Taiwan SPCA, HTC, and Brass Monkey present A TRIVIAL PURSUIT

Dragonbabe and I have joined the team, so we’re at five, and will probably have six. Big table por favor.

I’d love to join all of you, but I don’t think I can manage this time. I know it’d be a lot of fun, though. It sounds like a dream team, really.

Adios muchacho!

Mexican yarn question–scrapped

About the porn question: Can you tell me which decade? I need to know where to focus my ongoing research for the rest of the week.

Now you’re faced with a dilemma. It’s a visual question. But you’ll be blind by then.

mr. sausage will be there. :sunglasses:

Will be grand to meet you, Sir!

Sorry, I’m not going to be able to make it after all.

Sorry to hear that, Funkster.

Some GREAT news, though: The incredibly generous people at the Brass Monkey are donating 10 PERCENT of all sales from the quiz to the Taiwan SPCA! :bravo: :discodance: :notworthy:

That’s an extremely generous offer. It means that the more you guys eat and drink, the more money goes to helping animals in need and preventing animal cruelty on the island.

See you Sunday!

I’m firmly committed to pulling my weight.

Hi! Is it too late to join now?

Evenstar, if you have a team, sign up now; if you’re by yourself, see if the Forumosa team needs you, or just pop by on the night and we’ll introduce you to some cool people who have an empty place in their team. Hope to see you there!

Ok. I’ve had enough whiskies to not care about the embarrassment of knowing nothing except cricket and porn. I’m going to lean heavily on Dragonbones and Mucha Man. I’ll fetch drinks for them while they answer the questions. Oh, the humiliation!

I’m not part of team, well, not yet. jimipresley, is the forumosa team full?

Evenstar: I’m not sure, but as Stray Dog said, there will be many teams for you to join. Come along and have a chat and a drink! I’m the short, bald, fat dude with a stripey purple shirt, looking bewildered.

Great evening! Wonderful to meet Mr Mucha Man and Ms Evenstar! Always a pleasure to see Mr Dragonbones and the irrepressible Dragonbabe! I think I even knew the answer to one question!

Thank you, Stray Dog!

That was fun. We got creamed but it was all for a good cause. Great to meet Evenstar, too! :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for coming and making it such a hugely successful evening; we estimate that, thanks to your support, we raised something in the region of
NT$170,000
for the SPCA! That is incredible.

Eric Tu was great as host and very kind to donate his time, as was Manchuker, who even got up and gave an impromptu performance!

One of our supporting vets, Dr Yeh in Bitan, won the HTC Desire!

And Simon the book guy and battery9 and their team walked away with the top prize, albeit just by the skin of their teeth.

What we learned: quiz needs to be shorter and a little easier (not easy to get that middle ground, but we’ll aim for much easier next time). And we need to not add any dodgy movie files right before the actual event; we spent a large part of the evening in the back repairing deleted questions.

Thanks, all, for your patience and understanding. The bits that didn’t go so well were down to me, of course, but luckily we have a great team of people making sure that everything else went smoothly.

Thanks again for your support–this was the most successful fund-raiser I’ve been involved with to date.

Bless you!

Sean, can you notify me of stuff like this so i can put it on my blog?

Sure, and thank you! What’s the best way of doing that?

By the way, my estimate of the total raised was a little high, but we did bring in around NT$150,000 for the SPCA, which is still a record-breaker, and just fantastic–thanks again, all!
