A good election eve quiz last night as we all drank fine craft beers getting our hangovers for election day started… a lot of people disagreed when I said that I miss the old voting booths… don’t get me wrong I’m not going to miss standing on line in the rain for hours… but I’m a fan of older, simpler technology… there was no other feeling than flipping those little levers and then having to really step into it in order to throw the huge final lever which actually cast your vote. ‘Ka-chunck’ is the sound that it made as you pulled the lever across the length of the machine. I don’t know… there was something official about that noise.. it gave me a sense of democratic power… On the other hand, it was really nice to fill out my ballot in the warmth and privacy of my own home and then drop it off from my car… maybe I’m just nostalgic.

It was a great election day themed quiz going on last night though… as we had ‘Vote or Die Hard’, ‘The Erotic Adventures of Hercules’ and the ‘Cerebral Pals’ getting into the final round. Some other themed team names who didn’t make into the final round was ‘YouBetcha!’ and ’3 Whigs and a Torry’…Nice!

All three teams got the final answer right about Smith’s Frozen Foods… which meant that ‘The Erotic Adventures of Hercules’ took second with the ‘Cerebral Pals’ maintaining their top spot. Well Played guys!!!

Cheers!
