In my trivia career I have played on three teams, and I outperformed two of them (by far) as a team of one tonight at the Saucer.  The only team that has been able to add to my individual prowess is the RAPSCALLIONS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; So, Rapscallions: when you meeting me up at the Saucer for Trivia night?  Tuesday, 7 pm.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; One note:  CARMEL: if there are any questions about tube tops, you don&#8217;t get a vote on the answer<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Bring Mr. Date Guy though, we can always use another professor.  My team name tonight, since I was by myself, was &#8220;Professor Paul&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I hit my goal of 150 beers tonight.  After this I will slow down dramatically since almost all of the remaining beers are $8+.  It will probably be over a year before I get my plate on the wall.  I&#8217;ll have a free hat waiting on me on my next visit though<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I&#8217;m 1 for 1 on questions regarding Romania.  The question:  In 2001, Great Britain beat Romania 134-0 in what sport?  The answer: rugby.  I&#8217;m hardly an expert on Romania, though.  In fact, I&#8217;d like to get to know Romania more intimately.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Other questions:  Which country&#8217;s citizens get the most vacation days, on average?  It sure as FUCK isn&#8217;t the US, where many companies give employees a week&#8217;s vacation after a year, which is nothing less than torture in my opinion.  I guessed Germany, but the correct answer was Italy, with 42 days.  I think anything less than 4 weeks a year, even for first-year employees, is less than acceptable.  Someone give me startup capital!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Another one:  4th most populous nation in the world, now that the Soviet Union has broken up.  I put down Russia and KNEW I was wrong.  And I was.  It&#8217;s Indonesia. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I can&#8217;t think of anything else to say<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Which reminds me of the Sex Pistols remake of &#8220;Johnny B. Goode&#8221;:  &#8220;Ahhhhhhhh ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya&#8230; oh fuck&#8230; I can&#8217;t remember the words&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. Johnny B. Goode&#8221; &#8230; one of the few remakes that was better than the original<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Another one was Sid Vicious&#8217; (the rock star, not the wrestler)&#8217;s remake of &#8220;My Way&#8221; &#8211; on the same CD&#8230; his remake of &#8220;Something Else&#8221;, originally by Eddie Cochran, was good too<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; All right, time to fold laundry, pay bills, then head back out for another beer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I&#8217;m estimating my blood alcohol content at .11.  Good thing I don&#8217;t drive when I do this, huh?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Bye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those not in the know: the Rapscallions were a No. 10 Main team who showed up at Trivia Night at TJ Mulligan&#8217;s back in January, never having played trivia before, and we placed 4th out of 16 teams &#8211; So I went to the Saucer tonight (big surprise) for their trivia night.
