So, I’d figured a trivia team comprising Ezra Klein, Megan McArdle, Dave Weigel, and myself would be blogaliciously nerdtastic enough to have a good shot at winning the weekly pub quiz at Wonderland last night. And we got close, but ultimately came in second by one tiebreaker question… to Alex Pareene‘s team.

Never underestimate a dirtblog (sic) scorned. The moment she taunted me w/ “My ‘boyfriend’ (read: c*ckbl*cker) was on Jeopardy,” I vowed then & there – silently, subconsciously – to win this Nerdoff to End All Nerdoffs. The other trivia teams were mere innocent bystanders. – JVLaB

Actually, the DC smoking ban lost us the competition. During the second round you left to take a few puffs, and we blew a question that, upon returning, you revealed the answer to.
Also, Canada.

… I read this post three times over and still failed to see the actual tiebreaker question you lost on. My eyes are failing me, right? You didn’t post this without that crucial information, surely?
