I go to this bar every now and again--a hotspot in the pseudo-Bohemian part of town, regionally renowned for it's trivia nights. Not your typical, trivial pursuit, to be sure. Instead of the widespread bonehead sports or pop culture questions, whose champions only triumph because of the hard work they did sitting on the couch in front of the television.

I'm talking about that tip-of-your-tongue, "that sounds familiar because I've only seen it once" type trivia. The kind that really makes you feel intelligent for pulling it out of your addled brain. The guys that run the trivia contest really put a lot of thought into making it so that you can't go to sleep that night until you figure out the answer.

Perhaps unfortunately, the once post-college crowd that was actually stimulated by the trivia has been replaced by a gaggle of obnoxious college-types who generally don't know their asses from their elbows. I was never like that! At least I don't remember it that way...

Nonetheless! Kip from work and I schooled them in the second round. Under the banner of Spider Jerusalem (which prompted a rather obnoxious outburst from an unruly geek who actually knew the reference), we handed everyone's ass to them without using a bowel disruptor. (Note** for those of you who don't have any idea what I'm talking about, don't read anything further into that.)
