if you can't be smart, be clever; if you can't be clever, be mean
Another Monday, another crushing loss at pub quiz. On the upside, we've once again confirmed that it's possible to cash hypothetical credit toward a non-fiery afterlife in exchange for cheap bar swag. Which is to say we won the team name competition with another horribly offensive entry: "Riding Metro Costs an Arm and a Leg". Subtract ten points for the cliche, but add a hundred for poor taste.
A better entry: "You come to pub quiz with the team you have, not the team you want". Fortunately for us, the same joke was made by another team (except involving pencils); I think that's what gave us the win.
And what was our prize? Another set of t-shirts and DC United tickets? Some money of our bar tab? An order of buffalo wings with a laughably sincere Irish backstory? Nope. Four candy canes. Man, that was totally worth sticking around for.

Where do you go to quiz? I've been looking for a new place in D.C. after my last quiz started sucking donkey balls. Since then, my team has fallen apart... would be nice to start something up again.
we go rather sporadically to fado in penn quarter. the trivia's fun, but sometimes you have to get there super early to snag a table (we didn't last night, and had to stand for 3 hours) and there's a $10 minimum per person on trivia night.
