It was a great night at Biddy’s, where I filled in Dave’s shoes for a night as he is off in the vacationland of his choice. Schadenfreud came in first place, with Overly Squirrely nabbing the 2nd place bounty. Team Jojo hit third, but only because they bet big and didn’t know the final question answer. At least they put their money where their mouth is! Go big or go home, right? Right.
It was a fun crowd at Biddy’s, and I actually got to know the trio that placed first in the pub quiz afterwards. They had a full sized professional Scrabble board all set up and invited me in. I dilly dallied for almost 5 minutes before I gave in and played a round (I was tired for some reason, but… Scrabble and beer!). It was awesome, but I came in last place. By a lot. They were like Scrabble Wizard ™ or something. I’d call them Scrabble Sharks if there was money on the line. It was fun though, and I got to see someone use all seven letters in one go, just like the professionals do! (Damn you, Mark. I’m looking up “Thumpers” just in case…)
All in all, it was a blast. I’d love to come back, just for a beer if not to host some pub quiz action.
Well, as they say - I am the mayor of sleepytown, and my people need me. Night y’all.
