    The boys, Jerry, Pete, Bill and Josh were fighting over a rate action figure with a "trivia off" at the local comic book shop, a small store with all types of nerd stuff and local nerds, all boys and men of course, as if they'd ever make anyone else or God forbid a girl feel welcome. Everyone and anyone is a poser to them.

    Pete: "Okay, guys, you know the rules. One question at a time, 30 seconds to answer, no hitting, no spitting, and no stupid crap like, 'what's Lucy Lawless's bra size?'"

    Josh: "But I knew that one!"

    Pete: "As do all sad boys, Josh. Bill, use stats and skinny challenged."

    Pete: "You ready? Let's do it. Okay, what's Wedge's last name in Star Wars?!"

    Josh scoffs, mockingly: "Get serious, Bill. What, was I cloned yesterday? You think I just landed on this planet?!"

    Bill: "No, because the impact would have killed us all! I'm just warming up, okay?! Now answer the damn question!!"

    Josh:"Antilles. Name the theme park in Westworld!"

    Bill:"Ha! Delos. Who came up with the silver surfer?!"

    Josh:"Duh, Jack Kirby, king of comics. Who are the lizard men on Land of the Lost?!"

    Bill:"Everyone knows that, you idiot! The Sleeve Stack!! Name three kinds of kryptonite!."

    Josh:"Green, red, and gold! What rock star played on the Star Wars Christmas album?!"

    Josh:"Jon Bon Jovi! Name two songs off it!"

    Josh:"R2-D2, We Wish You a Merry Christmas?! Listen, what do you get at working for Christmas when he already has a comb?! Pfft!!" Who was Olive Oil's brother?!"

    Bill:"Castor Oil! What Digimon digivolves into a Kakuman?!"

    Josh:"Gummamon! Which Transformer transforms into a VW Beetle?!"

    Bill:"Bumblebee!. What wiped out the Triffids?! The movie or the book?!"

    Josh:"The movie, Seawater! Who played Commander Elliot in The Green Slime?!"

    Bill:"Richard Jekyll! What was Galactica 80's time slot?!"

    Josh:"Overruled! Come on, Bill, I'll take it! ABC, Sunday, 7-8! Ha! Name the impossibles, jerky!"

    Bill:"Fluidman, Coilman, Multiman. Who are the Ents?!"

    Josh:"The Trees from Lord of the Rings. What year did Gerald McVoyboy win an Oscar?!"

    Bill:"1951! What's Clefa?!"

    Josh:"A Vulcan term of refusa! Who scored Jason in The Argonauts?!"

    Bill:"Bernard Herrmann! Who played Falls Face on Batman?!"

    Josh:"Malachi Throne!"

    A short boy, "Willoughby the wannabe", one of the many nerds watching the loud trivia off perks up

    Willoughby:"Hey, I got a good one. Who played the Joker?"

    There's a short moment of silence as everyone looks at the short blonde before the shop owner casually shoved him off his counter and shuts him up. The trivia off continues and turns into an even louder shouting fight and it's been hours, everyone is tense and they can barely take it anymore, until...

    Josh panting and exhausted just like Bill:"You look tired, William. Care to concede?"

    Bill:"Concede this, you...!!"

    Bill lunges at Josh, gripping his hair and fighting as everyone cheers on "ECW! ECW! ECW!"

    Pete desperates them:"Hey, hey, settle this like men! Bill, next question.

    Bill thinking of something, nervously but and determined: "Um... Uh...Who says beety, beety, beety?

    Josh without hesitation:"Jerry!!" He stops immediately, slapping his hand on his mouth but it's too late

    Josh:"I... I mean Twinkie!"

    Bill baffled at Josh's slipup, full of schadenfreude:"Too late!!Too late!! You lose! You lose!! HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA!!" Bill laughs, maniacally
