Dem Phones

Guess where I'm at? Answering phones!! Too tired for Internet. 

And now it's Bronie hour. Jon's being all regal. It suits him well. 

Some Moments from First Hours

I'm calling an early night in an effort to supply the team with some energy later in the contest. Overall a very thrilling first night. Here's a few highlights:

• Totally got the 2nd question because the phone answer-er stuttered on Jeff  The whole living room just erupted.  We were also the only team to get it right.
• "we got fuckin', like, feng shui right now"
• "It's Ogre"
• "They've got a fucking rolodex"
• "We're on the improv team, we're ladies, you know how it goes"
• "I AM BARACK OBAMA" 
• Various other correct answers from guessing enough times (I got us into Ceasar from a weird Norwegian children's book, which was pretty exciting)

Looking forward to even more craziness to come! 

LIKE A BOSS

I just answered a trivia question WITHOUT USING A COMPUTER.  Still can't handle it.

TRIVIA BEGINS

Overseeing the start of the Great Midwest Trivia Contest. We're playing with Shrek Out of Ten 2: The Shrekoning.

Some quotes already:

• We might vomit. 
• We'll just cry in the money cup. 
• Don't cry yet.  Yet.  Yet.
• And general prostitution.
• I have such an erection right now.
• Well, my armpits are sweating, that's a female erection.
• Is the answer "The Big Unit Jizzbot?" [yes, it was.  That's how cool this contest is.]

Great Midwest Trivia Contest

So, I feel like now is the good time to introduce my pocket gnome friend. He's still got a shaky sense of identity, but after his weekend, I hope he will be a bit more secure. 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Trivia, it's an undeniably unique lawrence tradition.  It's the longest rinningn trivia contest, as it runs year round (on a technicality. The last years last question is next years first question) but it actively runs for 50 hours. This year Portia is a Trivia Master, which means she wrote questions and is announcing/running the radio broadcast of the event. Answers are phoned in (to volunteers on phone lines) and no one gets much sleep. 

This year the union street team is running out of comedy house, which is thankfully forcing  me to dive head first into this incredible tradition.
