O Canada

1/9: Playing as "Who?"

There might be a theme developing in the team names... Sadly, our final score does not reflect our strong performance in the audio round (violin versions of songs) and Canada-knowledge!

We *did* however, win a very nifty bumber sticker ("My other car is the Pope-mobile"), which has been making an appearance around the parking lot and office over the past week...

If I left it there, how long would it take for someone to notice?

My rental car

I like the juxtaposition to the sheriff's star...

What would the popemobile look like having lost a fender?

We can all dream...

Actually, I think the Pope might prefer to trade up for this model...






Attendance dwindles

12/19 - Playing as "3 Men...?"

Started the round alone, expecting a team of three. I think our lack of diversity showed in the score, but we did win a nifty "Obey your Quizmaster" pint glass, which has been added to the kitty in my filing cabinet.

12/12 - First work colleague group, playing as "Team Terrible at Cultural References…(FYI)"

A good turnout, mixed gender, mixed generations, but not mixed results. Second place!

"Solo" performances

For completeness, I'm listing some early "appearances" of myself in this quiz, before coworkers began to join.

12/5: Playing with J as "Paperwaste"

This week was the 1-year anniversary for the Trivia Master, so every team had an equal opportunity to win one of three paintings by local artist CINDER, from her own collection. I didn't win one, but I thought the idea was very cool.
