Unfortunately, we will not be there tonight either. **Lady Cheek** fambly is showing up for a visit in the near future, and she’s gone into overdrive in getting ready. So you can bounce to me too. If so, lemme know here, and I’ll send you an e/mail from my work address. ---

I, for one, am in no position for bouncing. Which means I’ll be competing. Anyone else? ---

I’ll be there. Probably the usual 7:45, but maybe earlier. It’s a mystery! ---

Well that went mostly a little better. That olympic mascot round was a bitch. But how else would you score such a round? Any thoughts? THAT’S the round I needed bouncing off, yesterday. ---

Man. Today’s Tuesday? I am not available tonight, as we are in the home stretch of getting ready for the in-laws.\* Nor will I be available next week as I will be in DC for a business meeting. Nor the week after that, as I will have a rehearsal for an upcoming play. But I should be good after that! Sorry guys. \*[sub]Kill me.[/sub] ---

> [@lissener](#): > > Well that went mostly a little better. That olympic mascot round was a bitch. But how else would you score such a round? Any thoughts? THAT’S the round I needed bouncing off, yesterday. I guess I thought it was a little too much feast or famine. Hard isn’t a problem, I am used to not knowing things. But if you knew it, you got a ton of points, and if you didn’t, you could maybe pick up a few by guessing. ---

Cervaise, if you do end up being the only one, there are 2 or 3 members of my book showing up, and I told them there’d be a group they could join. Hope some of you guys can make it! ---

–for what it’s worth, I feel like it’s a good quiz, and there is an extra prize . . . ---

Aw man. It was a good quiz. My friends from the book club showed up; did OK. A team that’s been bubbling under lately won, on a fluke: they had a geek that got 11 out of 12 on a round that not everyone did very well on. Based on that, they won the 4th place pitcher, AND then bumped to first place for the pot. The other usual suspects came in third, after a new team that’s never been there before and did really well. Another new team of idiot jerks sat down front. They kept asking me to repeat “all of them.” !!! Like on one round where they got ZERO, as if my doing the round again from scratch, doubling the length of the evening, was gonna help them at _all_. They even asked me to repeat a scoring round; they’d been dicking around and hadn’t scored the quiz! Then they kept reaching their score sheet toward me, as if I was gonna come down off the stage and collect it. Totally oblivious; they would have been surprised to learn they were being jerks. I hope they had a sucky time; they came in second to last. ---

In fact, I will be hosting. I’m feverishly compiling questions and plotting my picture rounds. (Insert evil laughter here.) Anyone in Seattle who’d like to see me bobble the mike, bicker with people who nitpick my questions, and otherwise make an ass out of myself in a public forum is welcome to attend. ---

I’m almost sure I’ll be there. My house has come down with some plumbing issues, so there’s a chance I’ll be forced to stay away, but I’ll try my best. I’ve always wanted to see how ?! does a quiz. ---

I might be there, and if I make it, there’s a good chance I’ll be late. My in-laws return from Italy this evening, and my husband is picking them up from the airport while I make dinner for all of us. So it kind of depends on when they get in, how tired they are, etc. But if I do come, I’ll bring what’s left of the cake I’m making this afternoon, to make up for my tardiness. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pub-trivia-in-seattle-2006-electric-boogaloo/338101.md?page=15) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pub-trivia-in-seattle-2006-electric-boogaloo/338101.md?page=17)
