The 10th of July, 2009. A black letter day in the annals of homosexual penguin history.  For it was on that day that the world’s very first openly gay penguin couple, Harry and Pepper,  was tragically split asunder by the blandishments of that Whory Whore of Hoary Climes, LINDA.  (http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/50421527.html).

The thought of a freshly jilted Pepper, all alone in his pen, bloodied by the slings and arrows of outrageous Whoredom, was too much for my roommate Jay and I to bear.  No longer able to function in such a world, we shaved our heads and turned to binge eating in a desperate attempt to stamp out the mental image of Linda’s scandalously salacious ways.

Meanwhile, I went out on the town and, using my brilliant legal mind and immense powers of seduction, convinced two of the cutest lawyers in Portland , Amy and Thalia, to partner up with us for the making of sweet, sweet trivia.  And thus was created the infamous Team Linda is A Whore.

N.B. – For all you foolhardy upstarts who laughed and hung up when Team Funke Cold Medina called and pleaded with you not to take us on, we can be found any given Tuesday/Wednesday at Sewickly’s/Hutch.  But just remember:

“La Whore est un oiseau rebelle / Que nul ne peut apprivoiser“.

Oh and Linda if you’re reading this, I’m staring into my crystal ball and I’m seeing….
