THE INTERNETS won

where do i start?

i just got home from the most recent dr. fact's night of fifty questions and i'm bouncing off the walls with happiness - and the neuticles only placed third! why the excitement? the thrill of the comeback!

after the first half of twenty-five questions, the neuticles were squarely in the lower middle of the pack with just ten correct answers. during the reading of the scores there was an audible gasp among the other teams upon realizing that the neuticles were nowhere near the top. that gasp was quickly followed by a round of "ooohs," as if the previous four time winners (with consistant top three finishes) were seriously off their game.

round six saw our team go five for five and the hunt for redemption was on. jamie and jim aced the visual geography round (correctly identifying five states). at some point i chimed in with the answer "meet the press" which made me feel good because until that point the only correct answer i'd given without team consultation was "spongebob squarepants."

at the reading of the final scores, the neuticles celebrated their final total of 32 (having gone 22 for 25 in the second half). two teams tied for second and a new team, under the moniker "the internets" took home the night's cash prize.

had we won, next month we would've considered purchasing and wearing neuticles shirts (or maybe necklaces).
