More Trivia
I couldn't find Aces and Eights, so I stopped in Scoundrels for directions.
The barmaid, Donna, happened to be from Kettering, Ohio -- the home
of Cadillac Jacks. After a couple of beers, she got me on the right path
for Aces and Eights.
And guess what? Aces and Eights turned out to be a Steeler bar (and I
was wearing my superbowl champions shirt).
The owner, Dog, is from Pittsburgh and went to the superbowl in Detroit.
He said they have 150-200 Steeler fans at his bar for every game. They also
get about 25 Browns fans for the Steeler-Browns game during which he
puts up police tape to separate the two camps and they engage in friendly
razzing across the tape -- e.g. Steeler fans throw dog biscuits to the Browns fans.
I discovered Aces and Eights the day before the others arrived from Ohio.
I ended up with the two high appeteasr scores for the month, and once
we started playing regular trivia, I got on the national board once. They saw
me at home in Cadillac Jack's and Kraig called to congratulate me (of course
Cadillac Jacks finished higher -- first in the country, in fact).

Once the others arrived, we went back to Aces and Eights and I introduced
everyone to Lee (center) who played with me the day before -- he plays as
SFOBNS
(Shit for Brains) and is an excellent player.

We put up one good set of scores that first day ...
.
And finished second in the country.
.
Bargos and Cadillac Jacks were playing -- we say them in 11th and 12th place.
.
Carol (Kraig's wife) had never been to Las Vegas before. It was nice of her
(downright heroic, in fact) to spend some time playing trivia before
seeing the sights.

Carol and Rob.
The owner and the other players in
the bar were super nice to us.
We will
stop back several times before we leave. Here I am showing off my
tattoo in Aces and Eights. No one is impressed.
