We're #2, we try harder

That's a famous advertising line from AVIS in the mid 60's. I learned that in advertising at UF.

We came in second place at trivia night. Two points away from first. If we had known that Nancy Sinatra sang "you only live twice" or Tina Turner sang "Goldeneye" we would have won. Or if we had known "Dano's" last name on Hawaii 5-0 was Williams.

We had a perfect second half. Didn't miss one question and bet all 16 points that you are allowed to bet on the final question. Unfortunately so did the other team. This was the team with the bald guy, but they had reinforcements tonight. They had at least 8 people (twice as much as us) and one of them must have really known their stuff, because I know the bald dude doesn't. How do I know? Because whenever he's been there before they've never even been close. And there were some un-manly answers..like "Call Me" was the theme to American Gigolo and "Barbara" and "Julie" were the kids on "One day at a time". The week we had the problem with him, you can see in one of my pics that it's just him and two others at the table and they got destroyed. So good for him for finding a friend that knows some stuff.

So we came up 2 points shy of winning it all for the 4th straight week. I guess now that we just won a measly 20 bucks, it might be the perfect time to try a new restaurant if our team so desires. I wonder if other restaurants can handle the power of Mind Bullets?

A few highlights:

1. Dotcom kicked her own ass in billiards before anyone arrived.

2. I have a busy weekend for once. Well...just certain parts will be. There will be large chunks where I'm doing nothing. (Saturday and Sunday day, nights are booked)

3. JBH wanted to be classy and congratulate the other team, but DVDguy wanted no part of that and I agree. ANY other team that would be fine. But a team with a total jerk who acts like an ass.....no.

4. I pissed off the host because I'm a fool that will do whatever dotcom asks me to. The music was really loud. He wasn't happy to be asked that it be turned down just a tad. Dotcom could have intimidated him more.

5. The whole freakin' place knew that Marty Mcfly ordered a "tab" and "pepsi-free" in Back to the Future for some reason.

6. We finished with 84 points, the winning team had 86. I don't think any other team was even close, and there were a lot of teams. Also, most of the other teams had a minimum of 8 people at their table. We were just 4. But we really only missed a couple questions.

7. One team finished with negative one points.

8. Dvdguy's vehicle is falling apart on him. I picture him in a few weeks in something that resembles what Buford T. Justice was driving by the end of one of the Smokey films where the top had been cut off and wheels were wobbly, etc.
