A Winning Game Night
On Thursday, May 20, 'Gladstone's Games to Go' lapel buttons affixed to our breasts (well, the breast areas of our shirts), the members of my first Quizo team in six years or so ascended the stairs of Fergie's Pub and trounced the competition, winning a $50 bar credit.
Quizo is the long-running bar trivia competion held on Tuesday and Thursday nights at Fergie's. Well worth checking out. Our team, consisted of myself, dayjob colleagues T.C. McCafferty and Joel Ferris (visual genius behind 'Imodium Man: Your Diarrhea Hero'), and UsedWiggers Jeff and Kelly Lyons and was named (you have to name your team in honor of some current events topic) SIX FEET UNGER, a tribute to the recent demise of Tony Randall (Good one, Jeff!). We kicked some butt on questions including:
-What is the only English language anagram for REDUCTION?
-What was the name of the family on the sit-com "Growing Pains"?
-What was the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup?
Earlier that day, I passed a pre-interview vetting and was booked onto NPR's Weekend Edition to talk about GLADSTONE'S. It was a very happy day for me and games.
