Quiz League III (Hot Grad Students 2.0) and Gosh! Wow! A Celebrity Sighting!

The third Brit Inn Quiz League began this past Wednesday, immediately after the grueling final week of the second one in which HGS garnered the victory. Without any feelings of a "need to repeat" setting in just yet, the HGS decided to let loose and explore that $200 bar tab a bit more. This time around, HGS had a few new faces. While parenthesis (girl), Alistair LaQuisha Spiritrunner, GTA Feghoot, lemur catta, and someone we'll call Kathleen (who was first called up for the grand finale) were present, the HGS sported two new members as well: someones we'll call the The Wad and The Bouche, for now. We did not win, although it kind of felt like we did, as the sudden death champs the Van Buren Boys shared their melon vodka with anyone and everyone who could get their hands on a shot glass.

As the league will go on and as the HGS continues to rotate members in and out, the more exciting news for the week comes from Friday night, when parenthesis (girl), GTA Feghoot, Lone Star Writer (who is a member of the blog and may or may not join Team-O Supreme-O -- stay tuned, America!), and someone we'll call The Acclaimed Author of The Da Vinci Code were all minding our own business and beverages at the Vox when, wouldn't you know it, the Milwaukee Qu?zmaster and his entourage came in. The MQ came over to greet us, introduced himself to our friends as "Hi, I'm Ryan, but you can call me the Qu?zmaster," and he put his hand on GTA Feghoot's shoulder (insert high-pitched squeal here). He and his entourage seemed to be on a pub crawl (sorry, everyone who thought they would haunt the Vox from now on awaiting the arrival of the MQ) and didn't stay long, but while they were there engaged in, from what we could tell, some drinking game involving The Police song "Roxanne." What a night that was!

OK. Now back to posting bogus Craigslist personal ads for neurotic wonderboy to discover.
