircuts, gave the finishing touches on the tenth head of hair in her row (she was in the middle of a marathon session of cutting ten different heads of hair as fast as she could), she quickly ran back down to the first person and finished up there as well. This was by far the most challenging Coiff Off she’d ever done: ten different customers, ten different hairstyles to be done in under ten minutes. And, they were all gorgons. That’s right. All ten subjects were direct descendants of Medusa. Each with eye masks to shield Hair (to her friends) from their stone-making gazes, these gorgon subjects sat in relative patience, which is saying something since gorgons aren’t exactly known for their waiting skills. Speeding up and down the line, Hair cut, trimmed, faded, poofed, pushed, pulled and sculpted all ten heads of snakes to ten different shapes of coiffed brilliance. But she wasn’t done. Just as quickly, some would say even more quickly, Hair yanked each eye mask from each gorgon seated in front of the one large mirror in the salon. “So would do y’all think?” she asked the hissing heads as she herself averted her eyes and took cover behind a box of moisturizer. All ten gorgons, before even being able to say: “It’s too poofy,” caught glimpses of themselves in the one long mirror that stretched the length of the salon and literally turned to stone. Here’s the point: Something like this happened about four times last night at trivia. Let’s talk:
