Last night was different. Our waitress was on her A game. That’s all I want from a server. Someone that doesn’t have to hover over me, but did not forget me or treat me with contempt.
So, the trivia master was Pete, a guy we had over at Maddio’s for a few weeks. And he remembered me! Am I really more memorable than I give myself credit for? I must be if a girl from 6th grade was so excited to find me on Facebook.
I took some rubber duckies. We didn’t play under the name, but the joke at Maddio’s was what duck would I have each week. Back then, we’d compete against each other, as well at Wild Wings Cafe out in Pooler. At other locations, we have just joined forces.
I haven’t seen my Trivia Buddies since our mutual friend, Hai, had a birthday party last April. That’s how long it’s been for trivia for me. The last time I went to trivia was with Melinda to one night at Fiddlers last year. I didn’t like how expensive Fiddlers was for trivia.
Since it had been a while and B & D isn’t too expensive, I went this week. I forgot how fun trivia was with my pals. We’re a motley crew. And that’s the best! The main thing is we have 2 common loves: trivia and using the knowledge to get food or money.
I think I loved it the most when Quentin was hell bent on beating this one guy and his team there. It was some guy I’d constantly Beat at Wild Wings, but was a tough competitor. Quentin didn’t care where we placed. He just wanted to beat the guy that beat them last week. Q was quite pleased when not only beat the guy, but we won. I don’t think we could have done it without Sam’s sister; she knew how to spell Schwarzenegger.
Now, to get back into the habit again.
