So GTA Feghoot and lemur catta were the only two regular HGS members able to make it to the first week of the Brit Inn summer pub quiz league. Needless to say, we won (that's four weeks in a row--we're the fucking Boston Red Sox of trivia night); however, the questions were noticeably more difficult (Wickens stepped up his game) and, despite winning, the two HGS definitely could have used the minds of their fellow teammates. For example, some questions relied on heavy brainstorming strategies that would have been aided by the presence of others (like name the six wives of Henry VIII) while some were simply esoteric (like what is 'San Diego' German for, according to Ron Burgundy of "Anchorman"? Answer: Whale's Vagina. Who knew? Answer: Practically everyone else in the bar except HGS).
What's important is that we prevailed, and when the Milwaukee Quizmaster himself announced us as the triumphant squad, we were greeted with unanimous boos from all the other teams. We might normally feel like the Red Sox, but, at that precise moment, we knew what is was like to be Barry Bonds.

Hot Grad Students, it is I your Milwaukee Quizmaster!
Gotta say I'm impressed with your blog and even more pleased that you pay homage to me!
I don't think your opponents were impressed last week, but I must say how do you do it? You have quite a winning streak going.
Leave me some feedback if you have any suggestions for questions or anything you'd like to see me do with the quiz. Thanks, see you at Week 3
