- We took down the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, 150 to 140. At the very
- end, as the clock was running out, the opponents got a wrong answer, which
- gave us a free shot. We had no clue, so I buzzed in and said "Pope Sterno
- Keckhaver." The other teams fans seemed to think that this was a little
- sleazy, because it used up the remaining 15 seconds or so, and we were
- ahead. I'm not gonna feel guilty, though, 'cause:
-
- 1) There wouldn'ta been time to read another question anyway.
- 2) I hadn't been thinking "I can make the clock run out", I had been
- thinking, "Hey, here's a chance to mention Pope Sterno Keckhaver."
- 3) Although the Horsemen had been plenty sporting, their fans had been
- total assholes.
- 4) They want my Slack.
-
- We had a very OverManly (or in the case of jpatters@willamette.edu,
- UberFrauly) approach to bonus questions: They'd ask 'em, I, yo no soy
- marinero, soy capitan, soy capitan, soy capitan, would look at my team,
- they'd shrug, and I'd produce the correct answer.
-
- The announcer also KNEW ABOUT "Bob"!!! He even related a story,
- apparently told by Garrison Keillor, about a Bobist temple set up in South
- Carolina. The Bob who set that up was going to name it after his wife,
- but there's already a religion named after her. Her name is Judy.
-
- Btw, has anybody dug _The Bob Book_? It's got plaid stuff on the cover,
- implying Scottishness, but my Third Gnostril tells me it's still CRAP!
-
- We (CCf"B") have from 2 to 4 games tomorrow, depending on how we and the
- other molecules in the gas of College Bowl do. Sit on $20 and mail it to
- us, but do it by Federal Espresso, or it may be TOO LATE!
