Silence. Close your eyes, and think about silence. Talk about silence, and kill the silence. Talk about hypothermia - the silent killer. Talk about hypochondria. You don't have hypothermia. Talk about the silence again. Be quiet so I can hear you talk about the silence. Now, open your eyes.

Confused? Not nearly as confused as we were at Wednesday's pub quiz while trying to figure out the answer to MegHan Solo's final round, her first ever common bond round. Luckily one team was thinking clearly. The Bervis Kaufman Fan Club saw through MegHan's trickery and figured out that she had deftly worked word play into the common bond - all of the answers had silent H's just like her. Although the rest of us all felt like chumps, we still had fun, and that's the important thing. (Getting the common bond is important, too.) MegHan's other rounds were about villains and war quotes, and they were both very good and very unconfusing. Fun fact: she requested that I do the war quotes round no less than three times before giving up and doing it herself.

The rest of the night was classic IRCPQ all the way. Dr. Jordan did a round of James Bond movie poster identification, an 80s movie music round which included James Bond movies, and a round about alternate professions that included the very James Bond-ian Hedy Lamarr. Random Chaos won for the night, and they won the monthly prize for the second time in a row. If they don't show the Quizmasters' Cup a good time this month we're all going to be very upset.

Now in honor of the silent H, for the rest of the recap I will avoid using the letter H entirely...

See you next week!
