Listen!

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of an epic team, 
That started back in Nixon's days, 
In a Gladden House big scene…

    Peemo was a walking almanac, 
    His team was large and sure, 
    BOMO set off at 12 o'clock
    For an eight hour tour, 
    An eight hour tour.

No streams! No scans! No Google search!
And the phones were rotary!
But BOMO on that wintry night
Held on for victory
In December '73

    They won that night and two more times, 
    And contended every year…
    Three thousand points in a dozen tries
    And then they disappeared!

For twenty years they stayed away, 
'Til the new millennium
Through the wonders of the Internet
BOMO emerged again!

    Another decade passed in which
    Results were rather mixed
    Twenty contests came and went 
    But the best we did was sixth!

But finally a team emerged
That proved their BOMO worth
And won a noble victory
A twenty-twelve rebirth!

    So join us now as we set sail for our first contest in years
    With four Gardner's…
    And two boyfriends… both of them, named Brandon
    Six guys from Penn
    The Professor and Mary Ann!
    Here on Trivia Night!
