Friendship IS magic!

Tuesday night trivia was a summer staple, but when the school year came, Tuesday night beers and question-answering went. Tonight was the first time Cas and I made it out to the Addison Ice House for a game since the thanksgiving break, and our team was fabulous.

He and I were there, of course. His brother Chad was present with his wife Becky, and Jerone finally brought Julie out for a game. It was an all-couples team, and we kind of crushed it. 

Quizmaster Brett announced the scores periodically throughout the evening, and aside from being tied for first place after round three, we were in the lead all by ourselves for the remainder of the evening. We're #1. No, really. We are. 

The funny thing is that Chad and Becky arrived before us. Brett saw Chad and took him for Cas in a curly hair wig. Then he saw that Chad was with a brunette woman. He thought there were two distinct possibilities- either Cas has a brother with a very similar face or Cas was going incognito on a date with another woman, hoping that the wig would be a sufficient disguise. 

When Cas walked in with me and we said hello to Brett, he immediately said to Cas, "You have a brother, and he is here." 

It was kind of hilarious. 

The fifth round is a visual round, meaning that the answers are based on recognition of pictures. The content for the visual round is distributed at the beginning of the game. This time, the pictures were of flying people or things in movies. There was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Birdman, that creepy white monster from Neverending Story- you get the idea. One of the pictures looked like it may have been from a My Little Pony cartoon movie. We guessed Friendship is Magic, but it was the answer about which we were the least certain. We were incorrect. Some other My Little Pony movie, I'm afraid. Still, it gave us a dumb enough team name. We called ourselves "Friendship is magic." 

Come to think of it, I wish I would have gotten a pic of the art Cas put on the cards. Each one of the first seven was all dolled up with hearts, rainbows, stars, etc. I'm pretty sure he got Julie to draw a unicorn on one of them. The card for round eight (the last round, of course) was covered in the stuff of a death metal album cover. Oh, Cas. So funny. 

Anyhow, it's actually Wednesday now. Midnight came and went... I should get under the covers and sleep. I'll steal a photo of our team from Brett's blog tomorrow, but until then, good night, all!
