[QUOTE=Cervaise] I’m sorry, didn’t I mention? I’m bringing team names with me; you’ll draw one out of a hat. [/QUOTE] Who is wearing a hat in this weather? Let your hair be free! ---

Well, it is kind of a stinky hat. ---

Not it! (in terms of drawing names from a stinky hat. _I’m_ not touching that thing.) ---

I just don’t want the hat to tell me I’m in Slytherin. ---

I’m proud to have served in **Angelina Jolie’s Child Army** , though we came up short. I did learn something about **Aguecheek** : He spends a lot of time on YouTube. Congrats to the Jihadists and Black Nationalists, who pulled out a compelling third place for actual money. So if that guy hosts again, are we going back? ---

Apparently our halftime terrorist fist-bump was premature. (Next week’s New Yorker cover: Obamas as Wondertwins!) But it was nice to get the bar bill partly covered. Fine job by our host – one audio question per round was an especially nice touch. Must start spending more work time on youtube and less on [websudoku.com](http://websudoku.com) (or facebook). ---

Thanks, y’all. Had a good time myself. For anyone who’s interested, I’ve posted the complete list of YouTube clips, including links, on the Wall of the “Old Pequliar Trivia Night” group in Facebook, in case you’d like to catch up with all the Culchah you’ve been missing out on. ---

I’m a maybe – got a work event starting early tomorrow, so I might need to stay home and get to bed early. OTOH, if you do see me tonight, there is a good chance I will have cupcakes with me. 🙂 ---

Yeah, I’m definitely out tonight. I’ll probably be there next week but then I’ll be out for 4-5 weeks after that (doing a play). ---

I’ve got a migraine sneaking up on me, and meds aren’t really doing much to it yet. I’m gonna have to bag tonight. Sorry! ---
