One wonders what the questions will be.

My fave would be "how many times has the monorail been on SLOG", followed by "what is SLOG's favorite color".

Aislinn, I would love to be on your team, I rock trivia, but I have to be at the Theo Chocolates place for their Mother's Day evening until 8. (I will be serving tea, if anyone has moms.)

So, unless they respond in the affirmative, I'm calling Scary Tyler Moore and Greg, and considering this team closed.

But we'll all be legitimately drunk by that point. So you'll want to bring some shooters with you to pound in the car on your way.

I'm sad that you're missing trivia :(

And Greg, that was presumptuous of me: you can, of course, opt to be on another team. That would be a mistake, but it's your choice to make.

Maybe I'll just be the drunk guy egging everyone else on.

And seriously, I am NOT going to AGAIN pay $15 for an order of fish-and-chips, sorry Mr. Fish Fry Guy.

Maybe I'll just sneak something in from Ballet instead.

I'm sad I'm missing trivia too. :( I enjoy useless information. And it's the day before my birthday, so I would get to say "woo! It's almost my birthday!" a lot.

Greg- I will totally bring tea samples. I should just show up to Slog events with loads of tea samples each time, I have access to enough of it...

Since Bellevue Ave and Mikki will be there in time, and I asked them first (well, I asked Poe very first, then Fnarf), I can't have Scary Tyler Moore or Greg. If either of you end up being on other teams that beat mine, well... I'll cry.

I pretty much bomb trivia, unless they happen to ask questions about computer programming, math, or general science, but in my defense I did pretty much nail the section about Jerry Seinfeld's girlfriends at fado a few weeks ago.

Any takers?

Sure have missed whatever shit has been slung about Obama and his choice of pastors? Does anyone remember Billy Graham dissing the Jews to Tricky Dick. My bonafides include a one-day win of $22,500 on a prominent quiz show, but that was back in 1991 well before the Slog was invented by Samuel Finley Breese Morse. Hit me up if you think we're a fit. I am also a social alcoholic.

Wait. I forgot. Slog Happy is always a sausage fest and the 7 or so ladies within 10 years of my age are all in relationships. Oh well. Trivia domination, drunkeness and tear-lubricated masturbation happen to me pretty much every night, why should Thursday be different?
