Prior to the convention, someone asked me what the prize was for winning the Chairman's Pub Quiz. My response was bragging rights. Little did I know, nor never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate that our team would win. Our team, made up of "the little people at DailyKos" (plus one journalist, one state representative) beat out the DailyKos front pagers at DailyKos. The front pagers team is named Sea Org. They have been the champions for the past two years. They were a force to be reckoned with but our team, MinnesONOZ, rose to the challenge and wiped the floor with them.
(Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but remember, we won the bragging rights!)
This win is comparable to getting a hole in one....when you are playing Tiger Woods!
