our trivia name last night was, in fact, word to your mother. we won mainly because it was very not sporty last night -- only one three point question

Posted by amanda Oct 12 '12, 06:10

michael jordan has won the NBA finals MVP six (or maybe five) times. name the three people who have one the NBA finals MVP three times.

we were all like, kobe, shaq, magic. and then shaun made us doubt. so we guessed bill someone, someone whose last name started with an H, and some other guy.

again: really bad at sports.

turns out it was shaq and magic and tim duncan, who apparently, "everyone always forgets."

we almost got into a fistfight about klingon blood. "what warrior race has purple blood?" someone wanted to write "wookie," someone wanted to write something that started with an A. we actually crossed out and rewrote like six times. as soon as we handed in, I asked you guys to shut everyone up. so thanks for that.

so that happened.
