Last Night I Went to "Geeks Who Drink" Trivia at a Bar

Don't remember the question, but the answer was "Melania", so I wrote down "Stupid fucking Melania tRump." I think I should have gotten extra points.

In the end, our team came in 10th out of 11.

1. Indeed.

2. Was any team called "I drink and I know things"?

Apparently that name is all the rage with British pub quiz teams after Tyrion on GoT.

3. Honestly, I had a lot of difficulty hearing most of what the woman leading the quiz said

This took place outside, so there was a lot of ambient noise. Plus, we were sitting rather far away. When she announced the winners of each round, I couldn't make out some of the names.

I'm going to remember that one, though. I had forgotten about Tyrion saying that.

4. Sounds like me watching Jeopardy. Except for the geek part.

5. I thought we were going to do better

But some of those questions were about pop culture in the last ten years. No way I have kept up! We needed someone young on our team. You're supposed to have no more than six people on a team. Well, one team had six adults and about five children. Of course they did well.

6. That's one of my weak topics too.

Bridezilla
Real Housewives
Zombie shit.
Pop culture sucks.
Now get off my lawn.

7. One day you just wake up and realize you're no longer hip

And with that comes a second realization that being hip is so lame you'd rather not be hip.

But, and this is a really big but, there was the opportunity to win free beer!

8. I'm old school man...

When culture goes retro I'll fit right in (if still living).
