What can I say? I mean that rhetorically, as I could say pretty much anything. Election night. Quiz time. Newbies. What to talk about?
Civility.
I'm not getting all philosophical on you. Okay, maybe just a bit. Just to say, all of the greatest things I've been involved with have involved teamwork and alliances. The more often you ask the question, "what can I do for others," leads to greater success. I've proposed alliances with competitors in business, and the result was more business for both, rather than canibalization of one.
It works.
I wouldn't fucking kid you about this.
It works.
I've seen a lot of posts hoping that "we can all get back to liking each other, regardless of our beliefs" and I do appreciate the sentiment. But sometimes we need to address what got us to that crazy place. To use a simple metaphor, it usually begins when someone wants to take all the marbles and go home.
What's in it for me? Why does he have what I wanted? Why haven't you given me what I asked for?
Maybe it's time to stop worrying about what you don't have, and think about what you can give or do to make things better for others.
Wow, that's some crazy deep shit, right? Maybe it's that I'm writing this way too tired, and I'm half-asleep in dreamland, with all these events of the day, week, month, year all rushing around in my brain. Mostly, a lot of crazy meta-shit of the past few hours. Forgive the cryptic nonsense, I don't want to make this a fuck-word-laden rant about anyone in particular.
I want everyone to stop and think for a while about what they really want. Then I want you to simulteneously ask someone for help, and offer to work with someone completely outside of their normal circle. Think about what you can do for others, and pursue that.
Anyways, it's been a good run, and I hope to see everyone involved in this quiz at Maggie's somewhere around our beautiful valley. Congrats to Team 50% chance of winning, and thanks to The Obomney Oreo - Mmmm cream filled for coming out.
Peace, love, and quizzes to everyone.

While many are repeating nonsensical "opinions" being spouted by morons, I'm sitting back and recognizing an incredible early Christmas gift.
LucasFilm is purchased by Disney!
Seriously, what can you say about this? "Oh no, now Disney will ruin Star Wars and Indiana Jones..." Yeah, George did that himself. We're talking about a guy who got lucky with a couple of franchises, but was too ignorant to get real help in writing decent films to carry on the legacy.
And let's look at Disney's recent accomplishments with another set of bought properties.
THE AVENGERS
You know, that movie that is #3 on the all-time worldwide total gross with 1.5 billion dollars.
The worst company who could ever own LucasFilm is LucasFilm. It's time that these stories get the treatment they deserve. I know they're already planning VII, VIII, and IX, but let's talk about a re-imagining of I-VI, amiright?
Anyways, congrats to Star Wars is now in "A Whole New World" for topping Jordan and the Amazeballs Trio for the win tonight.

I haven't been to Maggie McGee's since I was singing bad karaoke there in the mid-90s after performing at Desert Star Playhouse. Now it has spankin-new white walls, a big stage in the back, a second room, and a big sign outside so you actually know where the darned place is. Anywho is was great to be back and hosting an intimate quiz for three couples, er teams, whom started as one big team for a BIRTHDAY PARTY! How flattering!! The celebration included lots of delicious copper camels and the b-day boy winning most of the bonus questions, as rightfully deserved.
Boner Gravy Everywhere was schooling the rest until birthday boy's team It's My Birthday And I'll F*!*! If I Want To! came ahead in round eight. The most adorable 'team', Bon Jovi, trailed behind but had a cozy good time nonetheless.
Come back next Tuesday when Sir Nick (yes, that Nick) will be back with his original Quizmasterness. Thanks for a good time Maggie's!
