dull thud
So. Team Breakfast Club did its thing at the championship games in LA. And we didn’t win. We weren’t crushed, exactly; it could’ve been anyone’s game. Personally, I screwed up a critical answer in a hail-mary, double-or nothing round (Chattanooga is not the capitol of Tennessee, numbnut); I also suspected a picture of an athlete was John Elway, but didn’t insist on it (it was John Elway and we could’ve pulled ahead on that one). But also: a few hours before the game, while having my breakfast, I memorized the last 20 years of Oscar-winning movies. To my shock, here was the last round’s question: “What are the 11 Best Picture films to have punctuation in their title?” I got 8, thanks to my last minute cram.
So there you go. I am relieved it’s over and pining for the days when trivia was just a cigar.
