Braggart Watch: Longtime readers may remember that last year, I led my team to victory in the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers first annual trivia bowl. I, as the non-lawyer ringer, teamed with my college chum Dena (an actual attorney-at-law) to rip through the much better-paid competition. (Well, better paid than me. I can’t speak for Dena.)

Well, this year, we tried again (with a new and valuable teammate, Henry). The odds were against us, as they are against all returning champions. Our opponents included: a team we humiliated last year that recruited a new member purely to counteract me, a team with a former Win Ben Stein’s Money contestant, and a high-powered team anchored by a retired judge.

But the results were the same. You are now reading the weblog of the two-time Dallas Association of Young Lawyers trivia bowl champion. The highlight from tonight’s playoffs: a rousing comeback in the semis, from down 210-90 at the halfway point to a 300-220 victory. (Not to mention a 440-130 shellacking of His Honor in the finals.) I now stand at 19-0 in trivia bowl competition, the longest winning streak by a Cajun in bowl history.

The concludes tonight’s edition of Braggart Watch.
