Staring into the fog outside my window, I'm made aware of the fog inside my head. Perhaps you, like me, are having trouble remembering just how amazing last night's pub quiz was. (Hint: It was quite amazing.) Luckily, I took excellent notes throughout the evening so I could record the events in the annals of trivia history that is this website. Unluckily, I must have thrown them away so I'm just going to make stuff up. Just remember that what you are about to read does not even come close to the level of awesome that we achieved last night.

After we cleared away the debris from the unicycling grizzly bear and OJ's flaming hula hoop trick, we got right into a round on original company names. Did you know that Pepsi was once known as Brad's Drink? After that was place names in songs, wherein Kokomo was the place where you wanted to go. And then, what round about famous guitarists would be complete without a question about Keith Richards snorting his father's ashes with his cocaine.

Oh, and did I mention that there was a lot of beer chugging mixed in with all those questions?*

After the smoke break we had some pretty good scores, and as much as OJ and I wanted to just award a prize and go home we pressed on. The second half was defined by the rising tension of rounds 4 (Disney Trivia) and 5 (World's Fairs) as we progressed toward the ever-present common bond round. OJ went all elitist on you with his common bond all about colleges with basketball teams in the NCAA tournament. I believe the Ice Road Truckers Cumming Across Seaman Lake** aced this one, which brought them up to a tie for first place with Inwood Nation.

For the tiebreaker, the two teams had to demonstrate their knowledge of Silly Putty, Main Streets, and Spaghetti Os. Inwood Nation proved that they knew more and, for the first time in their long and storied time at the IRCPQ, they walked away with a gift certificate to the Indian Road Café. Congratulations, guys.

Also, I was happy to see some semblance of a Bunny Slippers team last night, kind of a Franken-bunny team if you will***, but a more complete team will be with us soon I hope. Original Recipe Jordan**** was in attendance last night, and though he tried to drink as much as possible, it didn't help Ides of Trivialis get a win for the night. The bar area did seem rather empty last night, though. I wonder where Random Chaos was - I hope they were out taking a picture of themselves with the Quizmaster's Cup.

Thanks to everyone for filling the house yet again, and I hope this recap helped clear away the fog. Take care, and see you next week.

* - I didn't need to? Oh.

** - Trucker elitists!

*** - Will you?

**** - Is OJ Extra Crispy?
