I finally went and did something tonight. I went to a bar with Tom and his girlfriend.

There happened to be a guy there who just started running this Trivia game there last week. Bunch of general trivia, sports, and then there’s a soundbite from a movie to guess and also a TV theme song.

Beside me was a man who must have had 20 beers in him before we sat down at 9:30. He kept trying to talk to me. I only say “trying” because his speech was so fucked up you would think he was from… Canada, or something. So anyway it came time to pick a team name. Me, being the crazy one started naming off some random things… some of which I thought were pretty damned good.

“Iverson’s Cornrows”

“The Guy In The Brown Jacket Is Single”

“What?”

Then that drunk guy started talking to me again and finally asked my name and then introduced himself as Michael. No, he wasn’t gay as it’s starting to sound like he was. So I said to him “Well, Mike, my friends and I need a team name. “Ahi poogh tiniman?” said Mike.

No, Mike… A TEAM NAME.

Mike moves his reddened and glazed eyes over to my friends and back to me and with a little stutter, Mike breathes one drunken word: “Elbow”

Well, obviously we HAD to use it! So we played as Elbow. We didn’t do so well. In fact, we were tied for last out of about 7 teams. But don’t think for one second Elbow won’t be back next week!! Oh yes! We plan on going back and kicking some major …knee!

The MIDI is for Dan — cuz he’s special. This is the first request I’ve gotten so far for The Daily MIDI. I couldn’t find the other one he suggested. Sorry. This song is “To Live Is To Die” by Metallica.
