[QUOTE=inkysplotchy] King James of the bible fame, I believe, though Charilliams the II.V is also acceptable. [/QUOTE] Actually, it was James II. Bible Fame James was James I. Big surprise - I’m not in. Sorry. ---

Aha, but see, by spewing ignorant statements about British royalty, I can get **Aguecheek** to post again! Little known fact is that there have been 14 Elizabeths on the throne, but most of them went by ‘Edward.’ ---

Someone from the Fuckin’ As (competing team) told me how it went at the OP last night: > [@](#): > > Naomi… while she seems like a nice person… is an awful trivia host. The hosting wasn’t so bad itself, it was more the rounds she had and the questions. We actually got a zero on one of the rounds, it was all football players that were former UW footballers and the questions were formed around what position and who they play for now. Are you kidding? I just made up a bunch of names and put them down… the average for that round was 2. Then there was a grammar round. It was famous phrases/movie titles/etc and we were supposed to fix the grammar, but only one word was supposed to be changed. She had to describe the rules like four times before everyone got it. You should give that girl a talkin’ to! =) She’s hosting again on July 3rd and we’ve all decided that we have somewhere else to go on that day. I don’t think many other groups liked her either. But even with zero on a round we still got 4th place… beats me. I’m not sorry I missed _that_. Also, [we’re famous](http://www.seattlest.com/archives/2007/06/20/trivia_vagabond_the_george_dragon_pub_june_20.php), for a very particular and not-all-that-famous definition of famous. ---

[QUOTE=inkysplotchy] King James of the bible fame, I believe, though Charilliams the II.V is also acceptable. [/QUOTE] Sorry to quibble, but I don’t think they used decimal notation back then. I think it would properly be Charilliams II-D/C. Or maybe just Charilliams the Half-a-Vee. ---

[QUOTE=Interrobang!?] I’m not sorry I missed _that_. [/QUOTE] I have to say, I’m somewhat mollified in that the “no guessing” backlash at the G&D was balanced by the avoidance of an even worse experience at the OPq. With the hostess’s prior evening in mind, I honestly don’t know if I would have been able to resist a midgame bailout on a repeat. Oh, and I have really hairy hands. That is all. ---

Yeah, I’m a professional writer, and even I think that a “fix the grammar in the movie title round” sounds deadly. Especially on the heels of a Husky-focused football round on which I’d find a way to score negative points. ---

Who’s in? I can arrive a very few minutes before 8:00. ---

I’m planning on being there, probably around 7:30 or so. ---

Affirmative. Will be there early. ---

FYI, I just found out that the quiz started at 7:45 last week – as it did the week before. I believe the bar is pushing to have it start earlier so it’s for-sure over by 10:00. So get there early, is what I’m saying. ---

My brother and I can’t be there. Working late again, but it should be the last time until October or so. ---

So, what are we doing this week? I know there was talk of trying out a new place, in order to avoid another Naomi appearance. My brother and I are up for that, particularly after a week I couldn’t make it. ---

I think [this](http://www.thenorthsidegrill.com/events.html) was being discussed ([alternate link](http://quiznight.net/venue/42)), but I don’t know if we have confirmation that they’re holding trivia tonight, the day before the holiday. Assuming it’s a go, it sounds like a promising venue. ---

I’m pretty sure they’re holding the quiz – the hosts run the [quiznight.net](http://quiznight.net) site, so I imagine they’d publicize it if they weren’t. In an ironic twist, however, I’m sick and will _not_ be attending trivia anywhere tonight. Bleah. If you end up going to the Northside and it doesn’t completely suck, we’ll have to go again. ---

I’m suddenly dealing with a catastrophic payroll fuckup and my availability for tonight is in doubt. To be specific, the paychecks for a prominent technology company are in doubt, and my availability is tied to same. ---
