Trivia Night

My friends and I went to trivia night again. It is no longer a manhunt, as my single friend bagged one all by herself a couple of weeks ago. I'm so happy for her. It's the first time she's liked a guy in 7 years... usually they last one, maybe two dates and they turn out to be weirdos. Now she's going on date number 5!

We did better than usual at the trivia contest, but didn't win anything. It's tough to say what place we finished in as the computers were down, so all the scores were hand written and out of sequence.

We drank our hard cider and ate "Irish Nachos". These are homemade potato chips, covered in cheese, bacon and sour cream. The pile of them started out bigger than my head, and there was plenty left over for one friend to take a snack home to her husband.

Manhunt Results

Well, my friend is very shy, which I didn't realize before as she is very outgoing at work, and with girlfriends. I tried to get her to ask a guy what time it was, and she was too nervous even to do that.

I said, "What's the worst that could happen? That he tells you it's 8:30?"

We still had fun, played trivia, drank hard cider, and came in 25th place... out of 34. We were doing ok, but the music round really sunk us. I kept teasing her since she's a singer and should know this stuff, but in reality it's really hard to guess a song after only 3 or 4 notes.

We're going out again on her next Tuesday off...Maybe I'll make her sit at the bar instead of a table. She is really beautiful, so I'm sure she'll catch somebody's eye.

Going on a Man Hunt

...well, not me personally, but I'm helping out my friend. She's been on like a million online dates and they've all been duds. Though this has made for some hillarious stories, it's not quite getting her the result that she wants.

There's a pub here in Vegas that has trivia night every Tuesday. We figure that if a guy plays trivia, he might have at least half a brain. It's not a guarantee, but considering the guys that she's been going out with, it seems a lot more promising.

It will be like going shopping, but I don't have to try anything on (which in my opinion is the worst part about shopping). Even if we don't find anyone for her, we'll at least have good drinks, good food and have fun playing. She's good at the music questions, I'm better at the general knowledge.

I am wing-woman, hear me roar!
