Good vibes all around at the Ballard Loft, the Happiest Quiz on Earth (tm)! We had a birthday in the house, which we celebrated by thinking the happy birthday song (the schedule was a little tight for singing). We had a tie for first place! The sudden death Big Lebowski round was inconclusive (between them, they couldn't guess even one of the zoomed-in teacher comments on Larry Sellers' History paper. Can you?) so we went on to Oscar nomination aggregates.

Angry Oil-Covered Pelicans know what they're talking about.

Austin's Finger. I don't think that's his finger.

Uninventive Generalists

The inimitable Ms. Supple from Uninventive Generalists wanted to rock out in her own space.

XX is pronounced "Ex-Sex". I guess I know what they did after the quiz.

Action shot of the sudden death round, which resulted in a 1-1 tie. This isn't soccer, people!

Narrow but impressive victory for Austin's Finger!
