Say it! Say Team Ramrod!

Last night Amanda, Jess, Kevin, J, Jen T, and I formed Team Ramrod and took the Windber Hotel trivia night by storm. Beer steak was ordered! Blueberry beer was consumed! Questions were answered!

Amanda and I knew a football question (answer: Tom Landry) and we were pretty pleased with ourselves. J knew that Hank Hill’s dog was named Ladybird. Jen T busted out her Spanish skills. Round three was all Pennsylvania trivia, and Jess and Kev were elated. Apparently, they’re PA trivia freaks. Sure, most Pennsylvanians know the state flower is the mountain laurel and the state bird is the ruffed grouse. But did you know the state drink is milk and the state fish is the brook trout? Jess and Kevin did. They also knew the Great Dane is the state dog and eagerly awaited that question, but it didn’t come. Alas.

We finished in third place, just two points behind the first place team. Our prize was a five dollar gift certificate which we will apply to an appetizer at the next trivia night. We then proceeded to The Ranger for some celebratory ice cream.

Then we spent 90 minutes trying to break into the car of three kids from Florida who had locked themselves out, only to watch the AAA guy do it in 23 seconds. I really must learn how to pick locks.
