Start Time: Only after all of us had gotten there, and we didn't leave Cindy's until 9:30. I'll say 10:00.
End Time: Probably in the region of 1:00.
Core Attendees: Craig, James, Cindy, Travis, Steve, Kari. Full house.
Support Attendees: None. Just the core bringin' it to the limit.
Orange Toques Forgotten: Craig, Craig, Craig. Fortunately, our erstwhile captain made the ultimate sacrifice, and wore an orange-paper dunce cap. It certainly looked much better than his "orange paper jammed down into his hat band" look. Take note: Should you happen to forget your hat, this might just happen to you!
Pitchers of Victory Beer won: Two kind of. One for sure. Sort of two.
Place for the evening: second, I think.
Place overall: First. By a long shot. There was a lot of complaining about this, from the Bi-Polar bears who insisted that they actually came in first place for the last seven (out of twelve) weeks, and yet didn't crack the top three. Hmm. Or from Push Her Down the Stairs, who claimed that had they not gotten caught cheating, that their score would have been high enough to win (hmm). It wouldn't. Plus, they were caught cheating again last night. Dag, yo. Bottom line: We crushed the competition, essentially by an entire night's worth of trivia. Unstoppable.
Name for the Evening: Travis saw Drew, Grill and Jon Stamos doing Yoga in matching outfits. This made the engineers crack like eggs. It was awesome. They even asked "who told you about that?"
Answer of the night: The fact that sodium hits water and....wait for it....explodes! Take that, AGE team, who would have said that it just makes salt water. No chance, apparently. Good work, Chemists in our group (Cindy, Steve, I'm looking at you).
Runner-up to best answer of the night: Steve clutching up and remembering that George Lazenby did not succeed Sean Connery, but just took his place for one movie. Oh, and in that movie he was married to Diana Rigg. AND IT HAD A SEQUEL, DARN IT!
Bonehead move of the night: Oh, so many to chose from. Was it James, going back on his original knowledge of Persia and Iran? Or was it Travis, saying that "Back in Time" was from Back to the Future II instead of I? You know, it's the last game, and we're done, so there were no bonehead moves. We did perfectly well.
"Dicks in your mouth": Okay, buckle up, because this is a little convoluted. Here we go: Mike Berry, from team Frank, asked Craig over, and then asked him how many beers he'd had so far, to make sure that he was still okay to ride his bike home. Craig replied with "Seven," innocently enough, at which point Mike said "DICKS IN YOUR MOUTH!" It was funny that team Frank got involved (they usually do it wrong). Anyhoo, Steve then had the great idea that he would ask Craig how many Dicks he just got hit with (going for the double whammy). Well, then, sure enough, when we asked how many Craig just got hit with, Mike, trying to answer quickly due to pride, said "Seven" all happy, and was then met with a resounding "DICKS IN YOUR MOUTH" from at least Steve and James. Nothing beats it. Good work on the reversal, guys.
Members of our team who have herpes: All of us, apparently. Who knew?
Triviagate scandal: Mad cheating going on from the team next to us. A bunch of upstarts who know how to use cellular phones, apparently. They were especially blatant during the last round, when new teams think it's perfectly acceptable to cheat when you're playing against the bar. What's the deal? Oh, and push her down the stairs got busted for cheating. Again. Big frickin' surprise. Oh, and some bozo tried to join our team in the last round. Yeah, not happening. Travis isn't a whore.
Music Excellence: "The humpty dance" was played again. I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice.
The only real question now is when to have the keg party. There are going to be fifty pints of beer floating around (plus a few shots of cranberry juice for my poor pregnant wife), so we have to think of a time when we can all get together and drink ourselves stupid. Also, a guest list of sorts would be good too. You know, so we can keep out the riff-raff. Yeah, we're awesome.
Mad props to the engineers and to the bar staff for letting us take advantage of them. But seriously. Mad props to us. We're awesome.
Trivia James.

I still stand by my answer. "Back in Time" is from Back To The Future II. It did however, also appear in the first movie. There is an overlap in the story between both movies. When Marty gets out of bed, his clock radio is playing that song. If you wanna get picky, either answer should be accepted.
