Bollocks. I am trapped at the bookstore for another hour at least, processing a last-minute buy. Good luck!

Crap! I ended up with a damned CHORE to do tonight. Bollocks. But I will catch the next week!

I believe we've also dodged anything to do with wine-producing regions.

ShooBoo, I think the new trivia start time is seven p.m. instead of the old eight p.m. time.

There was a MORAL VICTORY if not a technical victory. We came in second place because of an EPIC NINJA faceoff against a fake bear, after a Family Guy–fueled final quarter of missed opportunities. I'll leave the stories to the bards.

Dangit. I am on the hook for tech support tonight. If it finishes fast I might get there by eight-thirty or nine but I might not make it after all. Bah. BAH!

A three-way tie at 18 for second place with the winners scoring 21. So a fairly tough night.

Aw dip. Sudden headache brought on by who knows what. But I'll catch the next one.

Tilt tilt tilt! This morning or last night I realized that I couldn't remember the name of the bathrobe-wearing neighbor who died on Friends. Which in turn made me realize I didn't remember ninety things I used to know about Buffy and that I probably shouldn't enter a Buffy trivia contest with these sorts of deficits.

I think so, but I think there's also meant to be a political or socioeconomic or historical component to the pun. So Sly and the Family Stonewall Riots.
