I don’t think any of us are likely to shut up for the course of the evening, so two teams it is. ---

[QUOTE=Saltire] Being a winner just doesn’t come naturally to me. [/QUOTE] I’m glad we were able to guide you back to your comfort zone last night. Congrats to **Cervaise** , **inkysplotchy** , and co., though. Did you guys take first by about 9 points? I missed the totals. ---

We were up 6 at the break, and only won by 3 total. Those other Smurfs made an impressive run and should be feared. ---

Yep. We got cocky, slacked off, and were nearly overtaken by the other blue-faced team. Or, more accurately, we kept trying to do well, but had a slightly less successful second half, and almost got our asses beat. Whatever. ---

The other Smurf team (Gag Me With a Smurf) has been regulars for a while, but they recently tinkered with their roster and got super good. They’ve one at least once in the last few weeks. (Proposed team name for next week: Fuck Me Gently With a Chainsaw.) They’ll also host sometime in January, which was the soonest opening at the time they wanted to sign up. ---

Since tonight is the last night I’ll be able to make it in a good long while (starting a class that meets Tuesday evenings), I thought I’d bump the thread and ask who’ll join me on our trivia team, **Charter Members of the Idaho Hall of Fame**. ---

Awww. I’ll be there, but I was hoping we could make our team name all smack talky and be **Gargamel and the Azraels**. Three apples high of danger! ---

Sure, Gargamel’s smack-talky, but didn’t he always lose? We might as well name ourselves **The Washington Generals**. (Or **The Democratic Party**.) ---

As we learned at Trivia some night a while back, the Generals won a couple of games. It’s more epic when the underdog wins. We could always go with the **Belicheats**. Or, I actually like **The Washington Generals**. ---

I’ll be there. I figure before we talk smack, though, we should make sure the smackees are actually in attendance. ---

I’m there, though I’ll be playing with **The Ancient Warriors of the Mystic Mountain Who Fight With Swords and Sticks and Stuff, Boo Ya.** What’s up next week? Who’s hosting? I have an offer to go see _Spamalot_ on Tuesday. If it’s a sucky host, how about Kate’s on Monday? ---

I’ll be there. As usual, I have no creative input as to team name, though I like several suggestions made so far. ---

**E.** , I grabbed your briefcase and gave it to your fellow medical-facility worker Z. She will be calling you first thing this morning to arrange delivery. ---
