Two Points

Two points.

That's all that separated us from the top prize at Murphy's Trivia Night. Winning team = 70 points. Our team = 68 points.

TWO POINTS. BALLS BALLS BALLS!

DOS PUNTOS. PELOTAS PELOTAS PELOTAS!

I can recall several moments when we second-guessed ourselves -- moments that would have won us eternal fame and glory!

- The flag of Scotland? We answered Wales. BALLS.

- The color of the star on North Korea's flag? Red. We answered white. PELOTAS.

(Okay, this makes it sound like it was an all-flag trivia night. It wasn't. It's just a coincidence).

But you know what? We've never, EVER done that well in any pub quiz, and it was very exciting to even hear our team name read aloud for all the world to hear. It was glorious. What was our team name, you ask?

Midwestern Marvels.

Also? SECOND PLACE! WOO! PELOTAS!

Oh wait, no. Woo!
