I don’t understand why someone started that Internet meme of fake facts about Chuck Norris — the real ones are so much better! For example, did you know he was the 2006 Jewish Humanitarian of the Year? Or that he turned down the role of Mr. Foreman on That 70′s Show? How about that he founded Chun Kuk Do, his own martial art? But the one thing he didn’t do — which I totally made up — was serve as the initial inspiration for the Mr. Myagi role in the Karate Kid.

In lookinf for a photo for this blog post, I can, in retrospect, see how evil that question was, as he seemed to star in a total rip-off of Danielsan’s masterwork. Only don’t tell Walker Texas Ranger I said that — if even one of the other things they say about him is true, I wouldn’t last very long with him mad at me.

You know who I could outlast though? Team Canada. Sure, sure, they won their third straight Space Room Pub Quiz (hello, Space Roommies — you’re getting your ass kicked, how about studying, m’kay?), but I got news for you all, it’s not about winning or losing, its about who gets to grade the quizzes — and that’s ME. So, if you want to throw down, Team Canada, I’m all over it. Just keep in mind though, that I grade the quizzes when we do.

But leave it to the IT Crowd over at the Argyle Mafia’s table to muscle their way into second place — nicely done. These guys eat, breathe, and sleep internet, which means they took the blue pill. (Or was it the red one? Oh wait, I just remembered — I don’t care.) They bested Spoonful of Spam who didn’t know the answer to the Challenge Round question about DSL lines, though coincidentally they did know the answer to the one about Spam.

And now for the SPACE ROOM SAUCER STANDINGS! With only four weeks to go after last night’s quiz, the pack is starting to spread out. But it only takes one slip-up for the Top Three to make it interesting. There’s only one way to scrape your way into contention (and get your team name on that sweet, sweet trophy), and that’s by showing up and playing at Space Room!

That’s it for this week. Be sure to swing by my FACEBOOK PAGE where starting next week I’m going to be posting naked baby pictures of the team in last place. Maybe. (You’ll have to stop by and see!)

Until then, be well, play hard and try to remember everything you can.
