our brains are complex tinker toys
it's the second monday of the month and that means it's trivia night at buttermilk. jamie, kaci, jim and i will be there tonight to try to win back the crown at DR. FACT'S NIGHT OF FIFTY QUESTIONS. friends have talked about forming teams to try to knock us out of the top three. will this be the month that someone steps up to the challenge? here's the scoop about why we may or may not be beatable tonight:
JAMIE is on "hiatus" from his blog (meaning that his brain can no longer multitask).
why you should be worried: he still keeps posting every day. it seems as though the "hiatus" comment was just a fake.
KACI can think of nothing but roller skating the night before her wedding. i can't blame her for this.
why you should be worried: her familiarty with roller rinks says that question from the late 70's to the mid-80's will be no problem for her "couples skate" focused brain.
JIM is too obsessed with lars von trier to think about anything other than obscure european films.
why you should be worried: if 25% of the questions deal with obscure european films you're going to be so pissed that you skipped going to film forum last month.
I am in my own little world of semi-ridiculous pipe dreams. the lure to create my own mini-television empire over the internet is a clear sign that i've lost all sanity. double check every answer i give.
why you should be worried: I AM A COMPLETE WILDCARD. it's possible that i'll magically know the answers to 70% of the questions.

1. that your team -- 2. the "dudicals" -- was not participating tonight in trivia, but was in fact writing the questions.
damn him!
well, we will be there anyway to challenge the throne!
had we won last month we would've had to create the questions for tonight. but we lost. and the rumor i heard is that dr. fact and his squad will actually be creating the questions again.
