Flann O'Brien's
Mike Gildea

Do you and your friends win at Tuesday trivia night often?
Kind of often. I guess that's why we keep coming.

What's your trivia team name?
We change it every week.

What's been your favorite team name?
Well ... let me think of an appropriate one ...

It's an alt-weekly, dude.
Oh. Well, we've been the Fucking Fucks a lot.

I don't know if that makes sense. Can a fuck itself fuck?
Yeah. "Fuck" can be a noun. So it can fuck and be fucked.

Hmmm. What's the best karaoke performance you've seen here?
There's this one girl who always goes to karaoke. She's always fall-over drunk, and she just steals the microphone off the stage, pushes everyone else away, and stays up there for 30 minutes at a time.

Does she sing well?
No, it's terrible. But it's pretty funny.

Who was Flann O'Brien?
No idea.

Me neither. Would you like to make up a story about who you think he might've been?
He was probably an Irish dude. Some famous Irish dude who really liked drinkin' and made everyone drink.

What was he famous for?
Drinkin'.
