Shot In The Dark: At the Feet of the Masters

At the Feet of the Masters

As the Fraters note today, it was another win for them at the Keegan's Trivia contest.

The Minnehaha Allstars didn't do so hot, but them's the breaks. It's a building season for us, and so we can content ourselves with a slow crescendo of trivia excellence. We'll let the Fraters continue to marinade themselves in their obvious, intense pride in their accomplishment, knowing exactly what pride cometh before.

And I'll invite them to compete with Wog and I at Old Mexico's NTN trivia contest, which one or the other of us usually goes four or five for six. Not to brag - that would not be humble.

Just saying - them that can, do individually. Them that can't, play short-bus trivia in teams of four.

Again - just saying.

So the gauntlet has now been picked up? Just checking. I'm don't want to trip on it or anything.

Ah Mitch. You truly are living up to your title as the James Carville of the Northern Alliance. I haven't seen this much spinning since that Tilt-a-Whirl ride at the State Fair.

You're not just moving the goal posts. You've torn them down and now are trying to pretend that you really wanted to punt the whole time.

Just remember. There's always next week.

Excuse me, that's "the Omar Bradley of the Northern Alliance" - unpreposessing, focused on the task at hand, sure not only of eventual victory, but the complete abnegation of the enemy.

Imagine that, after Kasserine Pass, instead of installing Bradley as commander, they'd gone with, say, Don King. That'd be you guys.

And there is no next week, because I'm out for the next two weeks.

Mitch,

There is no shame in admitting you got your clock cleaned by those Fraters freaks. I am pretty "edumacated" myself, and I wouldn't go anywhere near those guys in a trivia contest. So, Mitch, just admit it, and let it go. You'll feel better.

Well, that's my point; with my zen-like humility, I've already admitted to everything. There is no loss - which will make the eventual victory all the sweeter. If it happens - doubtful, of course, when going up against the undisputed masters of trivia. At Keegans.

Of course, if they wanna leave their little team and mix it up solo, old-school style at Ol' Mex - well, I'll believe THAT when I see it.
