Before I talk about who won and what we learned, I need to make an unprecedented journey into the Wrong Answer of the Game right out of the gate. Why, you ask? Because the answer was *so forking funny* that I snorted Diet Coke through my nose reading it.
In answer to the question: What company owned Blizzard before Microsoft, This is the Best Team Name We Could Come Up With answered: DQ. Forkin' kudos for that. You have embraced the concept of "If you can't be right, be funny!"
In other news, we had a lot of big teams tonight, and a few other hangers-on helping out various players in odd ways. But in the end, TGIT blew past the competition in the last two rounds, beating out both regular teams Some Nuts No Sesame and Birthday Babes by a significant margin! Nice work team.
What else did we do, friends? Oh, we ran my own very first "crossword" round. You all did amazing on that and even those with wrong "regular" answers seemed to get it together to guess the SomePony at the end.
We discovered that George Washington did *not* collect wooden spoons; the term "Down Under" is probably not applied often to Canada or Finland; and that a 6 FOOT Koala would be terrifying.
Growing Pains (the answer)=Kirk Cameron is kinda unstable. Family Matters = Erkel. Family Ties = Marty McFly. Not all the same show, but they do run together a bit. Leave it to Beaver was pretty much right out but kudos for remembering Eddie Haskell.
Finally, thank every single team that had about half the name of our WNBA #1 draft pick, but saved themselves by telling me that she was "the bisexual one!" It's like you know me. 😉
Next week is the last game of April! Hopefully the weather will hold and I'll see you all then. Same bat time, same bat pub.
And keep. On. Quizzin.
