I wasn&#8217;t, I dunno, picking strategically or anything. Jonathan, Cara, and Buchhiet were people I knew wanted in. Cara suggested I grab Cole, who brought some sports knowledge and history degree stuff. Jonathan brought in Kenny, who was just a wellspring of random trivia. Essner suggested I grab Mason, and I totally did, who helped us knock the crap out of the movie rounds. Cara had several good obscure saves, and Buchhiet was a powerhouse, working with Kenny on the Sports Maths to make that work, and pulling in all kinds of knowledge like coin collector knowledge I certainly didn&#8217;t know he had.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, I was probably the weakest link, and I still caught a couple of them. (And destroyed the category about grammar, because come fucking on. Grammar category.)<\/p>\n<p>We cracked jokes, we had fun, and we dominated most of the teams there. I managed not to get into any awkward conversations with former teachers and such. It was an awesome night, and I am so glad I decided to get everyone together to go and do it. I hope everyone else was glad too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all win at trivia! Okay, well, we got third.
