You know, you’d think in the Space Room, I wouldn’t have to point these things out. But last night, when I asked for the name of the red supergiant star that makes up the right shoulder of the constellation Orion, three teams answered “Mars.” Mars! It’s a planet, morons, not a star!

Ugh. Why do I expect more from these people? It’s the summer time — everyone’s going gagga over the sun, not planets. It’s like you give Portland one sunny day and they turn into a bunch of poo-throwing zoo monkeys who don’t know their asses from their Orions!

Thank GOD for No Future. This gothy crew hasn’t seen a sunny day since the last day of school in the second grade — sheet white and the stunning intellect to match. Only three of them turned out for the quiz, and that’s all that was needed to take down their two biggest competitors: second-place Spoonfuls and third-place House of Ill Repute. How pale, smart, and sickly are these guys? Check this out:

Now reminder: Only three of those faces actually showed up this week, so don’t spread the credit all around. In fact that trio was also responsible for getting No Future into first place in the SPACE ROOM SAUCER STANDINGS Plenty of time to go — we’re only a few weeks into the 14 WEEK season, so lots can change, but here’s the standings right now:

1 Spoonful of Something 11
- No Future 11
3 House of Ill Repute 10
4 French Dip and Reuben 7
5 Argyle Mafia 4
6 Bishop and Queen 2
- Team Cupcake 2
- Team Canada 2
- The Jackson 3 2
10 Many, many teams 1

That’s all for this Wednesday, people… Be sure to stop by and visit my FACEBOOK PAGE or my TWITTER FEED, and until next week, be well, play hard and try to remember everything you can!
