unsolicted, unofficial, HGS Trivia team Player Profiles

Since I am superficial, judgemental, selfish, hyper-critical and otherwise full of crap, I thought that I'd take it upon myself to write some unsolicited player profiles of the Hot Grad Student Trivia Team. Please do not post comments or edit these profiles in anyway, since you will obviously be wrong.

GTA Fegfoot: He IS the Internet Movie Database. Aside from that, he also reads wikipedia for fun. For serious.

Parenthesis (Girl): Also a lifetime subscriber to the wikipedia, which just goes to show that it can be used critically as a valid academic research source. Take note all English 102 students. Using Wiki will payoff...in spades (great phrase, no idea what it means. I can only guess that "spades" are awesome).

Neurotic Wonder Boy: That's me. And like the bible, you can and should read my name literally. I am nervous and wonderful. I can't come through in the clutch, but I can be counted on to know something or other about one or two things each time we play. I'm down with sugary pop music and for some reason I can answer questions about Africa, though only superficially. More often than not, though, I just play footsie with the other grad students under the table.

Mr. ARO: He's a tall drink of water, but prefers beer and gin (separately). Has intermediate knowledge of pop music and is from a midwestern state which means he probably knows a thing or two about American presidents. Sometime pronounces "insurance" with emphasis on the "in" rather than the "sur" (like I do, which is the right way). Is a Cardinals fan, but hey, nobody's perfect. Can beat me at Tekken 5.

Lemur Catta: Perhaps a team unto himself with an extensive knowledge of both Freddy Mercury and Africa. But, not all this "cat" has to offer. While he's prone to violent "rage" blackouts, he will often surprise you by being available to play darts late night at the Landmark Lanes. That's southern hospitality for you.

Lonestar Writer: I'm guessing is from Texas, which you don't mess with.

Violet: While we share a common friendship with the Associate Dean of Letters and Sciences, Violet often rises above the petty departmental politics that comes with a job in academia. Her penchant for hot british actors and bad RnB music takes her far at the trivia table.

Alistair LaQuisha Spiritrunner: A long name for a short girl. He taste in clothing is impeccable, and I know this because she has the same taste as me - impeccable. Her critical eye misses nothing as she turns trivia answers over in her head, eventually rendering both answer and question utterly meaningless. As the answers implode, the points for her team add up exponentially. She can also time travel. And though she's only successfully done it once, she is looking for a time travel companion for the next journey.

*Also, I just got back from Las Vegas and Arizona where I experienced earthly temperatures unheard of in the northeast. I have a pretty sweet farmer's tan to prove it. Tune in shortly and often because someday I will eventually, maybe, update my own blog with stories of that trip, plus some kind of bullshit red sox and/or patriots analysis.
