Sit on that answer for a bit.

Monday night was crazier than a pirate ass kicking contest on one leg. Which we had by the way. As you may or may not know it’s always winner take all approach on Monday nights, and when we get to the final challenge round, we have some fun crazy thing to choose who gets to pick the final question. We’ve played quarters, we’ve played pin the tail on the grinning donkey, and we’ve blown up balloons and popped them, just to name a few. It just shakes things up a bit and usually this ensures a hilarious night.

This Monday was one of the best. Ever. As one of my quizzers later commented: “Was that a pub quiz or an episode of laugh in?” *Sock it to me!* The game of choosing the final question began with a simple set of instructions: Stand up like Captn Morgan (It’s pirate week), one leg in air, one hand on knee, on hand on hip. After all the quizzers proved they could hold this position for over 3 minutes, I commanded they then “Hop” which they did. Once the hopping commenced we were left with John Doyle (our Quiz against the Quizmasters host) and Diego from the bar, hoping, then spinning in circles. So I commanded the final two quizzers to begin kicking each other in the ass. Thus, we had a hoping, one legged pirate ass kicking contest. Awesome.

The quizzers/pirates dropped in this fashion: One team opted out as soon as I announced that the other teams could do whatever they wanted, except push, to stop the teams from winning (no one did anything). The next quizzy out simply lost balance. The third and fourth lost balance as well. Siren’s of Titan lost their teammate not due to balance, but because he could not stop talking with his hands, thus breaking the “Captain’s stance” Finally, we lost John Doyle, just as he was bragging about being able to keep up in his old age, and it was right about then that his long time smoking habit kicked his own ass, and forced him out. Diego won, and the Bar Team got to choose the final question. It didn’t really help their efforts to win, but still, they won the challenge. Seems the boys at the bar do indeed have a little pirate in them. Perhaps more than most.

In the end, it was the team that chickened out of the challenge and sat it out that took first place, and ALL THE CASH. 2 guys, $45. Not bad booty. Not the first time I’ve hear that statement on Monday nights either. Now, on to the answer to the question. Have you sat on it long enough? Apparently, if you use your ASS to take your pills, they absorb into the blood stream faster, and more efficiently. I mean, I guess it makes sense, but it wasn’t until Quizzer X (left unnamed to avoid prosecution by missing teammates) yelled it out in the middle of the game that it was brought to my attention. So, next time you’re in pain, say, in the ER and they want to hand you a pill, just tell them “Could you shove that up my ass instead?” They’re professionals, they’ll understand.

Here’s proof of our shenanigans. Thanks to Eboni for the great shots.

I think this is where they started hopping around. Sadly, no pictures of the ass kicking, that was the best part.
