Everyone - other LUGs, other technical groups, etc... - are invited to
send a team to this years 2005 Geek Jeopardy event. Just let me know
your coming - programdirector at kalamazoolinux.org Come celebrate the true
joy of being geek - knowing all that minutia, arcana, and esoteric
information that is so handy when drafting new pick-up lines! This years
categories are sure to result in a cornucopia of sardonic quips,
mythopoetical exclamations, and maybe even a few broken spectacles. What
more thrilling scene is there than the victor's squeels of pure
geeker-joy while the defeated shout curses at them in a combination of
Klingon and Sindarin? ? Ok, did we mention FREE PIZZA and PRIZES?
Players: Up to four team members per round, six players per team, you
can switch out as many players as you want between rounds. Each team is
permitted two substitutions per round at any point. An accidental third
