Panty Fiasco

 Roger Clemens was our fiasco-ee du jour. Much like him, we started out strong and on the right “team” if you will. After the first round we were but a mere point away from the lead and sitting nicely in 3^rd place (especially after digging deep and rocking the “Literature” Bonus). After that, it all fell apart. It was a swift plummet from top to settling amongst the dregs. Though we didn’t finish last, I suppose we can say that much. The questions were tough and most random. But our downfall was that during the clutch questions, we’d narrowed our choices to the right one and the wrong one—and always picked the wrong option (Ahem, Clemens). Our cookie crumbled; Our Sweet went to Low; Our pie went to mud; Our brownies were blonde.

(Off topic: Say you were walking down the street with your chums, perhaps after a night of drinking/dancing/some sort of revelry, and chanced upon a Styrofoam container—like one that you would get at a restaurant to bring home food—filled with brownies and cookies. Would you eat said brownies? Does it make a difference if you were outside a hospital when you found them? If your answer was anything besides “Hellz Yeah’ and “No”, you’re wrong and get no brownie points. Nyuk nyuk.)

In other trivia news, we may be changing our venue as Monday night was starting to become tough on the fiascoer’s schedules. We’d like to stick with Al, not just because he’s awesome, but because we need to redeem ourselves. So, don’t be surprised if you spot a fiasco at the Tam on Tuesdays. Or perhaps we will try out a Stump! Trivia (copyright/trademark something here) venue. Though after the way they ditched us with no warning when we went to the Thirsty Scholar, I don’t know if our hearts can heal so easily.

Final Question: In 2002, what movie was nominated for 10 Academy Awards but won none of them?
(Answer: Gangs of New York.  Yes, that was one of our choices…and we didn’t go with it. CLEMENS!!!)
