So?
We managed our secondary goal – beating Lady Aguecheek’s team – but did not succeed in winning. Elvis won with 32 points, another team came in 2nd with 30, and we had 26. There were only 3 questions where we might have picked the right answer; the other ones that we missed we just didn’t know.
I’m back in town and looking forward to Tuesday.
At least it won’t be threatening rain if we sit outside again. 
Cool. I’ll be there. I’m posting now in anticipation of no time to post tomorrow.
We’re in. As usual, no idea what time we’ll be there, but signs point to the usual.
I’ll be there sometime after 6:30 – probably more like 7:15, but one never knows. And inkysplotchy will be there shortly before 8:00.
Glad to hear you’re back in town, Rick!
Will we be competing with Lady Aguecheek’s coworkers again?
Not sure. There’s a couple of people from her team who expressed interest, but hadn’t committed themselves yet.
My intention is to be there tonight, but as is sometimes the case it depends on how long my job needs me to stay late tonight. If I’m done here by 7:30, yada yada.
Dunno if anybody’s still reading, but I’m gonna be finished earlier than expected, so I’ll be at the pub no later than 7:00. If I’m the first, I’ll grab an outside seat.
You know what’s sweet? Victory. Victory is sweet like the forbidden fruit. Rick brought us a bagful of good luck with him from California, and we defeated all challengers playing as “Bucket of Sun.”
Of course, Lady Cheek’s team did have to deal with the excessively touchy flirty bald stranger who glommed on to their team. Sorry about that, guys.
Early nominee for next week’s team name: Bring Me the Head of Carmen Miranda!
Good friends, good beer, lots of laughs, and I walked out with more money than I walked in with. Who could ask for more? 
Thanks for having me.
Yeah, apparently her team was gettin’ pretty squirrely by the end. Lady Cheek was ready to pop him one if he insisted “just once more” that it was definitely Norman Rockwell who painted ‘American Gothic.’
In all the excitement, I didn’t even hear how many points we got. How many points did we get?
We counted 25, they credited us with 24. I would’ve contested it if we’d lost or tied, but since we won I don’t know where the discrepancy lies. They said they gave credit for “left hand” on the Keith Richards question…
Ceci n’est pas une pitchfork.
Sorry to have missed the fun. See you, I hope, next week.
He was a stranger? I was being polite with him because I thought he was a friend of Aguefemme’s co-workers. If I’d known he was just a hanger-on, I woulda kicked him to the curb. Jeez, that’s what I get for being out of the loop.
I didn’t realize he was a stranger right away, either. And I didn’t really notice that he was Mr. Touchy-Feely for a while, and then since I was at the other end of the table I wasn’t sure if he was being inappropriately touchy-feely or if there was mutual flirtation (not by Mrs. Cheek, of course).
Basically, by the time I figured out he was an asshat, the quiz was over and they were brushing him aside like old crumbs on a picnic table. I’m assuming no one exchanged phone numbers with him like he wanted…
This is the second time I’ve been on (or near) a team that picked up a rogue member. Neither time has gone well.
A fine double-entendre. A trifle too risque for a team name, unfortunately.
All right, who’s in?
Lady Cheek and I are there, probably early as always. E. Thorp has mentioned being able to show, and Binarydrone e/mailed me earlier to say he’ll be making a newbie appearance.
Anyone else?
I’ll be there sometime between 7:45 and the beginning of question 5.
So, 10pm?
As far as I know, I’m available and will be in attendance. I’ll be limping, though. Long week at the alligator farm.
