Holy crap you guys, it's been a full year since we began this journey together. There were highs, higher highs and outright moments of pure bliss. If I were to attempt to count on my fingers and toes how many times we chuckled together, stared meaningfully into each other's eyes, and/or groaned after a particularly epic pun run, I'd run out virtually instantly and spend the rest of my natural life trying to remember how many times I'd counted the same phalanges.
What I'm trying to say is I love each and every one of you and shit's only gonna get more and more real.
OK, I went a little overboard, let's get back to the quiz. The die was cast, the rubicon was crossed, and fates were sealed after two titans of quiz locked horns in the first three rounds and both refused to relent. #oldballz continues their open rebellion, in an attempt to sweep the Rumble in the Pub, clearly not Ging an F about their relative proximity to Denver, Colorado. However, the Upchuckernauts continue to be a thorn in their side, refusing to abdicate their throne.
Hot on both their heels we had Spoiler Alert: Hodor says Hodor, Chowda Gunz and The Sex Bob-Ombs. The War of the Five Teams rages throughout the realm without an end in sight.
OK, I've just received word that the Game of Thrones quiz is over and I need to switch gears. The Westeros references are growing irrelevant and I need to start Bluth-ifying my post. I'm going into a chrysalis over the next week to figure out my life and hopefully emerge as a more culturally germane gentleman. No touching...

Holy crap! What a quiz?! Not only were we vying for our usual i.e. ultimate victory, but tonight we had a Quiz for a Cause! Tonight's philanthropic venture? Utah AIDS Foundation. Each team was asked, not required, to cough off $5 per person and what happened? Y'all delivered in a major way. Cash was flowing in a very serious manner.
Now granted, the teams who were donating were told, if you were to win the quiz, you will get your $5 back... specifically $5 per team that donated.
So was it personal gain that drove each team tonight? Well, I can't speak for everyone, but the victors tonight, #oldballz, took their winnings and flung it right back in the pot for the UAF. That's class, ladies and gentlemen, and that's what we promote here at Gracie's every Tuesday. UAF has a fundraising walk coming up and I assume all of you will be there.
I would be remiss if I didn't state that the race for second place was a doozy. The "Yo I'll Solve It"s rose to prominence in a pivotal round 8, dislodging Watermelon Desperados from their 2nd place roost.
That aside, I would assume we're all still reeling from the events of Sunday, e.g. that which took place on Game of Thrones. Either you know what i'm talking about or you don't. Either way, figure it out and join us on Saturday for the Game of Thrones themed quiz. I've got my best Brienne in the bear pit gown picked out and it would be all for naught if all of you didn't gaze upon it.
I love you all so much.

And who are you, the proud team said,
that I must score so low?
Only a group of different geeks,
that's all the trivia I know.
On a team of dorks or a team of nerds,
a quiz team still knows facts.
And mine are specific and useless, my lord,
as specific and useless as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that team of Quiztamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his team,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his team,
and not a geek to hear.
It finally happened. #oldballz usurped the throne, and the realm has been thrown into chaos. The tattered remnants of Banana Sluggernauts sought refuge in the riverlands to avoid total annihilation.
1 point! 1 point separated the winners and losers tonight, my friends. One cannot rest upon one's laurels. Keep calm, don't panic and carry on.
A hell of a quiz tonight. Everybody was in their top form. A double point visual round threw most everyone for a loop, but in the end the victors stood tall.
As we huddled in the shelter of Gracie's, avoiding the storm, calmed with nachos and ale, dynasties rose and fell. Le roi est mort, vive le roi!

P.S. I love you all so much. I can't wait for next Tuesday. Hopefully it will be sunny.
P.P.S. Also, check out this insane clip from Back to the Future III.
