Kwaheri. Vale. Das vidaniya.

The girl with the hair.

Yes, this is goodbye...for now...I hope. last night was the last night that Barley Vine will be doing Geeks Who Drink, meaning this is the first time I have been completely unemployed in my 5 year college career. I am now going to embrace that status as a 'full-time college student', whatever that may entail. But enough about me, more about last nights quiz.

No noobs last night. Every team had some badge of GWD honor to take with them into the final quiz. Though, that doesn't mean we didn't have some questionable moments. Actually... Dancing Armadillo's entire quiz last night was a questionable moment. I believe there was 1 real answer to every 4 facetious. They completely bowed out by round 8, and just gave me some answers to chuckle about. In contrast, Slyvia Plath's Easy Bake Oven just handed in half blank sheets.

For those of you who were wondering what the hell we were asking you for question 6 of round 8, here's the origin of your answer.

I think round 5 proved that all the political scandal drudgery has muddled together into one big orgy of sex and drugs, leaving us unable to differentiate one douche from another.

But as far as how we all did, Dancing Armadillo's left in the only position they've ever know, which is last. So I gave them a consolation prize for always coming and trying at the very least. Sylvia managed 4th, losing by a single point to the ever so originally named team Scandal Face. And team Awesome proved that brain power is much stronger than man power, beating the Brain Tornado for first.

I do hope last night left a bittersweet taste for GWD in your mouth, enticing you to find more venues in the area to hope on the Geek wave. Until I find a new quizmastering home; take care and maybe I'll see you all at the next best trivia nights.

Faithfully yours,

Michelle

And so it goes...

The girl with the hair.

A lovely and intimate night of geekery last night. The lack of competition certainly worked in some returning teams favor, whose track records have been sub par. But some of you guys are hopeless.

Amongst last nights highlights:

-No; the bible was not written in 1993 and feature Robert Langdon running around Europe.

-Many of you didn't care for high school english, and also have a very strange idea of what the premise of many children's books are.

-Detroit is considered 2013's most miserable city... but anywhere in New Jersey was probably the runner up.

The fight for 3rd was mostly between McHugh's and Brace, but the McHugh's wouldn't let up and let the returning veterans have the sweet taste of mediocre victory. Third Wheelin' got to know what it feels like to be on top, may it have been for passing moments throughout the evening. Unfortunately, they pulled second to the noob team Awesome.

Well until next week...

P.S. Blog is a reference to Vonnegut's Slaghterhouse-Five. Seriously. Read it.

A Big Night for Beluga's

The girl with the hair.

Yes, if it were up the Retino-Ski-Sos, beluga whales would truly be the center of the universe. After their memory was reminded about their affliction for beluga whales upon recalling Raffi's "Baby Beluga"(you're welcome in advance for the video(here's another great one)), that seems to be all they could think of. According to them, beluga's are the largest terrestrial carnivore in the world, had a role in Harry Potter, and authored the book "The Basketball Diaries."

Happy that all your elementary school teacher's drilled in the rule "I before E except after C" as I was disappointed that I couldn't demerit anyone for spelling on that round.

Our "Most Racist Moment" of the evening which was brought to you by.... those who could only imagine the audio clip from Flatliners to be from Precious. You even disregarded the theme of the round by putting Precious down (there is no way we would use the adjective precious to describe your mother).

Overall, last nights quiz was really touch and go (with the exception of Are You Finished With Those Errands?). We had a three-way [that's what she said] tie for first after round 3 and only a difference of a single point between most teams throughout the entire game. Ain't Nobody Got Time For That snagged 3rd place, and no... fresh or salt water was NOT the difference between thinking a crocodile was the largest terrestrial carnivore that spends most its time at sea. It was in fact a polar bear. March Madness managed to get 2nd place, although I must admit it was awfully rude not to offer your Quizmaster a slice of birthday cake. "Frayed" Knots found their missing piece and redeemed themselves by climbing back up to first place this week.

Didn't have anyone to give my e-mail bonus question prize to this week, so make sure you sign up for that at this link. And while you're at it... like us on Facebook so you can share the good times with your inter-web friends.

Catch you kids next week.
