Saint As Paul

The Minnehaha AllStars took the field for our first shot at Keegans Pub's Thursday Trivia contest. Saint Paul, from Fraters Libertas, reports the events with a spin that'd do Paul Begala proud.

We didn't win, but we did better than I thought we would - I expected to finish dead last, so I consider the night a resounding moral victory.

Saint starts:

Perhaps the biggest challenge of all came from Mitch Berg who recruited a team composed of the finest intellects in the greater Midway area to challenge us. (Their team, named the Minnehaha All Stars, was comprised of Berg, Anoka Flash from Centristy, PJZ from Tacitus, and an unnamed gentleman introduced to me as only "a doctor" who I assume was Mitch Berg's psychiatrist).

Actually, he's pretty accurate so far.

Then he steers into the weeds:

They fought valiantly, but despite their efforts and pre-game bravado...

Whoa, there.

There was no bravado. We're a new franchise. We're following the long-term plan, here.

they too felt the wrath of the brains of the Fraters Libertarians.

Wasn't that an MST3K episode?

I trust there's no hard feelings and hope they show up again for the game. But from the looks on their faces after the results were revealed, I suspect they may be wearied by the enormity of the task they face.

The only thing that made me weary was eating the immense helping of onion, tomato and mushroom boxty I bought before the game. Yummy!

No, the Allstars will be back - Flash, Doc, and...who? Could it be Thorley Winston from Tacitus? Perhaps Wog from Wog's Blog? Perhaps...?

We'll see. In two weeks. Be there.
