Just gonna stay home tonight, sorry. I’ve been running all over the place for the past 5 days and am about ready to drop.
Good luck, see you next week!

Probably available, probably coming, probably too tired to be much use to the team, probably will be forgiven.
I’ll be there sometime after 7:30ish.
We’re looking at a 3-man team. You guys still up for it?
I think I’m gonna beg off. I was okay this morning, but I’m feeling pretty wiped. (We closed the show this past weekend. Much partying, followed by a day of theater-cleaning.)
Next week! Revenge of Thor Heyerdahl!
Bumpity bump bump!
Anyone coming tonight? I’m available and interested.
I have a couple of new name ideas, too:
**Partners in Thoughtcrime
Lapdances with Wolves** (can’t take credit; it was on “Family Business”)
I had another good one, but it’s slipping my mind right now.
I’m in, and will br arriving around 7:45ish or thereabouts.
Word.
I’ll be there. Much as I like Lapdances with Wolves, I’m going to suggest one more: Round Is Funny.
Or sticking with Wrath of Kon-Tiki. Or Lapdances. I’m of three+ minds.
Ah, somebody happened across Raising Arizona on cable this weekend, didn’t somebody?
And yet again:
I’d say it’s getting old, but… it’s not.
Victory is all the sweeter on a three-man team. The conversation isn’t as varied, true, but the money is better.
And it’s definitely not getting old.
My apologies for not posting as I was at home taking a mental-health day and I currently have no internet access.
Congrats on the win! What was the score?
We were credited with 24 points. I’d say we earned that many, but our initial count was 20.
We played as Lapdances with Wolves, by the way, which made the quizmistress laugh. Good job, Cervaise.
Stupid too-broad question of the night: What was the only country to fight on both sides during WWII? Our answer was France, quiz answer was Italy, and it’s a stupid question regardless.
Apparently we got credit for our mangled spelling of the capital of Madagascar, among other fudges. (I’m somewhat mollified by the knowledge that the quizmistress didn’t really know, either; when she said the answer, it was clear from her mispronunciation that she had the correct spelling but didn’t know how to say it, which is what I’m figuring allowed us to squeak by with it.)
I didn’t hear what the second-place team got, either, so I don’t know our margin of victory. I just know it was rough, and we got lucky on a lot of guesses, and we were genuinely surprised when she announced we won.
The team at the next table from us told the Quizmistress that they had 23, so every answer, vague as they might have been, counted.
I’m almost positive we got credit for obesophobia, which we said was fear of fat and she read as fear of gaining weight; and for the first president to live in the White House, which we said was JQ Adams and was actually just J Adams. (Which should be a reminder to be vague when answering questions: we should’ve just written Adams.) We didn’t give ourselves credit for either of those in the initial tally.
I’d feel bad about the guys next to us if I hadn’t noticed them listening to us for some answers. I mean, all’s fair and all that, but I’m happy we didn’t piggyback them to a win.
Tonight…Aguecheek is in and Lady Cheek is tentative; I’m in and Lady Thorp, just back from Europe, looks forward to meeting everyone.
Who else?
I’m wavering. Not sure. Will decide later.
Either way, I think the team should be called Werewolves of Swindon.
I’ll most probably be there (I might have to work late)

I’ve decided to try my hand at this contest you describe. I’m not as smart as you all, I’m sure, but I hope I have a fact or two stored away that will come in handy. I’m assuming there’ll be room for one more?
Just to be sure I have everything right: This is the George & Dragon in Balmont/Frelard, correct? I should arrive around 7pm and eat some pub grub, correct? I should bring my Sunday-go-to-meetin’ brain, rather than the everyday gray matter, correct? [If I had a spare carrying-case, I’d bring both, Zaphod-style.]
I’ll see you there!
