It's pronounced "AERO"...

Watched last night's game at the bar since it was trivia night at Pizza Regina.  Price obviously looked really good and that was a relief given how he's struggled.  And the offense is a train that's showing no signs of slowing down.  Friggin love it.

The story of last night was how badly my trivia team (The Hazy Flashbacks) got jobbed at trivia last night!  The guy hosting the trivia thought he was Shecky Greene and kept trying to make stupid jokes.  Totally interfered with his hosting duties. Guy didn't know the word "ubiquitous".  Thought you had to be literate to host trivia.  Anyway, he pronounced the word "aero" the way one would normally pronounce "aero", and it fucked us up on the final question. (What company named 'The Aero (only he said ARROW!) incorporated in Chicago in 1917?  Thinking he said "arrow", we went with Wrigley, since they have arrows on their packs of gum.  No, he said "aero", but pronounced it like a dickhead.  It was Boeing.  We had the answer once he clarified but by then it was too late, we had handed out answer in.  We would've won.  That asshole cost us a $25 pizza gift card.  Ah well.  Thanks for letting me bitch for a while.  Time for a beer and to get ready for new co-ace (with Rick Porcello) Steven Wright.
