Gourmands, I love you, but you're freaking me out.
In a bar full of educated, cultured individuals such as yourselves, especially in the midst of a pub quiz that I know full well has been run more than competently all these months by Dear Leader Patrick, I ask you, how is it possible that the finest among you are unfamiliar with the concept of a Jagg-Off? And what's more, I beg an explanation for the fact that even upon my elucidation of the time-honored practice of the Jagg-Off, I saw no flash of recognition on the faces of Lane or Andres, representing their respective teams in a second-place tiebreaker. No sudden cottoning to my meaning, followed by a pursing of the lips or a waggling of outstretched fingers. No enthusiastic gyrating of manly hips. In fact, The Yeezus Disciples's ultimate second-place victory was decided not by Lane pulling an Adam Levine and showing us his best iteration of Sir Mick's moves, but by the same generic booty shaking one might find in any of these Friday-night clubs of the MTV generation. It's not that I don't appreciate your effort, Lane. Your performance won over your fellow quizzers and your prize was legitimately earned. But I believe there's room for improvement.
Incredibly, our round on sports infractions proved easier for last night's quizzers than our round on events of the 1990s. Sports rounds are notoriously difficult for the Geeks Who Drink faithful, but apparently both the Gourmands crowd and the patrons of my own venue are more savvy than the average bear. Plus, Round Four gave us all the opportunity to share visions of sports bra-encased volleyball boobs dancing in our heads. Ain't nothin' wrong with that, unless you're Patrick Ross.
I hope to see you all again, perhaps once I've organized a Jagger-oriented dance seminar and gathered your names from your quizmaster so that I might remedy what is clearly a gaping hole in your collective knowledge of the world. Don't forget to check the Facebook page!

Here are six things we learned tonight:
1. When we have an audio round titled "Do What Mac Daddy Told You to Do: a Round in Memory of Chris Kelly", at least one of the songs will be Kris Cross with "Jump."
2. Eartha Kitt is purr-fectly awesome. Check out "I Wanna Be Evil" when you get a chance. She succeeded (and exceeded, in my humble opinion) Julie Newmar as Catwoman, after all.
3. Christopher Llyod isn't a very good Klingon unless they have metal fillings for teeth on Qo'noS (the Klingon home world).
4. Loreen's got the power to make ya love.
5. Kellan may or may not resemble my favorite porn star.
6. Speaking of power, I should always adjust the brightness on my laptop to conserve power.
Until next week, stay safe, happy, and drunk!

Things we learned tonight:
1. Jennifer Lawrence is not Bret Mycles, nor is she Bret Michaels or Demi Moore.
2. Women's sports gets a horrible rap and this denegration is a lingering reminder of the misogyny in our culture.
3. Yo' mama's so health-conscious, she made you eat lots of vegetables and exercise regularly when you were a kid.
4. The subjunctive is your friend when making fun of a Quizmaster in your team name.
5. We don't care that the 18th team tonight came during Round Four or that I had to "persuade" them to play. They still beat two other teams who left early.
6. Y is not a vowel.
Thanks so much for joining us tonight. Until next week, stay safe, happy, and drunk!
