I would also like to know how one pronounces **!?**. ---

I’ll be there, too. Looks like we’ll have two teams tonight! ---

When I posted this morning, I failed to mention… I’m _in._ Sorry, boys, I think I’m driving the truck, so no rides in the Corvette. 😃 That is, unless hubby gets home before 7:00PM ---

Next week’s aim: _sobriety_. This week was a celebration. I fear I was more of a heavy weight than a deep thinker. I could have gotten some of those damnable World Cup questions. And Adrian _Curry_, that whore! **E. Thorp** : very pleased to have met you, sorry I had nothing better to say than “I have to pee.” How dreadful of me. :smack: **Aguecheek** and **wife** and **mother** : Very pleased to meet you all, as well. **Das Glasperlenspiel** , in particular, has made me realise I have a _lot_ more to learn! That’s a _good_ thing! I will return. That was fun. ---

Any vacation from sobriety was well earned, I’m sure. ---

[QUOTE=Anastasaeon] Very pleased to meet you all, as well. **Das Glasperlenspiel** , in particular, has made me realise I have a _lot_ more to learn! That’s a _good_ thing! [/QUOTE] Holy Cow. Upon waking up this morning, taking a shower, feeling all bright and shiny new, thoughts collected, something awful descended upon me: I pray to the invisible pink unicorn that \*\*Das Glasperlenspiel \*\* didn’t ask me “You know Stephen Harper?” and my response was “_The name rings a bell_”??! _Please_, someone tell me I didn’t say that… especially since this was before I had even _ordered my first beer_. I can forgive myself some of the staggering ignorance I displayed last night, as I can always learn. But dear [Bernard] _Lord_… Way to impress the Canadians, Stasia! :smack: Maybe I really _am_ becoming an American? ---

[QUOTE=Anastasaeon] I pray to the invisible pink unicorn that \*\*Das Glasperlenspiel \*\* didn’t ask me “You know Stephen Harper?” and my response was “_The name rings a bell_”??! [/QUOTE] That particular exchange…does not ring a bell, if that helps. We were making fun of how Li’l Georgie Shortpants referred to the Rt. Hon. Mr. Harper as “Steve,” much to Steve’s obvious chagrin. Perhaps you said it to yourself? 'Cause I can’t for the life of me remember hearing you say it. Fun time had by all, and it was a treat to finally make your acquaintance, even if you did play for…them. Hope to see you again soon. Same goes to everyone that showed, actually. ---

Tuesday morning bump. Besides **A** ’s political hallucinations, are we looking forward to anything this evening? ---

I’ll be there, but of course not playing. Tonight’s the debut of our third regular host, David, and again I’ve seen all the questions. Next week I host again at the Old Pequliar, and I’ve seen most of those questions, too. The week after that I’m itching to try someplace new, and I figure Seth can handle it on his own now that he’s done it once. I’ve heard the Kangaroo & Kiwi on Aurora does a Wednesday night quiz . . . ---

I’ll be there tonight, but next week looks unlikely – that regular 1st-Tuesday meeting at church. Wednesday nights are usually good for me! ---

I’ll be there. I’m not sure exactly when, but before 8, of course. I’d certainly be willing to try out the Kangaroo and Kiwi. I’ve heard (from GP) that the quizmaster has a problem with slurring his words as the evening progresses and the beer flows, but that may just have been on the one night he attended. ---

We’re not in tonight. We’re in the middle of house/mortgage stuff on a tight deadline. Should it all pan out, however, I’ll be the first to invite everyone over for a _Casa del Cheek_ Special Edition Trivia Night. ---

I’ll be there. Probably 7:30ish. ---

My husband and I both have work errands to run unexpectedly, and he’s got the car - I’m going to try to finish mine up as early as possible, but if you don’t see me by 7:45, I’m not going to make it. I need to get going now if I’m going to have half a chance. ---

Bumpin’ early. **Interobang!?** is Quizmeister at the Old Pequliar tonight, and I plan to answer all of his questions. I even plan to be correct on some of them. See you there. ---

I’ll be there also. Any chance to prove that my brother is smarter than me can’t go untaken. ---

I’ll be there. And I promise you two things: 1. It’s a harder quiz than last week. 2. Color copies of the photo rounds for all!
