Yesterday's Wednesday Chat was another great one!
We had an excellent turnout, a ridiculously close game and, for perhaps the first time in GrowDolls history...
THE SCORING APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY ACCURATE.
No points were stolen.
No incorrect answers were rewarded.
Nobody had to file an appeal.
The Championship Committee had the night off.
And somehow...
I WON!
I'd like to say my victory was the result of extensive preparation, superior knowledge and years of disciplined study.
It wasn't.
@Shane Karmann and
@laddyd were both sitting just
one point behind me heading into the final question.
Either one could have ruined everything.
Then Question #10 appeared.
And from the darkness emerged...
@Thurston.
Thurston grabbed the point.
Shane didn't get it.
Laddy didn't get it.
And just like that...
THE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS MINE.
Some people might call that backing into a victory.
Those people are jealous.
I prefer to recognize Thurston's contribution for what it was:
Outstanding championship-level defense.
Thank you for your service, sir.
Meanwhile, a huge welcome to
@Ambz, who joined us for her first Wednesday Chat!
It was awesome having an old friend join the chaos, and hopefully we didn't frighten her away.
Although considering last night's trivia...
I'm not making any promises.
Yesterday was National Dog Day, so I suggested to
@curious2garden that
dogs might make a fun trivia theme.
Annie took that suggestion.
Then added cannabis.
Which sounded perfectly reasonable...
...until about halfway through the game when I realized we'd accidentally created:
HOW TO POISON YOUR DOG: THE HOME GAME
Chocolate?
Bad.
Cannabis?
Bad.
Edibles?
Definitely bad.
By the end of the evening I wasn't sure whether we were playing trivia or studying for an emergency veterinary medicine exam.
In fairness, it was educational.
I now feel considerably better prepared should one of my dogs ever eat an unattended brownie.
I'm just not entirely sure that's what National Dog Day organizers had in mind.
So congratulations to everyone on another fantastic Wednesday night.
Special thanks to Annie for hosting.
Welcome to
@Ambz.
Props to
@Thurston for the championship-saving Question #10 interception.
Condolences to Shane and Laddy, who came within one point of greatness.
And congratulations to your new, completely legitimate, independently verified and unquestionably deserving Wednesday Chat Champion:
ME.
No investigation will be necessary.
I've already looked into it.
Everything checks out.
