In a rare twist this week, friends, I have very little to complain about or beat myself up over. Oh happy day! The biggest drama came at the quiz’s outset, when my brain misfired (gotta lay off the smack) and I suddenly and arbitrarily decided I’d printed off the ANSWER KEY for handout #2 and not the actual handouts themselves. I called Executive Assistant Renee in a panic and shouted, “Can you print off 20 more yellow handouts before you come here!” And she shouted “YES, you fool!” And then, because we generally have the answer key and the handout itself in the same Word document and she didn’t know that because it’s not her job to print handouts for the quiz and I am a jerk for making her do it, she ended up printing off the answer key as well. So it was all a lot of wacky hi-jinks for the same result.

THEN, I looked in my bag and realized that no, contrary to my stupid, drug-and-god-knows-what-addled brain, I actually HAD printed out the right handouts all along, and NOT the answer key, and that I had sent Renee on a completely unnecessary mission. By that point, however, I’d already accidentally passed out Renee’s newly, freshly printed answer key to half the room. So had to cancel that one, with apologies (mostly to best-assistant-ever Renee). But oh the memories we’ll have! Right? Right?

Congrats are in order to Porkchop Express, relative newcomers who didn’t just win tonight, but won with a commanding lead that they garnered early on and never relented. I really think they could be one of the venerable “Super Teams” if they continue to come, joining Beige Food, Scooby’s Red Rocket and all you other terrifying geniuses out there. They seem like they have what it takes.

Best team name of the night: Moulin Spooge
