Victory Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
When the smoke cleared and the dust settled last night at Keegan's Irish Pub there was only one team standing on top of the trivia heap. And that team was Fraters Libertas or the Xtreme Right Brothers, which was our chosen moniker for the evening. We brushed aside our competition like an attractive woman brushes aside JB's clumsy advances. The defending champions, Team K, were nowhere to be seen and our theory is that they heard the footsteps. After last week's narrow victory they saw the writing on the wall. They read of the rumors of their pending demise and those rumors were not greatly exaggerated. They were the wave (now broken) of the past. We are the wave of the future. Rather than face a humiliating defeat, they buggered off like faint hearted Baathists before the approach of the 82nd Airborne.
Or they might have just been spending the evening at the State Fair.
Either way the fact is that now we are the champions. It might have been a bit over the top last night for Saint Paul to parade around the bar singing the Queen song at the top of his lungs but damnit he earned it and who are you to take it away from him?
Our message to Team K and any others foolhardy enough to challenge our trivia supremacy is simple:
Bring 'em on.
