After at least a month of nonstop offers for ANYONE to DJ the quiz via their ipod, last night I had no less than three ipods to contend with. When Walter of Ewok Bath House beat out JZA of Jonesy's and @dramamind fame, homedude up and left.
I swear JZA, Walter beat me to it. I didn't know you were even waiting. But I guess even if I did, he still beat you to it. So just to clarify: if you want to DJ the quiz, make sure you're the first one to hand me your ipod. I usually roll up @colfaxsnug between 7:30 and 7:40. Preference will go to players who've never guest DJ'd before, which is still most of you. If you give me your iphone I reserve the right to change your background pattern and your ringtones.
So, big news last night was the tie for second and third. I called for a danceoff only because it's been, what, six months since the last one. Jesus and Tequila (playing as Tijuana Bible Scholars) wasted no time in forfeiting. Simply put, they won't dance. In fact, Tequila even offered to put $20 of his own cash into a wage for the first place prize money if it was settled the usual way, via runoff question. Touched By An Uncle, however, wasn't having it.
Alas, no dance off.
A quick word about The Hobbit. It makes me sad that no one knows anything about this. It's part of the nerd canon people! And these weren't even particularly hard hobbit questions. The classical music round I can understand there being plenty of goose eggs, but you really didn't know that Bilbo was the burglar? C'mon!
Enough scolding. For now. Here's some photos:
See you on Tuesday. Happy Holiday to you and your kin. I'm off to the Albuquerque, a city where no matter where you are the sun is totally blinding.

As for unholy alliances, it's not like the SBs have been winning lately and GWD is all about being social and having fun. And having Matt around to ace the Hobbit round for us.
Why can't you befriend teams who are, how you say, more challenged?
Also, you're not — and I'm referring to the SBs — playing your designated role as my whipping boy(s).
Also, for the record, Julio and Rob were totally planning to play as a duo but I batted my eyelashes at them until they relented. Didn't you notice that they even gave up their favorite table?
Still, wasn't that exciting last night? Reminds me of the time Master P was eliminated on Dancing With the Stars because he couldn't answer some questions about Proust. Wait, that never happened, because it would be an insanely stupid way to decide a fucking dance competition.
A hearty thanks to Dicker, for pulling this Solid Gold crap on one of our few competitive weeks. Please think of something non-trivia-related for our next run-off, which should come around by next July or so. You owe us $20. And keep that dancing shit in Aurora.
As for TBAU: Jesus Christ, folks. Your wild-eyed dedication to living on the razor's edge is a sight to behold. What's next? Whole milk in your latte instead of skim? We'll dance on your graves, you cowards.
