Trivia Monster

Tuesday night I went with Irish to one of the local On Tap locations to see Ben. He was there with his friend for their weekly game of Team Trivia. I have never been very good at trivia, to be honest I suck at it. When I was 9 or 10 I was playing trivia with my brother, my grandmother, and my aunt. When it came to my turn I was so excited to read the next question. To test the knowledge of my family members and to revel in the fact that I knew the answer before they did. Of course I was looking at the answer, but at 9 that doesn't matter. So, my question was as follows: "Where is a cow's sweat glands?" Unfortunately, I was a little too excited and apparently not very good at reading because my question turned into "Where are a cow's sweet glands?" Notice that was SWEET not SWEAT. My loving family nearly knocked each other down to jump on that. They were all laughing hysterically at my screw up. Eighteen years later they still bring that up whenever anyone mentions trivia or cows or me being a dumbass.Over100 hours of therapy and thousands of dollars later and I still can't play Trivial Pursuit. Anyhoo, we watched Ben and John test their knowledge of History while we knocked back a couple of tasty adult beverages. Then we went to John's apartment and hung out way later than I had planned. Plus, I told Irish if she would go with me, we wouldn't stay out long. But, at this point I don't think she cared where she was. So that was our night. A game of Trauma...I mean Trivia, a few beers, and not enough sleep. All in all a pretty good night.
