Le Petite Escargot

So tonight is Wednesday, which of course means awesomeness if you have been paying attention to my blog. Today was definitely an exceptional Wednesday, which means exceptional awesomeness. First off, the day at work was solid and at lunch I had Benny's AND was allowed to get comics early by my good friends at Bosco's. Then I went back to work until 4ish, after which I went and saw Live Free or Die Hard at 4:15 and it was of course glorious and action packed. Immediately afterwards, I went to trivia to support my team...the Drunken Cowboys. As per usual, Colver and I were there, with Sam joining us as well. So we had 3 vs. a ton of different teams with a lot more, including our closest competitor which featured 6 cute girls and the next table over who were 3 guys, whom we only could assume were helping them. Not because they were girls, but because the guys kept routinely leaning over and whispering to them during questions.

It didn't matter that they were many and we were few. Tonight, we were on it, and we were destined for victory. Of course with a TINY bit of help from our waitress Chastity (our 4th teammate, who also gave me her number...yay!) but no less, we were trivia gods tonight. Sam, Colver, and I managed to win the first round, more or less take the third round, and got zero points in the second round (always has to be an off one). We needed the betting question in the third round to get it, and due to some help from Chastity and some clever listening skills from us, we got the answer to the question...which was "What keyboard symbol do french people refer to as le petite escargot?" The @ symbol. YES!

No less, it was enough to put us into the last question with us vs. ourselves. Tasha (the head Hooters girl if you will) comes over with her assortment of questions, and we decide Sam should pick because he's the least frequent at Trivia Night and kind of felt like our lucky charm because of how well we were doing. He reaches in, pulls out the question and it is labeled football questions! The question was "How tall is the field goal posts cross bar?" The options were 12 feet, 11 feet, 10 feet, and 9 feet. We immediately crossed off the odd numbers, and it was down to 12 and 10. Due to logical reasoning (Colver and I's ability to touch a crossbar) we chose 10. And we were right! $690 was ours! Can you really get a better evening than that? Tasty food, Live Free or Die Hard, comics, getting a great girls number (Irregardless Colver...irregardless!), and winning a ton of money in trivia? Needless to say, we're on cloud nine and this weekend we're going to live like fat cats. Hurrah Trivia!
