Last night featured yet another bar trivia victory for Team Awesome a.k.a. any team with ME on it. Actually, I didn't have much to do with the victory, as team captain Tricia assembled a killer squad of diverse brainiacs who did our best to most definitely bring sexy back... to Tuesday night bar trivia.
The eeriest moment of the night came when the question was asked "Including the Gulf of Mexico as an ocean, how many states are touching an ocean?" One of our team members Mat, who apparently was (no joke) the national Whig party vice presidential candidate at one point, took literally about 2.67 seconds to calculate and came up with the correct answer. The boy knows his United States. It was genuinely astounding in its Rainman-esqueness.
While he raced the correct and ultimately winning answer up to the host, we played the whole "distract the other teams" game by loudly pretending to work out the answer: "Let's see, there's British Columbia, New Blumberg, Tirry Tarry and don't forget about the Commonwealth of Boobytown." The joke was on them - Boobytown is actually a district, not a commonwealth.
Anyone want to go for the correct answer without use of the internet? As always, we're on the honor system here.
