Commentary: There is an element of self-parody in History Quiz Night, though one is never sure if it is intentional or earnestly unintentional. Every year the same faces show up in the same places, & in some cases are asked the same questions as in years gone by. I love it so!

In years past, our team, the Misty Beavers, has always picked an epithet to set each year apart from the others. My first year on the team was 2013, when we finished tied for third, one point between the two teams that tied for first. So, the following year, '14, we were Misty Beavers Redemption, & we did redeem ourselves, carrying the day; & so it went: '15, Misty Beavers Repeat; '16, Misty Beavers Dynasty; '17, Misty Beavers Empire. Heading into 2018, I asked what this year's epithet would be. I suggested three possibilities, wishing to start the discussion: Misty Beavers Juggernaut, Misty Beavers Steamroller, & Misty Beavers Unrivaled. Red Patton posted a few video clips, YouTube snippets of the old X-Men cartoon with "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" dubbed over Juggernaut's (Cain Marko) dialogue, but we never actually made a decision. So, we went into History Quiz Night '18 without a yearly epithet, without a battle cry. Did this augur ill for our chances of a fifth consecutive triumph? Time would tell.
