Freaks, assemble!

Last night's Wednesday Chat was a huge success, featuring laughs, cannabis internet lore, and what can only be described as a complete collapse of basic test-taking skills.

Congratulations to @Milky Weed on the victory, posting an impressive 6 out of 10 points.

Now, I'm not saying he was peeking at the answer card...

But when four separate questions had "All of the Above" as the correct answer and he kept getting them right, people are going to start asking questions.

Very smart people.

The best people.

Meanwhile, defending champion @Starecase was absent and missed his opportunity for a threepeat.

Historians will debate this for years.

Some will say he was on vacation.

Others will say he saw the category and made a business decision.

We'll probably never know.

@curious2garden managed to collect two points despite being with us in name only.

Also, a huge thank you to Annie for all the work she's put in behind the scenes. The site is running beautifully, the performance issues appear to be behind us, and we're all grateful for the ridiculous amount of effort that went into getting us here.

She's tired.
She's probably a little cranky.
And after the week she's had, she's earned the right to be both. 😄

@Shane Karmann and @laddyd each grabbed a point.

Shane has now officially moved from "ending his skunk streak" to "establishing a modest scoring streak," which is progress.

And @laddyd somehow managed to score while operating under conditions that would make most NASA engineers uncomfortable.

Finally, I feel obligated to point out that FOUR of the ten questions had "All of the Above" as the answer.

FOUR.

This means a significant portion of chat has forgotten the first rule of multiple-choice tests:

Read all the answers before proceeding.

The education system has failed us.

Thanks everyone for another great night.

The servers are fast.
The community is awesome.
And the trivia remains completely, totally, unquestionably not rigged.

Defend the title or walk the abandoned railbed and restored trestles of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail ... hmmm.
Historians will debate this for years.
That's debatable.
Some will say he was on vacation. Others will say he saw the category and made a business decision.
And others say that they were trying to get back to the parking lot before the impressive Flashy Boom booms arrived from the southwest.
We'll probably never know.
I'll bring receipts?
 
Every now and then, one actually benefits from "The left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing."

While waiting in Enterprise line for the Chevy Malibu I had reserved, the right hand rented that car to the couple in front of us. The left hand was surprised to see the car was suddenly not available. So the left and right hands had a little pow wow.

And thanks to the right hands error, the left hand upgraded me to the Audi A3 at no charge. I told the left hand I was now in love with her.

Man ... can this little bugger take those mountain curves.
 
Tonight, Wednesday Chat returns.

The servers are fast.
The site is stable.
The excuses are running out.

@Milky Weed enters as the reigning champion after posting an impressive 6-point performance last week.

A performance that was so impressive, in fact, that several independent observers have begun asking whether he possesses advanced knowledge of the phrase "All of the Above."

No formal investigation has been opened.

Yet.

Meanwhile, @Starecase may or may not return from his mysterious BC vacation. After missing his opportunity for a threepeat, questions remain.

Was it truly a vacation?

Or was it strategic load management?

Only he knows.

Tonight also marks the return of @curious2garden to the host chair.

Which means we once again ask the eternal question:

Will there be a tiebreaker question?

History says no.

Hope says yes.

Science remains inconclusive.

As for me, I am officially available to compete tonight and would like to announce that I am coming for @Milky Weed's title.

Respectfully, of course.

By respectfully, I mean I intend to challenge every answer, question every ruling, and immediately file a complaint if I lose.

@Shane Karmann enters tonight riding a one-game scoring streak.

Momentum is a dangerous thing.

@laddyd remains one edible away from achieving pure energy, but continues to be a surprisingly effective trivia competitor despite operating several dimensions ahead of the rest of us.

And @DarkWeb is expected to continue his tireless work investigating scorekeeping integrity on behalf of the people.

🕗 8–10pm Eastern

Come hang out, talk grows, laugh, and witness what will almost certainly become another completely fair, totally legitimate, and definitely-not-rigged night of Wednesday Chat.

Unless I lose.

Then we'll review the tape.

Smack talk detector went off. Snark engaged.

At the foot of Cathedral Mountain outside Field BC ...
After missing his opportunity for a threepeat, questions remain. Was it truly a vacation
They do?
Or was it strategic load management?
What ... like Kawhi Leonard?
Only he knows.
My adoration for these snow covered massives does make the choice difficult, but I am coming back cause I can't smoke a mountain.

I have 10 cuts under the dome waiting for my return. Should be rooted by the time we get back on Monday.
