Wednesday started off auspiciously. Phil ate his free dinner, drank his free beer and then left, abandoning the quiz. Superman arrived in the guise of Jon Wunder. He quickly whipped up three rounds of trivia. They were about TV shows, ice cream, and a common bond about an Alice Walker novel. How abstruse. But, what do you expect from a superhero. Anyway…

Thank you, Superman! We love you!

We also needed to rouse Dr. Jordan to save us with his microphone. Despite Superman’s powerful lungs, we wouldn’t have been heard over the din of the cafe’s ambient sound, which we assume is just people wondering where Phil went.

Which is a good point. Phil goes out, Jon comes in. Hmm. Seems strange, doesn’t it? Has anyone ever actually seen those two in the same place at the same time? I didn’t think so. That would defy the laws of physics.

I had rounds too. Rounds written by us commoners. They were by request and they were on California, American literature, and people with glasses.

An excellent win for Hot Dogs! Ice Cream! Seaman! Cumming! who suddenly have a lead for the month. Join us for the last week of July on the last day of July to see if they maintain their lead and to play six more rounds of trivia.

Once again, thank you, Superman.
