USC Quiz Bowl

Frequently Asked Questions

What happened to the story that was passed around at ICT?

Our team had come up with the idea to start a story and have members from every team we played (Div II) to add one sentence. Well, it seemed like a good idea until we realized that there was very little time between rounds, and no time for the story. :( Plus, interest in the story steady declined as time went by, so the poor story died. Awwww...

Here is everything that was written before the tragic demise of the story:

Sanjay (USC) In the beginning, there were chickens.
Sofia (USC) Actually, there were eggs.
John (USC) But anyways, they were there.
Andrew (USC) Tall and mighty these eggs stood - as large as a house; these were no ordinary eggs...
Duck (USC) These eggs, being very nervous about the whole chicken and egg issue, I mean totally freaked out about the thing, to the point where the yolks were seeping into the albumin and the embryo had a psychotherapist - these eggs, being on edge, were eggs with a plan.
Ben (USC) However, after forming such a long sentence about their plan, the eggs forgot their brillant scheme.
Tim (USC) And then, unexpectedly, one egg began to hatch, instantly fertilizing jealousy among the remaining ballet of unhatched chicks, and prompting one egg to walk on eggshells.
Scott (USC) The newly hatched chick, still damp, looked around at his unhatched siblings - and an evil plot began to form.
Rob (Brandeis) The chick sharpened its beak with a stone, took careful aim, and pecked his brothers and sisters to death, and began, quite leisurely, to eat their brains, hoping to gain enough strength to take out his own mother.
Mehrun (Brandeis) Still, he felt an unexpected sting of loneliness upon devouring his unborn brethren, and in his morose state, hopped a train to Vegas with one mission - truly find himself.
Dan (Brandeis) After meeting a beleaguered transvestite named Wanda, "Huey Lewis" decided to pull an Eddie Murphy.
Chris (Swat) However, he forgot who he was pulling, and got Macaulay Culkin instead.
Kai (Brandeis) After a night of passion and self- and other- exploration, Huey decided that he had been put on ????? to change the world: he would build gigantic towers out of a panoply of normal items - concrete, glass, plates, seashells - for posterity (and to redeem himself for his alcoholic past).
Matt (Chicago) In this egg one might have found, if one looked, all manner of dancers and dancing things; he supposed; the ???????? out of which into the cruelest world he ought to have adopted as his sincere application of ?????? up.
Vincent (UCLA) Huey found himself in the old West, a six-shooter strapped to his side. Toast didn't matter now, only the split second with which to draw his gun.
Shannon (NU) When he reached for his gun, he realized that it was covered with jam. Unbeknowst to him, he was eating toast the whole time.


Well, there you have it folks! Hope you enjoyed our little story. I give it an R rating due to sexual references and violent content. If this were shown on TV, it would have received a TV-MA rating for S, V and C (cheese). If this were to be made into a movie... well, it wouldn't be made into a movie.
