Quiz League, Week Two: Boos-ing It Up

So this week the HGS was back in full force--six members total, including many fan favorites: parenthesis (girl), neurotic wonderboy, lemur catta, GTA Feghoot, The Power, and someone we'll call Alistair LaQuisha Spiritrunner (a rookie brought up from the minors due to Mr. ARO's absence). And the HGS totally dominated, scoring 46 points out of a possible 50. The Qu?zmaster confessed he had been busy (most likely chatting it up with U.S. Immigration Services again) and said many of the questions weren't that difficult. Either he was right, or HGS was, as our name suggests, totally hot. We didn't miss a point until the 5th round (some David Beckham question) and the only query that completely stumped us dealt with identifying a song from Pink's oeuvre. On the whole, it was a very impressive showing. The coup de grace was definitely going 10 for 10 on the massive Canadian province question. So all you other teams can hose off, eh!

We were awarded boos again from the other teams, and awarded booze again from the friendly staff at the Brit Inn (one of whom thinks we're not that hot, and one who constantly refers to the team as Sexy Hot Grad Students). Italics aside, not everyone has become an enemy. And I'm sure we'll continue to receive boos from the other teams, especially from the Van Buren Boys.

As Henry Adams once said, "The boos of the Van Buren Boys were a negative force, and negative forces have value." Sho 'nuff.
