It's Oh So Quiet

So there is a bar downtown State College I like to go to called Gingerbreadman. Every Wednesday they do trivia and karaoke which means that basically every Wednesday the bar is calling out "Katieeeee, come to meeeeee, it doesn't matter that you have work tomorrow, I love youuuu" and I can't resist sweet talk so I go.

A few Wednesdays ago a group of cool people (you know who you are) went to G-mans as we like to call it and we played trivia. Now mad people cheat at trivia, people use their phone to do internet searches for answers, text their friends, etc...but we have refused to cheat. Refused. The winners of trivia get gift-cards to the restaurant, aka, free drinks. A few Wednesday's ago, we won third place. Or so we were told. I was SUPER excited because I was incredibly broke at this point and the prospect of getting just one free drink was elating. So I run up to the trivia guy (Trivia Chuck, we're FB friends) and I was like, "WE WON!!!!" and then this guy came up in front of me and demanded that he should have gotten third place and that Trivia Chuck added the numbers wrong. But he didn't! We won third place, without cheating! Still, the group that claimed they had third place over us got the third place prize, we were completely jipped. We won nothing.... It was a very sad time for the team.

Today, I decide to go to G-man's again. I was the first one there so I had to come up with a team name. Our team names was "Bitch-ass-bitch hoes."  I was alone for the first round and got two of the three questions wrong (Fail!!) and I thought for sure it was over. We kept playing, blah blah blah, and at the end we ended up in 6th place. Then, we had the final question. We could wager up to 15 points. The question was "what do Bjork, Anaus Nin, (someone), (someone else) and (someone else) have in common." I said, "well Bjork has those dots over the 'o' in her name..." To which Nate responded "They all have umlats in their names" We bet all of our points, "balls to the walls" as I like to say. We had no absolute confidence that this answer was correct but we went with it. And we won. We won. WE WON TRIVIA! Big deal. To quote Trivia Chuck "The first place prize goes to the "Bitch-ass-bitch hoes." YASSSS!!!!! This made up for the fact that we were jipped out of third place last time.

To conclude, WE WON TRIVIA!!!!!! (without cheating). Yeyyahhhhh
