It’s just a momentary setback

Folks, we have a jumper!   Allen’s glee was evident as he watched his comrades’ fire and emergency trucks race up W.Peachtree last night.  From the upper level of Charlie G’s, he was able to tell in a single glance by the equipment flying up the street that there was a jumper on a bridge somewhere.  And, sure enough, there was.  I do think the nearby table of “Youngsters” was duly impressed and awed.
  
Alas, the Donkey Punch got a donkey kick to the gut last night: losing by 2 measly little points to the Youngster table to take 2^nd place, not 1^st.  This is such a rare occasion (us losing!) that they screamed and jumped up and down and realized just what a feat it was to have beat us.  Heh heh.  Never again, little kids….never again.   

All that said, 2^nd place is not so bad.  It’s still this $30 bar tab which, in a lot of places, is a 1^st place award, not second.  I am The Bearer of The Bucks this week, which means I’ll surely be there again next week to help us re-claim the title.
 

The biggest compliment is that Aron (who does the question calling) has told us he will be “dumbing-down” the questions a little so as to encourage more teams to play.  The fact that we don’t’ know enough “dumb” questions to place first is a compliment, right?
 

Things we will never soon forget:
 

1. Steve Martin never really quit his day job at SNL
2. Sulfuric acid is what makes that rain burn
3. Barbra Streisand has wider appeal than any of us ever realized
4. If you want to be remembered as an explorer, it’s good to have an unusual first name
5.  Sudan is really, really big.  Oh, but don’t bother trying to look for Burma.
