Just to prove how much of a legend SCAR really is (not that everyone on here doesn't know that
)...
My teammate noticed SCAR on the boards last weekend. I may have mentioned once or twice to him that I've met SCAR before, but I doubt it was anything said teammate committed to memory.
Teammate: "SCAR is playing at a different location tonight. That's unusual for him. He normally plays at TGIF."
Me: "Their TGIF recently dropped buzztime."
Teammate: "Oh, really!?!!"
SCAR is definitely a legend
One of my favorite stories.
3 or 4 years ago I was on vacation in Panama City, and visited their brand new Buffalo Wild Wings on a rainy Saturday afternoon.
It was packed. I sat at the bar and signed on Scar and my second box Muadib.
My Dad is from 30 miles north of there, and I had on a T-shirt from his hometown of DeFuniak Springs.
I talked with a couple seated at a table behind me, and gave them a few answers. Muadib won the game, and I went outside to smoke. The lady followed me and lit up herself. She looked at my shirt and took me for a local and asked me if I ever played at the Boathouse in Valparaiso FL. I said no, but I had seen their name on the boards. She said she and her husband were part time Panama City and part time Houston residents/ trivia players.
Then she asked me if I was Muadib who had won the game (they couldn't see that I had two boxes up on the bar).
I said yes.
She said, did you see the other name on the board ? Do you think it could be The Scar ?
I said What ?
She said "A Scar was playing... do you think it could be him ?"
I just started to laugh.
She said , "You know, the one that plays at Fridays in Louisville KY"
After much laughter, I told her I was playing 2 boards.
