When The Going Gets Tough...
The tough win trivia matches. After taking a two week hiatus from play, Team Fraters had suffered rare back to back setbacks in the Thursday night trivia competitions at Keegan's Irish Pub. And heading into last night's action, the prospects of halting the skid didn't look promising, with two of the regular foursome out of the lineup. But Saint Paul and I pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps, looked defeat in the mirror, and told it to sod off.
We were helped in our efforts by a forked tongue marketing consultant, who also advised us on potential spin offs and promotional efforts to expand the Fraters brand. I'm not sure about the McDonald's Happy Meal Fraters toy tie in, but I did like the idea of a Saturday morning cartoon show (apparently Andy Dick has already signed on to voice Atomizer). And our victory probably would not have been possible if not for the aid of a goateed, chapeau wearing stranger (I think he was one of the guys from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy) seated next to Saint Paul at the bar.
Unfortunately, the kinship with said stranger did not last long after our triumph, as he was a bit put off by our boisterous political discussion with Keegan's publican. Terry is a Vietnam vet and let's just say that he doesn't exactly hold John Kerry in high regard. I think he's more of Dennis Kucinich kind of guy.
