The power of Flo compels you!

So, I'm working on creating a routine in this new life of mine, and the one thing that I do consistently every week is play trivia with friend Sharon. It's part of an on-going trivia group called Geeks Who Drink (website here) and has been the source of much mirth and merriment over the summer. Sharon and I started going in the late spring, and we dubbed ourselves with the team name of Bulldogs as a tip of the hat to our alma mater, Bearden High. We were quite the powerhouse as a duo, coming in second or third each time. One evening an audio question was asked about what wait person was speaking and Sharon and I looked at each other blankly until "WELL KISS MY GRITS" was uttered and we both jumped for pencils to scribble in Flo from Alice. Later in the round a question was asked about some young singer I have no idea who he was at the time and who could kick me in the knee as I walk down the street right now and I'd still have no clue who he was, but when the answers were revealed and Flo from Alice was announced we YESSSS'ed and high five'ed and when the other singer who I still can't think of was announced and another team YESSSSS'ed and high five'ed..... the math started clicking and we met the other duo after the round and....

A dream team was born. 

Please meet our new friends, the Darling Physicist Duo:

these two are adorable to the power of infinity. and yes that's me behind them.

Here's the last six weeks of us at trivia - all the while trying to establish a solid team name:

Last night's battle was no exception to the mirth and merriment rule. Much fun was had by all, and at the end of the evening Disney's Twerk Mountain prevailed once again.

Please enjoy a snapshot montage of last night's game regarding the reasons why we are such a great team: 

"Is the net worth of Mitt Romney greater or less than one million dollars?"

Sharon: His house in the Hamptons is worth $26 million and anyone with that kind of house is going to have a net worth or more than $100 million.

"What is the make and model of these cars...." (Sharon snatches pencil) "of these Transformers?" (Sharon shoves paper away as Andrew gasps and snatches pencil.)

Sharon: Wait a minute. James Garner played Optimus Prime?

"Is the core temperature of the sun greater or less than one million degrees Fahrenheit?" 

Andrew: *gasp!* But I only know the core temperature of the sun in Kelvin!!

Matthew: *grabbing paper and pencil* Never mind! We can do the math!

(It should also be noted that in the greater or less than round the physicists also did the math {correctly, I might add} in figuring out the density of the Hoover Dam and how many miles it is from Earth to the sun by using the speed of light.)

the intensity is overwhelming. math is hard.

Please note as well: I contributed nothing of value to the greater or less than round. I did, however, identify the song on the speakers as a ditty sung by Christina Aguliera and entertained everyone by singing loudly all the correct words to "Candyman."

And it didn't hurt that we sat under this new art installation last night:

grits officially kissed.

And that, friends, is winning.

Peace out, K-Town.
