PUB TRIVIA: A DUEL TO THE DEATH?

Last night turned out to be a strange one, more bizarre than what was expected for a Wednesday night during Passover.

The evening started innocent enough with an office party gathering after work. Nothing special. About thirty folks from one of the local banks getting together for drinks. The way it was scheduled, it was to run and end just around the time that Pub Trivia started. Someone forgot to give these guys the memo, however, as they ended up partying long past their "official end time". That ended up creating a bit of a ruckus during Trivia; at one point, the host of the office party even took over the mike and led the crowd to a very bad version of "The Gambler". It was that kind of a night.







To add to the chaos of that, was Pub Trivia itself. Between the high-spirited competitiveness of the event itself and the drunken folks from the office party trying to chime in at every opportunity, it became an all-out shitshow. We had teams ready to go at each other's throats (one girl actually stormed out of the bar in tears at one point), over the course of the event and I found myself mystified at how hardcore these teams get over something like Pub Trivia. Bizarre indeed. I don't recall ever seeing girls ready to go to blows over Trivia before...
