HGS 2.0: Cleaning Out My Closet 'Till I Collapse

Howdy y'all...aw...fuck it.

I'm really not feeling East Texas right now. Hell, I'm not even from East Texas (although I did go to college around those parts). I'm just not feeling E.T. right now. So, for now, I'll perform my section of Texas. But, tune in next week, gentle readers, and watch out for the return of the "real" Lone Star Writer.

Even though we got a great score, I still feel disheartened by Wednesday's trivia night. HGS is a fan-damn-tastic team, but I think we were at loggerheads last night more than we usually are. And that makes me kinda sad. Anyhow, I think I'm going to give us rap nicknames that reflect our individual talents:

GTA Feghoot: Filmalicious

lemur catta: Gangsta Geography

parenthesis (girl): DJ Shakespeare

Lone Star Writer: Salt-n-Pop Culture

It was also strange because HGS splintered last night. No, no fighting in the collective, but we made space for some of parenthesis (girl)'s hometown buddies.

Flora: Dr.Rasputin

Fauna: Funkmaster Rough Rider

Merriweather: Foxy Potter

(Sorry for the Disney reference, but I couldn't think of any other aliases.)

Here's to the splinter-group Stark-Naked and the Car Thieves, who posted an impressive score as well. Cheers to group members Alistair LaQuisha Spiritrunner, neurotic wonderboy, and Mister Ray. You were missed.

And, yeah, it's petty but I'm happy that the Van Buren Boys didn't actually get fifty-one points; they got fourty-nine (check the Quizmaster's blog if you don't believe me). I guess the team members that graded the VBB's quiz weren't exactly Mathletes. (Sorry. That's cruel. I should've said they were mathletically challenged.) In short, first place is not impossible; they're only six points ahead, and there's five weeks in front of us. What can I say, y'all? It's time to start chipping away.

Shouldn't my rap nickname be "Flimalicious"?
