Once wrestled gravity to the ground--and won. I know every word to ever Explosions in the Sky song. I devour planets and cupcakes. In the cupcake eating world they call me Galactus.

As a quizzer very astutely pointed out last night, no, I’ve never read a haiku before, which seemed to surprise some people, although I can’t imagine why. It’s not like I spend every weekend volunteering at the Japanese American Center or anything. Although I did receive rave reviews for my performance as the Abbott in Dojoji during the annual Northwest Noh Opera Festival.

Another equally astute quizzer pointed out that last night’s Round 2 (you know, the Jesus round) would be, ‘Oh my God, the worst thing ever.’ Which it really wasn’t, just kind of awkward, what with all the songs about how gays can’t marry and that Jesus wants you to vote Republican. At least that’s what I heard. And yet there’s something about Apologetix (I think that’s how you spell their name, I’m too indifferent to look it up) that I find undeniably appealing. It’s as if after a hard day of church band practice these guys all turned on the TV, saw a Weird Al video, and thought, ‘I think the Lord has shown us the way….’

Scores this week were somewhat anti-climactic. Basically The Crack City Rockers (the team formally known as Crack is Whack, now embracing the illicit substance they once stood against) killed it, then killed it, then killed it some more, finishing up with a daunting score of 74. Meanwhile it took two rounds of overtime questions between Sparkle Motion and Blood Cabin, to decide second place, with Blood Cabin pulling it out, allowing all of us to take a step back and question our commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Which Came First: Ska or My Hatred of Ska?

First off, fuck ska. Sorry for starting on such a negative thought, but seriously, fuck that shit. Fuck that shit in its black-and-white-checkered ass. And I’m not just saying that because it brings up so many painful memories. I don’t hate ska because back in ’98 I had my first full-scale legit make-out in the back seat of Jamie Skelton’s (name changed to protect the identity of dirty whores) sky-blue Nissan listening to Save Ferris’s debut album (the band who did the ‘Come On Eillen cover from last night). Sure it was great, except for two weeks later when she dumped me for some drummer in the school marching band. Marching band, really Jamie? Why not just hook with someone on the debate or academic team and complete my emasculation. So yeah, that’s why ska sucks (Except for the Specials; they were a’ight). And yes, I have no problem demonizing an entire genre of music based on events that really have nothing to do with the music in question. Don’t even get me started on Afro-Cuban Jazz.

Ska notwithstanding, last night’s quiz was possibly one of the highest scoring (read:easiest) quizzes in recent history. It’s hard to recall a night where we had so many perfect rounds, including Back and Forth Forever scoring 16 total points on Round 2—and then forgetting to joker. Just goes to show, nothing ever goes right when ska’s involved.

Speaking of the scores, as usual Round 8 was the deciding factor with only one point seperating Back and Forth Forever and The Corndoggers from quiz glory and a free bucket of Cornatos…canditoes...um…little Coronas. Back and Forth, however, used their knowledge of dwarf star classifications to narrowly edge out the ‘Dogs for first place.

They (and when I say ‘they’ I mean Ben Affleck) say that a man without fear is a man without love. Clearly ‘They’ have never hired a clown for a birthday party. I’ve often wondered what it must be like for those weekend warriors who put on the pancake makeup and long suspenders to bring joy and merriment to some rich brat’s birthday party for $15/hr and hopefully a slice of cake. On the one hand you know their intentions are pure (ok maybe not this guy). They squirt some kid in the face with a flower, zap another with a joy buzzer, and maybe crank out some balloon animals. It’s fun, it’s harmless, and gives them something to look forward to on Wednesdays when they’re sitting in a dull, colorless conference room listening to Rob from accounting describe the projections for next quarter.

On the other hand, everyone knows what clowns do to kids. Everyone knows the risks involved with having a clown at a birthday party. It’s an event that twenty years down the road a kid speak about in hushed tones while lying on a therapist’s couch. What I’m trying to say here is that, no Mom and Dad, I did not enjoy Beeker the Clown’s magic show on my seventh birthday. And Dr. Skolnick says I should forgive you, but I just can’t right now! Excuse me….

The outcome of this week’s quiz was never in much doubt as it was all about Russell Crow’s Illegitimate Bastard Children who jumped out to a big lead early and never looked back. C U Next Tuesday (See what they did there? Haha, so clever) made it interesting toward the end but still came up three points short. And big ups to 8th Place who, as if fulfilling some ancient prophecy, finished in, well, 8th place. It takes skill and determination to be that average and we salute them.
