So it was, in trivia history, Monday night, in a completely unprecedented move; the crowd at CC Slaughter’s actually knew MORE about the sports icons than the Presidents of the United States.  Go back and read that again, will you?  Ok, got it?  I know, right?  I mean, what the hell?   I would not have called that one in like 4 million years. Ever.  Just goes to show, you never know when your quizzers will turn on you and get smart.  Or in this case, sporty. Real sports icons too. Things like soccer, and football, and baseball for crying out loud.

In our second week of the CC Slaughter’s summer race for CA$H we’ve got team Dai Bach coming out on top  this week, while I Quiz won last week, meaning each team now has 2 points.  You get one point just for showing up to play, so Angel’s Ladies and Fags of the Apocalypse are also on the board. We’re only in week 2 however, so if you want to bring a team, you have a chance to leap onto our glittery standings board.

Congrats to Dai Bach, the only team to know “that guy” that wrote the famous poem “Casey at the Bat.”  Here’s what I remember of that famous poem, recited by my sister many years ago in a summer talent show.  (in her baseball uniform) Who do you think helped her memorize those lines?  That’s right. ME.  *ahem* Okay, here’s what I got:

“…There was no joy in Mudville, the mighty Casey had struck out.”

I’m a flipping genius.  Find me on FB to learn more about the standing games, and trivial shit in general. (Like my life)
