“Are You a True Trekker? The Shocking Revelation That Divided Our Trivia Team!”
Picture this: a bar filled with the kind of folks who can recite entire episodes of Star Trek from memory, and somewhere amongst them is Rich—our not-so-secret weapon who, despite assurances of being “into all that,” ends up tanking our chances at trivia glory. It’s the kind of blunder that sends chills down your spine and makes you question your life choices, isn’t it? How did we go from conquest to catastrophe faster than the Enterprise can warp out of a sticky situation? Revealing the both hilarious and mortifying fallout of what should have been a triumphant starship showdown, this piece dives into a deep-seated betrayal of trust, the agony of mixed knowledge levels, and one team’s desperate grasp at redemption amidst the wreckage of a trivia night gone disastrously awry. Buckle up, because it’s a wild like-a-kobayashi-maru ride to the heart of fandom and friendship! <a href="https://theonion.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/OELarryGroznicIHAGR-R.png”>LEARN MORE
Well, I hope you’re proud of yourself, Rich. Our team trusted you with the privilege of proving yourself on Trivia Hell Night. But after last night’s demeaning spectacle, I doubt we can ever go back to Sharlene’s Bar without recalling the deep humiliation you brought upon us all. After tanking a Star Trek round with a full four questions whiffed, I feel more shame than Spock in “The Naked Time.”
I want to speak plainly and clearly—not rage like a wild mugato—and I cannot say my piece any more plainly than this, Rich: When we extended our invitation, not a week ago, for you to fill the empty slot on the Knowblemen while Andrew was out of town for Comic Con, it was because we trusted your fervent assurances that you were well-versed in Star Trek lore, inside and out, with a special emphasis on 21st-century Trek.
