TRIVIA NIGHT !!!!!!!!


For the record, Trivia (Bar Trivia) is one of my favorite things. Apparently, Coach Sawyer would agree with me. Team Sawyer (Claire and Robert) are in town this weekend (whoo!), and arrived late Wednesday night. Instead of retiring for the night, we went to Matt Murphy's Pub and participated in their trivia night. Mind you, this was our 1st time to play trivia here, also. As I checked out the packed house and our competition, I was reminded of two things: a gentle blend of "The Mathletes" from Mean Girls, and Elle Woods going around the circle with her new classmates during Harvard orientation. I didn't like our odds....we were the smallest team at 4 and had no iPhone. Our team name was properly chosen ("Southern Pride"), and the domination began. My knowledge of pop culture combined with Sawyer's wealth of info proved unstoppable. When it was said and done, we emerged victorious with 56 points (the nearest competition = 47). The unassuming southerners dominated the multi-cultural smarty pants of the Ivy Elite. What did we win? 8 movie passes to the premier of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (new Judd Apatow movie that comes out Apil 18) the next night. Unfortunately, I don't think that made up for our $70 tab.......
They were no match for us....
