Seattle Pub Trivia '08: With a Vengeance

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.

Well, it already told the New Yorker that Obama is from Pakistan…

Dude, you are sooooo Hufflepuff.

I’ll be there, but I might be a tad late. Save me a spot on the “Outraged at the Outrage over the New Yorker Cover” team.

And Michelle Obama is from Bangladesh! Forget Mars and Venus, John Gray, this is fertile ground for a sequel.

Team names so far:

Jihadists Are From Mars, Black Nationalists Are From Venus

Who Out-Outrages The Outraged?

Slytherin Towards Bethlehem

The Stinky Hat Irregulars

Left-field candidate: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Quiz Team.

(Pop culture referent here.)

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 (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 know Cervaise is out. I’m up for tonight – anyone else planning on going?

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. :slight_smile:

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 could be up for some trivia action tonight.

I’m in this week.

I can’t make it tonight.

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!

Hmmm. Looks like a pass on this week then. Next week, we rule!
