Blueberries and a Weather Station

Tonight a few of us friends from work hit the local Taco Tuesday down in Newport Beach, complete with our own standing keg and draft Pale Ale. Upon downing the brews and inhaling some killer tacos, it was time for some good old fashioned trivia. Seated about 50 yards away from the nearest screen was a challenge in itself, even with brand spankin' new contacts in. Who knew that turning your head sideways can actually boost your vision, not to mention freak the person out next to you who thinks you've been eyeing them the whole night. Ok, back to the vision test. So as we proceed to kick arse in endless trivia about everything from Dante to the depression, the font used to deliver the questions on the screen seemed to get smaller and smaller. Or perhaps it was our pints were getting emptier and emptier. So small, in fact, that one question seemed to have Diana Ross singing with blueberries. And then of course at the pivotal moment comes head himself, straight out from "So I Married An Axe Murderer." I mean, come on, the text is small enough, and now we also have to look through this giant cranium standing in our way. "Head, move, now!" Only scored 863 points on that one.
