When Suitaneus, God Of Three-Piece Suits, posed for his passport photo near the Waterfall Of Gravity, he never thought it would take more than five minutes. But Lightaneus, God Of Natural Light, was a stickler for his craft. “I’m getting too much of a glare from the sun,” complained Light (to his friends). “Too bad we’re only gods and can’t do anything about the sun,” answered Suit (to his friends). “I’m gonna call Helios,” said Light and here’s the thing about this: Light had Hel (to his friends) on speed dial so he speed dialed the hell out of him and somehow Hel wasn’t busy and he answered and he was all: “WHAT! I’m busy burning up over here!” “Look, explained Light, “I’m in the middle of a shoot and I’m getting a weird glare off the rocks and the water and I was wondering if you could shift the sun about a mile to the east?” “Will you promise never to call me again over this?” “Oh, I promise,” said light crossing his fingers. Within two seconds, the sun shot forward a mile and Light got the exact bounce he wanted. However, just at that moment, a a chiaroscuro sketch artist named Daniel came running over yelling: “What the hell! I was working on something!” Here’s the point: The sun may move only one mile, but that doesn’t mean the trivia at the Glendale Tap ain’t gonna slap! Let’s talk!

When Ramenaneus, God Of Packaged Noodles, flung his last delivery into the wheeled cart atop Mount Pasta, he thought he was done for the day. All he had to do next was push that cart down the steep embankment and into town for the hundreds of tiny Jackondas gathered for their annual pasta feast. When the people saw their pasta was gnocchi instead of rigatoni, there was an uproar. “Uproar!” they said at the same time. “Oh, that’s right,” he yelled to them, “I forgot you liked the rigs!” At that moment, Riganeus, God Of Rigatoni, swept down from the clouds and hand delivered, one tube at a time, rigatoni to the yelling people of the land! Because he was doing it one tube at a time though, it was starting to take hundreds of years, so Ram (to his friends) killed time by writing a cookbook titled “Next Time, Rigatoni…And In Bulk!” Here’s the point: Ask what the people want first, and give it to them one piece at a time. Let’s talk:
The Drinking Round was a Dog-Off: Of the three dogs in the bar for trivia—Ramen, Caz and Q-Bert, who could do the best impression of one of them? The winner? Not Not Horny for capturing the manner of a dog drinking at a bar.

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:
