Then a friendly game of Trivial Pursuit ensued. Let it be known that Brian has never single-handedly defeated Jess at this game. Only when he manages to team up with his mother-in-law, or any of our Canadian friends, does he ever win at Trivial Pursuit.
Some of you might have learned the hard way that Jess likes to enforce her own special Trivial Pursuit rules, the most outrageous and severe of them being: "spill your boat, lose your boat." According to this rule, if you are too careless—or too intoxicated!—to move your wheel full of pie (or boat, as Jess calls it) around the board without spilling your pie pieces, then you simply don't deserve those pieces at all. Thus, if you "spill your boat," you must forfeit those pieces already earned and consider them "lost at sea."
Long story short, about an hour into the game, things weren't looking good for Jess. Brian was missing only one piece of pie, and Jess was trailing by three pieces! As she's been known to do, Jess snapped and couldn't stand the competition any longer. Like a pirate in the sea of Saturday-night fun, she seized and capsized Brian's boat!!! (To see the evil deed up close, click on the evidence below!)

Arrrrgh - an act of piracy, if ever there was one - deliberate capsizing of the boat is a high seas crime, punishable by hanging the scoundrel by the ankles from the yardarm during rough seas.
