One player bet his teammates 100 beers, that there were a lot of Filipinos in Rooty Hill. He will be drinking for free for quite a while.
When we asked about The Blind Side, one team answered with “dog sh!t American football film that is all fake”, which we deemed close enough.
One team tried to help their neighbour with the answers to a question on basketball. Out of five answers they were given for free, they got two.
We played a song that was easy to belly dance to, and one player who happened to be at the bar broke into a belly dance. It was like an involuntary movement.
One player whose life did not overlap with Frank Sinatra at all immediately recognised his rendition of “That’s Life”, and sang along.
And when they forgot to do their homework on what SSRI stands for in anti-depressants, one team came up with Super Sad Rectification Immediately.
