I’m never going to question my team members’ spelling again.\u00a0 Last night we had a trivia question: “Which party are Tony Blair and current British PM Gordon Brown members of?”\u00a0 I wrote “Labor” and handed it to my teammate Eric to hand in.\u00a0 He corrected it to “Labour,” causing several team members and me to complain, “Oh, come on, Eric, he’s not going to be that picky about the spelling.”<\/p>\n

The Rapscallions won, beating the St. Jude team by only one point.\u00a0 They ran over to compare scorecards.\u00a0 “Pete the Trivia Guy gave us an extra point for spelling ‘Labour’ right,” they told us.\u00a0 Then I realized if Eric hadn’t corrected our spelling, we would’ve missed out on the extra point, and been forced into a tie-breaker with the St. Jude team.\u00a0 Great job, Eric!<\/p>\n

Thanks to the win, we now have $320 in Saucer money to spend, plus another $150 across the street at Jillian’s.\u00a0 We’re going to be some drunk people by the end of the night when we have our party.<\/p>\n

I should’ve got to the Saucer earlier… when I arrived at 6:30, I learned that I had missed bartender Brittney fall off the bar by about 5 minutes.\u00a0 She had climbed up there to change something on the chalkboard above the bar.\u00a0 Old Lazy-Ass was so unfamiliar with the concept of “work” that she fell.\u00a0 They should’ve told her, “Brittney, stand around and talk to people while someone else updates the chalkboard.”\u00a0 That she could’ve handled.<\/p>\n

While there, I noticed a flyer saying that The Dempseys will be playing the Saucer Thursday night!\u00a0 Yay… attn consulting clients, I won’t be available before 10 AM Friday as a result.\u00a0 I wonder if Brad is able to sing again?\u00a0 He had a throat operation and couldn’t talk for two weeks, and couldn’t sing for six.\u00a0 Another of my favorites, Snozberry, plays the Saucer Saturday night.<\/p>\n
