It was a nice and relaxing time at the Glenn this Tuesday. The beer was flowing, the patrons were laughing, and the difficulties were technical. After a brief delay because the S-Video faeries decided to play hookie, we were up and running with a brilliant Round 1. Highlights included team Mad Dog going through nearly 49 states before figuring out the longest coastline is in a bit colder climate than Florida and team We Won’t Win and Gods of Wrong Answers battling it out with a near perfect round (apparently no one has ever seen or heard of any movie ever called “About a Boy”). With a twist befitting an M Night film, team We Won’t Win pulled into the lead and took the round with perfect Grab Bag answers.
Round 2 saw slightly tougher questions, which of course means slightly wronger answers (shut up, it is too a word). Despite no one being quite sure on the women’s tennis champion or Pimpernel’s nationality, teams Mad Dog and We Won’t Win battled out for first throughout the round and into a tie-breaker. And of course neither team was willing to go gently into the good night, so with both answering exactly the same answer, the substitute question of “What is my Birthday” decided the round. And the winner is: We Won’t Win … (because team Mad Dog called me old…jerks).
After team Mad Dog bought me a drink to apologize, on to Round 3, with presidents of the US, Tornado Alley, and those loveable Monkees! An early setback to The Gods of Wrong Answers with a flip-flopped answer on the 3rd and 4th presidents upset and disappointed many, but that didn’t stop them from drinking … a lot, as team Mad Dog pulled into a slight lead early in the round. However, after the Grab Bag we found ourselves with a 3 way tie, the best kind of tie. With a phenomenal knowledge of the length of the Mississippi, the winner of the final round is Mad Dog.



Star Wars Fact of the Day: If you listen closely during the Mos Eisley shoot-out (just before the Falcon takes off), there is a brief musical cue from 70s arcade phenomenon Pac-Man.
Signing off, this is Preacher.
