trivial matters...

so it comes down to double jeopardy yesterday during the whalloping of musc and mcg by the uscsom. and by double jeopardy i mean that with a category and a half to go we didn't even have to worry about answering any more questions for the entire game including final jeopardy in order to win the game. yep, going into final jeopardy the score was 10,000 to 2500 [mcg] and 1400 [musc]. it was a demolishing decemation unleashed in the musc audirorium in front of ones of people... i would say tens, but there were not twenty people there excluding the players that were in attendance of the match, i thus figured that pleuralizing 'one' would somehow sound more impressive... but alas, it somehow falls short. anywho, our team of daniel gillstrap [soon to be internal medicine resident at johns hopkins], ken iverson [soon to be ent [no not mythical creature of the tolkein novels] resident at mcg], courtney gleason [soon to be m4] and myself [soon to be plastics resident at kansas] was truly amazing and made our school proud. before the game began gillstrap and i had a little discussion where we decided that we hated jeopardy/trivia games that came down to final jeopardy/last question. we thus had the goal in mind of not really needing the final jeopardy question to be dicisive... and it wasn't... eventhough it was easy. the topic was endocrine and the question asked what made up the MENIIa syndrome. so our small wager didn't seem so impressive eventhough we got it right we were just being conservative to finalize the score at 11,000 to 5,000 to 0 [i can't believe they missed it!].
anywho, the musc team was made up of three soon to be ortho residents and a 4th of whom i am not sure and the mcg team was made up by 3 girls, one whom i met on the plastics interview trail is going to do general surgery in kansas next year [wicheta], one matched into neurosurgery at duke [probably a bright girl... but not for this trivia domination team] and the other i don't know.
ok, so that is probably way too much detail as to the trivia game... but in the end it was a lot of fun and afterwards we went to ken's friend's house on the water before we headed over to one of the ent's houses for a social in charleston. it was definately a pleasant experience before jb and i hit up downtown chucktown on sat. night... but that is another story for another time... good times i might add! preesh bro... your a rock star!
peace and love,
