Pub Trivia Night
We already have 17 signed up!!
In a stunning gesture of self sacrifice, Alan Schultz agrees to take Steve Favorite on his team, ... so crisis averted. He still needs to get Carrie's approval, so it could still be iffy, and no, you don't get a free dinner for taking Steve. Everyone is now free to select whoever they want on their team.
On another note, I've sold 4 tickets to Jersey Boys in the last 2 weeks, so .... WE ARE SOLD OUT !!
But, ... we have a tricky situation. Steve Favorite and his wife, Kim have signed up for Pub Trivia Night. If you remember, I said we cannot have Steve picked last for a team. Well, I checked with the classmates registered, and ... nobody wants him. Alan Schultz said he and Carrie will take Kim. Of course you will, Kim's good at this. Steve is out of town so he won't be reading this. I give Steve a lot of grief on this website, so I've decided I'll take him. I'll see if I can get my wife's approval this week, ... last week, she was ... nay nay. If there is anyone willing to join this team, could you let me know, ... I shouldn't have to do this by myself. Anyway, I did tell him that the teammate answering the fewest questions, buys dinner, so there may be some consolation. P.S. He's not good at celebrity questions. Last time he thought Cardi B was a medical instrument.
We meet for dinner at 6:15pm, the game starts at 7:30 pm and is usually over at 9pm. It will test all the eclectic thoughts you have in your head, even if you only have one, or don't know what eclectic means. Do you have to be smart to come? Kinda, but we work as a team, ... for example, if Steve Favorite is on your team and he doesn't know anything about astronomy, hopefully you'll have someone on your team who does. Let's say Steve Favorite doesn't know anything about math, hopefully you'll have a Bob Haar type on your team ( Bob's not coming, he's in New Zealand ), and if Steve Favorite doesn't know anything about history because he skipped all those classes, well, you'll need someone on your team that didn't skip classes, ... Jeanne Fletcher would be a good choice. See how this works. ... . We reserve a large space, so we're all fairly close together, and, after dinner, we can split into teams of 4-6 classmates. Now, we, who have participated before know the smart ones. For instance, Janet Westerlund was a teacher so she's going to be like a #1 draft pick for whatever team she's on, so as you get to the restaurant, ... scope out where Janet is standing, ... and scoop her up. Other brainy notables to scoop up, ... Margie, Linna, Margo, Tony, Linda, Sue, Linda, Mary, ... but, Linna, Margo, & Tony don't usually come, ... intimidated no doubt. Now, in order to spare his feelings, some team is going to need to choose Steve Favorite, and lets don't have him be the last choice. Nuff said. But, an interesting person to recruit to your team may be Pat McCune. She has thrown her hat into the ring early, and is preparing even now .... because this is her first Pub Trivia Night.

In what could be a precedent setting action, Sue Akers, the editor of our school newspaper, Smoke Signals, I think was it's name, reports that Pat is surreptitiously convening a series of morning coffee klatches at Foghorn Coffee in Port Angeles, in order to mine the Port Angelenos of their random thoughts and suck every bit of knowledge from their brains. It's kinda reminiscent of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but, it's their minds. So, if you're in a risky mood, you might choose Pat, and her Port Angeleno combined intellect. Ya know, on the other hand, I think you should stay as far away from Pat as you can. Once something like this is uncovered, lots of additional rumors arise. Sue also reports there is no truth to the rumor that Sheila Page is convening a similar group at Bukowskis Pub in Belmont, MA. Sue says we really don't know what she's doing there most mornings. There also is no truth to the rumor Kevin Murray said he is smarter than Steve Favorite, ... he actually said, "Steve is dumber than me". Sue does report that because these classmates were able to answer a couple of Jeopardy TV questions, we may see a wave of Whidbey Islanders at Trivia Night. Sue reports they're kinda cocky, ... surly almost. I say we put them all on their own team to humble them.
Remember, in order to reserve our space, we're going to need you to fill out the Pub Trivia Night Survey on the top of the left hand menu if you're planning to come, ... which you should, ... plan to come.
Cost is $2 per person. There are cash prizes, so you might go home with cash in your pocket. You don't want to miss this, we always have a great time. Check out the menu:
