I’ll not be there. I’ll be reconnecting with my midwestern roots by bowling instead. Kick some ass, take some names. ---

Hey guys, I won us a shot at free beer as well as the free bonus hint (one of tonight’s round topics). I assume it’s not cricket to post it on a public message board, but I assume it _is_ cricket to email it to my teammates. ---

I have mucho homework due tomorrow and my boyfriend is on multiple antibiotics (which means he feels like crap _and_ he can’t drink). So we’re a no. Helpful advice which is worth what you are paying for it: if you have to go to the ER on a Saturday night, go to the one in Ballard. We were in at 9pm and out by 2am, and that’s with a CT scan. ---

> [@](#): > > Yikes! Team sez Get Well Soon. Thanks! I’ll pass it along. Right now it seems like the antibiotics are making him feel worse than the actual disease is, but it could have been serious if untreated so I’m glad he caught it. We really will come back! Maybe week after next, if it’s not midterms. ---

FYI, I’m out this week. Mom’s coming to town and I have to pick her up from the airport right about 7:45. ---

Your mom will really go to the outer limits to keep you from drinking hard cider with your pals. I’m in (tomorrow) if others are. ---

Stop me? If her plane were arriving earlier, she’d probably be happy to join us. ---

I’m up for trivia…being the bad son and all… ---

I think it’s more like being the son with no car or grandchild. Bad’s got nothing to do with it. ---

I’m the good daughter, and I’ll be at trivia tonight. (I’m also the only daughter. Also, my folks aren’t in town this week.) ---

I"m somewhere in the middle of my mom’s pack of sons, so I shall go to trivia tonight. ---

My friend Emily and I are a tentative “yes”. The BF is going to skip it this week though - he’s still not 100%. I hope I remember what everyone looks like… ---

It’s unlikely I’ll be able to attend. I’m doing a huge systems deployment which will probably keep me at the office until 9 or 10 tonight. If luck breaks my way and I finish early, I’ll show up. If I’m not there by 7:45, that means I’m still stuck at work. ---

I’m a “highly probable.” I did all the good daughter things over the weekend. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-pub-trivia-08-with-a-vengeance/432754.md?page=17) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-pub-trivia-08-with-a-vengeance/432754.md?page=19)
