Winner, winner, chicken dinner

Our dear friends, the Flenards, talked us into to going to Geeks Who Drink last night.

It's been a while since we Geeked and our normal Geeking posse it mostly out of commission due to the impending addition to the Reed family (Greg and Sarah's baby boy is bound and determined to come sooner than later it seems).

But last night, we three couples (oh and Serg, whose contribution was sarcasm) dubbed ourselves the Whispering Eyes (giggle, giggle, thatmeansvagina, giggle) and proceeded to kick all kinds of geek-drinking ass.

Now, you have to understand that I enjoy competition. I enjoy trivia. I enjoy playing games. But I LOVE winning Geeks Who Drink.

You know why?

Because it's hard.

There was an entire round last night on the Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Mofo Rings, people. I saw one of those movies and it annoyed me. I mean how many scenes do I need to see of that dude standing around holding that flippin' ring already?

Luckily for us our one of the couples, Wayne and Sandy, rocked that category. My contribution was to go to the bathroom and drink beer while they answered the questions.

Another category was on songs that had something to do with sisters. Tracee is a musical savant and kicked all kinds of ass on that one.

So basically everyone else answered questions while I drank beer.

But you know what? I was on the team of people who knew the most answers. So woo hoo, I'm a winner.

Winning is awesome.

Losing rank

So I wrote yesterday about our dazzling third-place victory/loss at Geek Who Drink.

I was wrong.

We didn't come in third even though we took the prize and spent it on deep fried things.

No, we came in not-even-close-to-kissing-your-sister fourth place.

There was an error in the scores. You can see more pictures from Tuesday and read about how we lost dismally over here.

Fourth.

Whatever.

I'm over it.

I mean who cares?

Look at my tiny pencil.

Geeks Who Drink Week 3

Last night marked our third trip to the Rockslide for Geeks Who Drink.
And guess what?

We won again.
And by won, I mean that two other teams scored more points than we did.

Alright. That's not a win.

We were the second-place losers last night, with the kissing-your-sister finish of third place.
I feel obligated to mention that the winning team cheated.

They were cheaters because they were drinking water — except for that one guy who had a glass of wine.

One glass of wine is not going to make your team as stupid as we of the many beers.
But thanks to the emcee, Ninja Dustino — who is looking quite pretty with Sarah on his head — we had a bunch of laughs so we'll take our third-place win/loss and drink to it.

And for your viewing pleasure. Below is some rare footage of the Amazing Bill Halen and his magic napkin (yes, this is what we do while we're waiting for the quiz to begin).

Who knew I was a geek who likes to drink?

OK, many people. But now it's official.

Last night Greg and Sarah invited us to play on their "Geeks Who Drink" trivia team. Dude, it's so fun ... and I'm not just saying that because we won ... although it sho' does help.
