Sam Brochin Presents™ Packet 2 (full name wouldn't fit here)

Post by Charm Bison »

I am proud to announce that the sequel to my critically acclaimed* packet, the First Annual Sam Brochin Presents™ Packet Patent Pending, is finally here! The Second-ish Annual-ish Sam Brochin Presents™ Packet Reloaded or (The Unexpected Virtue of Laziness) will be finished on December 20th, and I will be holding readings on Google Hangouts or Skype (whichever works better) soon after. And yes, this will be online for free in a few days. Yes, it's basically the same as the last packet (as seen here: http://trash.quizbowlpackets.com/1843/). Yes, it's still fun. Yes, I will be taking questions. Who's ready?

Is there any word on when this is going to go down. Read the first packet and it was excellent. I sure do not want to miss the second playen en vivo.

I'm thinking Thursday at this point. It might get moved a bit, but that's where it's at for now. Around 9 PM EST.

Is this being posted in both the forums and the Northeast FB group? I only ask cause if its google hangouts I imagine there will be a quick scrum to see who the first 10 people in the chat can be (and I'm gonna try and be one so I gotta get that insider knowledge yk)

I think those are going to be two separate ones, despite the similar times. That Northeast FB group will have the first one.

I remember reading part of this packet a while ago and I thought it was quite funny. I'd be down to play though I probably wouldn't get a ton right.

The whole fun of PPP is getting them wrong, and then laughing at the hilarity of all the things people can write QB questions.

Sorry guys, this will have to be delayed due to exhaustion, the ending of Love Actually, the Philadelphia Eagles, and other assorted circumstances. I'll try to do a reading for you as soon as possible, but for now just stay tuned,

Do you think this will end up being tonight or another day?

You could, theoretically, just read it at Festivus tomorrow.

We played this in Waterloo practice on Tuesday and I have to say, the pack was what we thought it was (like the Bears) - a hoot. Loved the [REDACTED] clue!

Glad to hear it! I loved [REDACTED], by the way.

I'd also like to announce, to anyone still reading this forum, that the epic* conclusion** to the Sam Brochin Presents™ Packet trilogy is in development, and will arrive in time for nationals. It will be everything you expect it to be.
