**February 7** Cylon & Garfunkel are hosting tonight. There’s a requested round on Fictional Wildlife, and they posted a link to Lou Reed’s video for “Vicious” on the FB page. INTRIGUING. I plan on being at the OP. **Cervaise** is not in the lower 48, so I suspect he’s out. Anyone else? ---

I haven’t had a full evening at home in weeks, and I really need one. So I’m out. ---

I’m a maybe - was randomly awake for hours in the middle of the night, so I may have turned into a pumpkin by quiz time. I’ll text someone when I know one way or the other. ---

**Feb. 14** Alyssa and her team host tonight. Requested topic (requested by us): Bizarre love triangles. Unfortunately, I can’t make it – my daughter told me that Valentine’s Day is for families to be together, and that was too cute to argue with. ---

Though I have failed to assemble a bizarre love triangle of my own in time to attend tonight’s contest in style, I’m planning to be there anyway. ---

We don’t do much for Valentine’s Day at my place, so I’m happy to go to trivia tonight if others will be there. ---

I’m considering making a surprise appearance. I haven’t publicly displayed my wide range of ignorance in quite awhile. It’s also just as likely lethargy will take over, though. ---

First question is at 8:00. If **Saltire** is attending tonight, he’ll probably have arrived quite early and snagged us the table by the window to the right of the entrance. I’ll probably get there 7:00-7:30. When in doubt, ask around for the Smurfs. ---

I’ll be there. I’ll be the big guy with the white Van Dyke attempting to crochet a horse. It is not lifesize. ---

Tonight, Jason and Will are hosting, and the selected round (by our team, since we came in third and last) is on Drunk Driving. [There’s a story to tell about how that came up. If you weren’t there last week, come this week and ask us.] It is also **stargazer** ’s birthday, I believe, and Fat Tuesday. Happy occasion! I hope none of you are planning to give up pub trivia for Lent. I plan on being there. Anyone else? ---

Happy birthday **stargazer**! I’m not giving up pub trivia for Lent, but I’m giving it up for Fat Tuesday, in favor of some live jazz. So, I’m out. ---

I’m considering, provided there are no more jellybeans. ---

Confection-based trivia is a rare occurrence. I doubt it will happen twice in a row. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-doper-trivia-2012-pub-of-shadows/608314.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-doper-trivia-2012-pub-of-shadows/608314.md?page=3)
