Sharks, Fab 5 top field at Temple Sinai

What did you do Saturday night? I hosted a megillah but haymish quiz night at Temple Sinai Social Hall up in Tenafly, New Jersey. Somehow I've become the northern Jersey synagogue go-to entertainment goy, which is gants gut bei mir.

Temple Sinai had a lot of prizes to give away, so we kinda broke the night into the first four rounds, won by those nudniks the Kvetches with a respectable 85, and the last two, won by The Fab 5 with a nice 71, with a shaygets or two on that team.

Totaling scores we have:

Beautiful Gelt: oy vey is mir, tie!
The Fab 5 139
Sharks 139
Bissela Bronze: Kvetches 122

Bupkes:

Smart Asses 100


A sheynam dank!

Chris Cosh Sucks wins once-every-six-weeks-or-so University of Maryland alum quiz at the Field House

... while a speed-dating event went on in the same area, and while a group of Virginia Tech alum group watched their football game with the sound up right next to me. Next time, could we book a live band, and maybe some jugglers?

Chris Cosh is the Maryland defensive coordinator apparently. Now you know.

Fun group, I'll see you folks again in January!
