[QUOTE=Interrobang!?] Sorry I didn’t get to meet you – hope you had a good time. Everyone: Given that you guys didn’t win, what’d you think of the quiz? (I think you guys should get to know the Fuckin’ As – they’ve got some of the pop culture knowledge that tends to be your Achilles’ heel.) [/QUOTE] Yeah, I showed up late and, being the jerk that I am, took the place of **Aguecheek** ’s wife (not sure if she’s a doper or not). I had a great time, and was relieved to see that you people are somewhat normal (and I mean “somewhat” in the nicest way possible). I’m sure the Missus and I will be making future appearances. As far as the trivia – yowza, you (us?) Seattleites take trivia seriously! I like them hard, though. It’s much more satisfying to think for a minute and have it come to you than to quickly jot down something like, “Dar es Salaam, yeah, boring, I know my capitals.” To summarize: great job, **Interrobang** , and thanks everyone for having me. ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] The movie round drove me frickin’ _nuts_, though. 😛 [/QUOTE] Mission accomplished! I don’t know how many more people out there who combine the right level of fame with a surplus of relatively minor movie roles, but David Cross, I salute you. Also, that geography question is one of my favorites that I’ve ever written. It salvaged an otherwise humdrum geography week (that and the Wedgwood Rock). ---

[QUOTE=Interrobang!?] David Cross, I salute you. [/QUOTE] How many teams got him? ---

Three teams correctly answered Cross. Rip Torn and Janeane Garofalo were the other (more) popular choices. I was mildly surprised to see that you guys missed the _Night of the Hunter_ question, though of course it wasn’t flagged as such ahead of time… And I must know the psychology behind this: you didn’t write down a guess for the White Stripes video, yet **inkysplotchy** says you discussed “Fell in Love with a Girl.” Even if you thought it was wrong, why leave it blank? ---

The answer is: Because Ryan Seacrest made us do it. Trivia, tonight? Might be the last before my appearances become infrequent (I only came to gaze adoringly at David anyhow…) ---

I’m feeling pretty good about myself today, so it’s time to put a stop to it with a trivia appearance. I’m in. ---

But you don’t need to rehearse for Trivia. It’s in you, or it ain’t, just like good grammar. So if **Saltire** comes, don’t forget to register two teams, or else I can go for the swag. ---

Also - there is a Ben & Jerry’s store just down the street from the OP, in case anyone needs their free ice cream cone this evening. 🙂 ---

Sorry to post so late. I couldn’t get to the computer all day. I’m home sick. Thus, no trivia for me. Good luck, friends. ---

I’m no longer convalescing, so I’ll be there tonight. I will be bringing one of my brothers to join in on the trivia-fest. He’s not the one that some of you have already met. ---

I’m a maybe – I have a meeting tonight from 7-8:30, but I’m trying to get out of it. Or I might show up late. I’ll try to give a more definite answer later. ---
