Last night The Helvetica Quartet rocked it out once more, pulling third place in the West Seattle pub quiz. This was due largely to the efforts of the other party members,* as I blew a brain fart over the “Friends” category; and likewise I mysteriously forgot a few key particulars from my embarrassingly comprehensive mental compendium of 80s music trivia.

I’m not sure what was wrong with me. I’d only ingested a couple of ciders, so I really have no excuse for forgetting that the song by Wham! which goes, “And I’m nevah gonna dance again / guilty feet have GOT no rhythm …” was actually called “Careless Whispers.” I knew that. I know I knew that. It was the slow-dance snuggle-grope special when I was in 7th grade.

Oh well. We’ve killed second place (last week) and kicked the ass of third, so one of these days we’re bound to take the top title away from The Dharma Initiative or SMRT — the two teams that seem to be our biggest rivals.

And I hope we do it soon. I’m not sure how many more beer/whiskey advertisement tee shirts of near-victory I can reasonably stuff into my closet.**

** Last night’s take: a black Smithwick’s tee and a fistful of plastic shot glasses.
