(no subject)
Upon reading Pinyan's (jonpin ) recounting of ACF regionals in Chicago, I recalled this:
The most interesting thing that happened at ACF regionals at Stanford...a team of three people in our weird little singles tournament bageled (received zero points on) a fairly easy "Office Space" bonus. Clues essentially were: 1) restaurant Jennifer Aniston's character worked at, 2) the no talent ass clown who shares his name with David Herman's character, and 3) the office item Milton did not want to give up. The color of the answer to number three was not even required, merely the brand. Everyone else present at the tournament would have 30'd it. I imagine every other person in North America between the ages of 15 and 35 would have 30'd it.
Except, apparently for Pinyan:
JP math nut: for the record, i would've said stapler [prompt] red stapler [prompt] blow me
meecrob5: you couldn't come up with swingline?
JP math nut: no
meecrob5: you are dead to me
By the way, the horrible excuse of a team who bageled the bonus included Ray Luo of UCLA, who averaged something close to 30 ppg in the round robin.
