Remember how I talked about my prowess at trivia? It deserted me last night, as Team Echidna came in four points behind the winners (the wonderfully named Empathetic Bullfighters).  Still, we were a team of two, they were a team of six.  Sheer numbers -- or lack thereof -- ought to count for something.

However, the night before, playing Buzztime trivia at Applebee's, my ranking for the next to last game was ... 1.  In the NATION.  It was 11 p.m., but still... from what I could tell from the rankings shown, there were about 4,000 people playing all across the country.

Not shabby.  Not shabby at all.
