I went out to the bar with 3 friends after playing hockey on Sunday morning. On the table were trivial pursuit cards. Mr. Cynical picked one of the cards up and asked Blocker and I a question. We both sat there with dumb looks on our faces. After playing 2 hours of hockey, the last thing I want to do is play trivial pursuit.
Tier 3 came into the bar and sat down. It was at that moment when we decided to create a game using those trivial pursuit cards (since clearly we didn’t have a board or the pieces). The first person to answer 3 questions correctly, gets to distribute a shot to one of the other 3 people. We might as well have just titled the game: I do the shots.
Of course, Mr. Cynical is the first one to get 3 points, so as predicted, he delegates one of his shots to me. Fantastic. Then Tier 3 gets 3 more points. And again, the shot goes to me. Tier 3 once again gets another 3 points and delegates a shot to Blocker. Clearly, this game wasn’t in our favor. It also doesn’t help when your competition is stone-aged significantly older and more knowledgeable than you.
We didn’t do the shots yesterday. Thank god. The last thing I needed was to be drunk on a Sunday afternoon. But I’m sure those shots will catch up to me sooner or later.
I hate trivial pursuit. Seriously, no good ever comes out of playing that game.
