I’m not available tonight, but I’m planning on showing up tomorrow. It may be late-ish (close to 8pm) as it’s my turn for payroll. Or not. Won’t know till tomorrow. ---

So to recap, we’ve got: Myself **Cervaise lissener** Maybe: **stargazer** **Anastasaeon** in the near future (good luck with the operation!). Anybody else? FYI, **Lady Cheek** is feeling somewhat under the weather and is not yet certain if she’s showing. If she’s not, I’ll be later than usual as I’d have to go home first to get the car. ---

I’m almost certain to be there tonight. I’ve got some errands to run between work and trivia, but they should not run long. Then again, I’m leaving myself an out since I’ve got a problem with misestimating time. I won’t commit to when I’ll arrive, though it will probably be before 7. ---

Mini hijack (complete in mini writing!) for those who may have been following: My Mom is okay, the lumps are benign. Yay! …_Whew_. ---

Good news. Now tomorrow, make sure the surgeon doesn’t touch the sides with the tweezers and you’ll be fine. I’ve also found removing the battery keeps your nose from lighting up even if there is a small accident. 😉 ---

Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will be there tonight. And I’ll bring cash this time, too. 🙂 ---

And . . . we won! We had to split into two teams, being 6ish, and Cervaise and AqueChick and I, as Smurfs on a Plane, beat the other usual suspects by the wonted 1 point. It was John’s last night; next week I’m up again. If any of you guys are NOT gonna be there next week, let me know; it’s nice to have feedback when I’m writing the questions. ---

So, we doin’ this thing, or what? I expect to be at the Old Pequliar tonight, 'round about 6 or so. Should we sit in the back, or at the usual table? ---

I’m planning to be there. Is it just the two of us? ---

I will probably be there. Like a 75% chance or better. But also likely late, if so – near to 8:00. ---

I’ll be there, but will be ineligible for cash prizes. You guys should sit where you want, but I think I’d still benefit from your thumbs, if you don’t hate sitting in back. ---

But it’s so hard to hear in back! I mean, sure, we’ll be your testers. ---

Seriously, if you don’t like the back, sit in your usual place. I’m sure whoever sits in back will let me know if I’m too quiet. Anyone NOT going, who I could bounce the questions off of, for feeback, via email? ---

I can go tonight, after all - my meeting got rescheduled. Who all will be there? ---

Hey, you can bounce any questions you need to off of me. I think I have more in me than the stupid jock questions, though that may be open to debate. ---

Congrats to **lissener** for running a much more polished quiz night last night. _No_ congrats for running a quiz in which our team came in frickin’ _second._ Grumble grumble. 😉 ---

> [@Aguecheek](#): > > Hope everything went all right. We lost by one point. And one question we got wrong involved Canada. If you’d like to feel guilty about that, go right ahead. Also, **lissener** did a bang-up job last night as host. I think, more than anything else, being comfortable behind the mic makes for a successful quiz, and you really settled into that well. (Also, good questions, even that horribly difficult stamp round.) ---

Where’s my knitting round!? 😉 You did great last night. I agree that the only problem is that we didn’t win! And that you weren’t at our table to joke with. Otherwise, good job!
