Zoom bang!
Anyone in at all? So far we got myself, Lady Cheek and E. Thorp. Anyone else? Pensandfeathers? Hello?
Well, well. Page 5.
I’m in. See you all around 7.
I will not be able to make it tonight, sorry. I was looking forward to Cindy’s quiz, too…
How about inkysplotchy?
We’ll miss you!
I will be there, and I will be wearing a funny hat.
But not on my head.
I think inkysplotchy will be attending, but I haven’t spoken with him since last week, so I may not be at maximum up-to-dateness.
I’ll be there, around 7:50ish.
I’m in tonight, as is inkysplotchy. Anyone else?
I’ll be there a bit later than usual, but before 8:00.
We’re in. Dunno what time we’ll get there. Lady Cheek’ll be braving the 520 Westbound, so…
I’ll be there, 'round about 7.
I’m out. Got a ticket to a sneak.
On the one hand, I hope y’all do well, but on the other hand, I hope you don’t win, because I will question my contribution to the team. 
There never was a question of your value to the team. 
I’m out, thus costing the team…well, I’m out, anyway.
So how’d it go?
I’m assuming you would have known the name of the comet NASA just probed with Deep Impact, which would’ve put us in a tie for the lead.
If you’d known where Bacardi comes from, what a baby cod is called, how many weeks a dog gestates or months an elephant does, or any of several other answers, we would’ve won.
Mmmm, I love stroking that ego.
Although a quick look at Wikipedia shows that Quizmaster John was wrong (I know, shocker) – Bacardi was originally from Cuba (his answer for “which country Bacardi is from”), but is in fact now headquartered in Bermuda and produced in . . . Puerto Rico, exactly where we guessed it was from.
Damn! If only we’d known to argue.
He said it was from Cuba? How on earth does he think it gets sold here if it’s from Cuba?
strangely, I do know an elephant’s gestation period, from when Chai’s baby was born - of course, they won’t ask that next week.
That whole Cuba embargo thing was why we quickly rejected that answer when Aguecheek brought it up. Saltire and I were originally thinking Jamaica, but Lady Aguecheek convinced us to go with Puerto Rico.
We were off by 2 months on the elephant gestation period (we said 23, his answer was 21), and he gave people a 1-month window. Very sad.
Comet Tempel, and codling.
Of course, knowing our luck the last few weeks, I would have talked us out of a different right answer, and put the team back down a couple.
Hey, would anyone mind telling (in short, small words) what this is about? I’ll be staying in Seattle come September for about ten months as an exchange student, so I’m looking for all kinds of places were I might meet interesting folk…
