Last night I attended a smallish dinner party with a group of friends at which much wine was drunk, leading to the somewhat regrettable decision to attempt a round of 20th Anniversary Trivial Pursuit. Imagine a roomful of otherwise intelligent adults, struck dumb by multiple glassfuls of fermented grapes. That's entertainment!
The game took considerably longer to finish than it normally would, what with all the giggling. But the clincher was the way in which it was won, by me, for the girls' team (yes, intelligent adults sometimes still fall prey to the well-worn "girls vs. boys" approach to competition).
Indeed, it was I who single-handedly won the whole shebang for the girls with one simple answer: "Hank, the Angry Drunken Dwarf." I haven't listened to a certain radio show since leaving New York and yet, somehow, the mind never forgets the really important stuff. Thank you, Howard Stern, for helping us girls kick ass.

Posted by: james at November 22, 2005 09:10 AMfunny you should post this in such a timely fashion... Stern moves to Sirius in '06 and has his last few shows on in the coming days... no more terrestrial radio for the King of All Media. I'm happy you brought such warm fuzzy memories to mind for the game. Prepare for a new match in L.A. on Friday, Ayelet. No boys vs. girls though, Craig could beat us single-handedly... it's scary. Can't WAIT to hug the new and improved you!
