Notes & Quotes
Today’s game was played at the Detroit Lakes Pavilion in Detroit Lakes, Minn., to kick off the Water Carnival. Only three regulars made the trip, so Meatsauce drew a rube’s name from the audience to pick a fourth.
Ben: “Is Don Larson a guy?” (He got the point.)
Cory: “Trust me Travis, we’re all cheering for you because we don’t want Sauce to win.”
The crowd booed when the answer was Don Lucia, either because Sauce got it right or they were all NDSU fans.
Meatsauce: “Somebody smells like chlorine.”
Hawk: “Sorry about that. I went swimming last night.”
Meatsauce: “It might be me.”
After Paul incorrectly guessed Detroit Lakes for Item 11…
Cory: “Detroit Lakes was established in 1930… hmm.”
Meatsauce: “I don’t know.”
Cory: “Okay.”
Meatsauce: “Wait, there’s been 80 of these—whoops, that’s not right.”
Cory: “Detroit Lakes is a city. This is the Water Carnival, which we said started in 1935. God, your logic is so awful.”

Notes & Quotes
Meatsauce said he pulled his groin after he got up and left the room following his game-clinching correct answer for Item 11.
Cory: “Uh-oh, this could be interesting. Sauce is in the zone. He’s ready for those metaphors at that damn art show.”
Ben: “Stop looking at my list, AJ!”
AJ: “It’s not working, Ben!”
Meastsauce: “Obviously your list is garbage.”
AJ: “So wait, Chris missed Winston Cup but got Wilt Chamberlain? It makes no sense.”
White Castle was the Don Cheadle of today’s game.
Cory: “Of course, Ben and AJ, you are just in record-protection mode, which Ben, in a lot of ways, is more important to you anyway.”
Leber: “Yes. It’s the only thing I have in this game.”
Meatsauce: “You have my friendship.”
Hawk: “Nobody wants that.”
Meatsauce: “Your sister does.”
Cory: “Sauce, how do you feel? You won, Sauce, but you had [the single-game points record] in your grasp.”
Meatsauce: “All I care is that I win.”
Cory: “This is weird though. This is like a subdued Sauce, because I feel like the record mattered more than the win to you.”
Hawk: “I think it did.”
AJ: “Yeah, he almost walked out after the win.”
Meatsauce: “No, I just wanted to win. I don’t care about the record. Records are for Ben because Ben’s a nice guy. And the other thing I care about is that I ruined Hawkey’s weekend because I won.”
Hawk: “That’s alright, dude. Go eat something.”
Cory: “At the art show!”
Meatsauce: “That’s mean, Hawkey.”
Hawk: “I’m the mean one?!”
Meatsauce: “I didn’t say anything! You’re the one who always says your weekend is ruined if you don’t win the game!”
Hawk: “You said you were glad you ruined my weekend!”
Meatsauce: “Well . . .”
AJ: “You’re a jerk, Paul.”
Meatsauce: “Yeah, who cares. You guys are terrible at that game.”
Hawk: “That’s okay. You can’t fit in my pants.”
