Noted In Passing
I didn't think I was going to make it to Keegans last night, but a last-minute development got me there at...well, the last minute.
I ended up teaming up with Marcus Aurelius from The Attic, Jordan from The MAWB Squad,. and Barry from...well, he doesn't have a blog, so I'm at a loss as to how to describe him.
I didn't feel especially confident as the game wound to a close, and stepped out on the patio for a bit. I figured Jordan was yanking our chains when she came out and told us to get back in the bar, because we'd won.
I guess Jo doesn't yank chains. We won!
It was a fun win, too - partly because everyone had a part, all four of us coming with answers that stumped the other three, and partly because, well, beating the Fraters is always gratifying.
I stopped by the Frats' table later on; Chad the Elder looked a bit like Vince Lombardi dressing down a group of linemen that had dropped a block. I didn't bother them.
I'll have to try to get back to defend the title next week; the Fraters are always good when playing comeback ball.

The Fraters guys are starting to sound like and aging Super Bowl champ still living on past glory and trying to squeeze one more win out of their aging, broken down legs. Chadwick's doing his best trying to hold them together, but it looks like time for them to rebuild.
Posted by: JamesPh. at May 27, 2005 10:22 AMYeah, it's been a whole three weeks since we won (and only two when that we showed up for). This isn't football JP, it's more like baseball. No one goes 162-0. I'll take our overall winning percentage against anyone else's.

I am personally reading up on my Winnie the Pooh, now that he's figured prominently in the last few games. I assure you we will be back.

Posted by: Nihilist in Golf Pants at May 28, 2005 08:40 AMFirst of all, I know that this has absolutely nothing to do with the Trivia game at Keegan's, but the Guiness reminded me...has anyone been to the St Paul Irish Festival before? We're going this year for the first time (mainly to see Danu-they're fantastic!) and wonder what to expect. Is it a lot of fun? Is it lame? (We figure it can't be too lame if Danu is playing and there's a "pub tent"!).
Any info or tips on when to get there, etc would be welcome. Thanks.
