Trivia Team - Winners!
The 2nd incarnation of my daily trivia team, and our first victory. I had assembled a group as the "Nautical Nerds" on Day 1, but after Day 2 I didn't see them again. My wife was convinced that as team captain, I steamrolled my teammates and chose my answers over theirs.
To be fair, given a question like "What was the top-grossing film of the 1950's?", and a situation where we had two decent answers - "Ben-Hur" and "The Ten Commandments" - a choice simply has to be made. And someone has to make that choice, and deal with the consequences, good or bad. That's why we have team captains.
So, by day 4 I re-formed the team with new blood, and also altered the name to "The Marinerds", a much more elegant portmanteau name. And we won! Champagne for everyone? Well, everyone in our team, anyway.
