Is there a better way to beat the heat than chugging some beer, jotting down some trivia answers and chatting with your teammates? No, there isn’t. I’m the quizmaster, so what I say is correct and I say, no.

Last night’s heat-beating quiz featured a send-off to long-time Trivialis team member PJ, who will spend the next four months travelling around South America, trying to convince various governments to grant asylum to Edward Snowden. We’re not sure how PJ got charged with that task. Nevertheless, we wish him well and we hope he sends us lots of pictures. Also, we hope his hangover this morning isn’t too painful.

I’m sure his team’s domination of our questions and that cool $25 gift certificate eased the pain this morning.

We also celebrated Brenda’s 30th birthday, which is actually today. I wish we were more clever than simply making them chug, but we’re not. We reserve our cleverness for our questions, which we ask at a different pub quiz.

So, what happened last night? You might want to ask The Real Trivialis. They have all the answers. They made mincemeat of my rounds about parks, mythology and a common bond about bears. They also walked on the face of Dr. J’s rounds about instruments, Ancient Greece, and the brain.

Thanks everyone for playing. Join us again next week. Also, if you’re still reading, join us Saturday evening at the Evil Mr. Phil’s. He’s moving and needs people to empty his liquor bottles. If you need details, just leave a comment here or on our Facebook page.
