Master Gardeners jumped out to an early lead, which they held onto for the whole game. Their win was all but cemented when both Moose & Squirrel and Bike Lane guessed wrong in round 4. It looked like Bike Lane was likely to place second, but they were one answer off in a double or nothing for round 6, allowing Moose & Squirrel to slide into second place.

For the drinking round, I asked for the best joke. Here's the winner:

There once was a girl named Lil / Who took an atomic pill / They found her vagina / In North Carolina / Her tits on a fence in Brazil.

Tonight was the inaugural contest at The Grand Tavern, and players came ready to compete! Fluid and "Cool" Kids traded blows back and forth for first place early on, with FDT and 10 Megabytes of Ram trailing behind. Fluid stumbled during Find the Connection, allowing "Cool" Kids to cement their lead. Fluid also departed after the drinking round, opening up second place for either 10 Megabytes of Ram or FDT to take. FDT regretted that their friend who loves Wingstop wasn't around for round 7, otherwise they surely would have taken second instead of 10 Megabytes of Ram.

For the drinking round, I asked for haikus about impeachment, with the winner getting the mixed drink of their choice. Here was the winning entry:

This is depressing/Nothing is gonna happen/We are all still fucked.
