I think I mentioned before that I'm part of a team that's entering the World Series of Pop Culture. Why am I doing this? Well, the whole thing is groupie-driven, I'd say. I had a short-lived campus tv show in college and I got absolutely no groupies. It was not due to a lack of effort, either; I was putting out the vibe pretty good, let me tell you. I just don't think the show reached enough people. Vh1 reaches at least 3 times as many people as Trinity's campus channel so I should get three times as many groupies. And as we all know, three times zero is... damn it.
Our audition is this Friday. We have a great team name; we have a killer team shirt; we have fighting spirit; we have, most importantly, burlap sacks heavily laden with dubloons for the judges. The only thing that we may not be totally set on is the actual pop culture knowledge. We will fix that the only way I know how: through shoddy, last minute preparation.
Tonight, teammate Dean Zyvarb and I are getting together, and we're going to whip each other into shape. I don't know how that works. I suspect that we'll mine Wikipedia, quiz each other, and then try out our Tom Selleck impersonations. Optimistically, the end result will be a second-to-last finish instead of a last place finish. And yes, groupies out the wazoo.
