Trivia Night 2/7



Ok, so we didn't move up to 5th like I had promised, but we did place 8th out of 31 teams. It should have been 7th place because we learned that the second place team, a team with no one younger than 30, had 11 players and a current newspaper to aid them on the sports trivia (they were all Zoids). Although this is supposedly strictly forbidden (team size is limited to 5), this did not stop them from taking the prize money for 2nd place. Rest assured, though, that we made it known that Team Paton was not pleased. Anywho, here is a review and ranking of the individual performances:

1) Jaimie - Owned the Music round
2) Garth - Single handedly could have secured us a top 3 finish if not for Mora (see #5 below)
3) Moto - Came up with the hilarious and highly accurate description of the cheater team (discussed above), "30 times 30", and also answered a few questions.
4) Me - Got us off to a great start by knowing that there are more mice than any other mammal in the United States. It seemed like the obvious answer after this.
5) Mora - Succeeded in locking us out of 5th place for 3 reasons: she refused to write "Planet Earth" for the location of a particular restaurant; she confused The Passion of the Christ with The Count of Monte Cristo; she refused to argue that the number 20 is located on the $20 bill. Awful.
NR) Meghan - Stopped by for one round and couldn't even identify Kurt Vonnegut's picture, despite working at a book store.

I felt it necessary to post a comment in my defense, although I fully admit to the confusion on the picture page (oops) and the shutting down of Garth's antics (that never would have worked anyway) I do want to make a case that I DID in fact contribute to our 8th place finish. Need I remind you of the Louis Armstrong pull and Jevon Kearse worth 3 points.....admit it I helped. I have high hopes for us next week!!!!
