Tonight was full of Softballs for our trivia teams, which means THE SCORES WERE A-FLYIN'!!
Poop Poop Poopie handily won the drinking round with their unique brand of naming humor giving them that statistical edge, and early in the night there were a LOT of ties for the top three spots!
There was also a round that yours truly would have doubled down on (because I'm a huge video game nerd). And though there was a ruckus over a portal gun and legos, most teams were able to live up to my high expectations of them and choose the correct weapon!
But in the end it was Missouri that was everyone's downfall as the Peeps pulled ahead, with Suspended Load and the Dishwashers close behind!
Congrats to the top three teams, and I hope y'all had a good night!

It was a pretty straightforward night of Trivia...
WHICH MEANS IT WAS INTENSE AS ALL HECK!!!!
Da Bears came out with a commanding lead right out of the gate! They held on to this lead until Tired & Stupid won the drinking round
Everything changed after the drinking round
One incorrect football team was the downfall of the bears, and the Pasadena Peeps were there to intercept their fumble and run into the goal for a home-run!!
...sports...
THEN, as if things weren't shook enough, after the 7th round there was a TIE for 2nd place! Turd Ferguson ended up taking it by about 100-ish miles (still not in the mood to do math) leaving Quiztopher Walken to claim third!
Congrats to the top three teams! And thank you again to my lovely girlfriend Tori for being my emotional support!

It was a NAIL BITER this evening of trivia
I saw the most double downs (both successful and not-so-successful) of my trivia career! And first place was either a three-way or a four-way tie for most of the night. With second staying a tie until the very end!
But in the end, the Peeps came out on top, with our resident teachers, the "PhilosoRaptors" coming in just behind them, and the dynamic duo of "We Always Come From Behind" staying true to their name, climbing up to third slowly through the night
Also, congrats to my local purple monkey dishwashers for flipping the drinking round onto its double tails!
Thank you all for another exciting night off trivia, and sorry again for keeping you out so late again!
