Mon December 5 at 7:30 PM, Tommy Doyle's Harvard Square
96 Winthrop St, Cambridge, MA, USA (Map & Directions)
Let's celebrate the impending birthdays of a couple of our Geeks Who Drink regulars, Monday night at Tommy Doyle's.
Wow, what a big day for Mefites Who Geekily Drink, birthdaywise! I'm sad to say I'll be missing it, but here's to continuing the domination of the Tatery Geeks in celebration of their birthdays!

I have class once again on Monday, but then it's winter break! So I'll be there for the next one.

Well, I'm not a trivia regular but I did show up once and I do share a birthday with two regulars. Let me see how the day goes and what my options for getting in and out of Harvard Square are. I'll put myself down for a maybe.
Reddit will be there to sing us Happy Birthday, right?

Selected categories:
* P.S.
* Two Millennia In Stuff
* Physics For 'Tards (I'm really hoping that's a pun of some kind)
* Movies That Are the Pitts (Sounds like we should brush up on Brangelina movies)
* Chanukah Songs

I'm hoping "Physics For 'Tards" lost an S and will actually be a Doctor Who category.

I just have to say I was having a pretty crappy day up until this outing, and the (inevitable) Taters sweep was just icing on the (Jessamyn-provided) cake. See you guys next time!

I had fun! I might even have to show up at more of these things. Mefites are pretty damn smart.
Thank you for the cake, Jessamyn! Happy (one hour 'till) birthday, maryr and not_on_display!
Also, this.

Yes! That is also how I knew what was in "Cheese."
In conclusion, the MetaFilter two-party system cannot be defeated!

Winning the quiz was Eleven Taters Tating, who jumped four spots in round eight to claim victory. They were closely followed by Afterbirth Taters, scorers of a perfect round two that they jokered for a whopping 32 points. (The two tater teams were right in front of me, so no they were not cheating. I watched them like a hawk.)
/Points fingers at own eyes, then at quizmaster.

Additional thanks for the cake, Jessamyn!
Hope both you Jims. Mine involved hotpot and TWO flavors of ice cream. Fortunately, not concurrently.
