Knowledge bowling

Here's Claire and her Knowledge Bowl team, rolling to a victory in this rollicking quarter final round. "The Scream," said Claire, and "Hotel California," and "John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr." "Washington DC," she said, and "a-s-s-i-s-t-a-n-t." She even knew enough, somehow, to say "Havasupai."

On the next day they nearly pushed through to the next round, save for __'s brain cramp on that one painfully obvious question near the end. But who hasn't done that in their lives? They lost by one, and had fun, and these happy pictures are still worth thousands. High School!

(Not for much longer, mind you. Next year two, and possibly three of these teammates are going to become college roommates.)
