Fingertaggin’ Harrison Ford (Belmont Inn)

When people ask me who the worst American president was, as they are wont to do, I unequivocally answer Harrison Ford. Sure, William Henry Harrison only spent 30 FULL days in office, and yeah, Nixon was (kinda, sorta) a crook, oh, and W. … well… I’ll stop there. But Harrison Ford was the most disappointing of them all. He was supposed to be a man of action, but there’s nothing inspiring about watching a man his age get his ass kicked around an airplane in “Air Force One.” In fact, it’s kind of sad that he hasn’t moved onto other genres. I mean, the guy is a comedy goldmine — just look at him wag that finger!

I digress, but Indiana himself played a big role in the Belmont Quiz last night, being the lynchpin to the Round 2 Quizlinks puzzle. Five teams vaulted through to the Challenge Round, but only two got the last answer correct. “Barack Obeige Food” was in first after four rounds, but they answered incorrectly, opening the door for second place (after 4 rounds) “An American Monkey” to come in and drink their milkshake, with “The Wildcatters” (in third after four) sweeping into second. This week’s all-or-nothing also-rans were “Cattle Prodigy” and “Blood Farts,” which shall forever be the worst name ever uttered at a Pub Quiz. Now check out those smiling Monkeys:
