Happy September from the Canterbury Ale House! Tonight's trivial pursuits welcomed in some old faves:
with new flaves:
For a total of 10 teams, and a collective of 40+ players!!
Round 1, team Staying Positive Testing Negative established themselves as fierce competitors by successfully going Double or Nothing. In fact, they maintained an aggressive 10-point lead over the opposing nine teams through Rounds 1-6, appearing to undoubtedly be crowned the night's champions...
HOWEVER; in the night's final round, 5 teams went Double or Nothing. Of the five brave teams, only two had successfully doubled their points (newcomers: Newman’s Own and Reese Withoutherspoon).
And making a real M. Night Shyamalan of the night, sleeper agent, Reese Withoutherspoon stole first place!!! But wait, THERE'S MORE.... After tallying up the points, we entered an instant death tie-breaker between Newman’s Own and Staying Positive Testing Negative, to determine who would take home the silver....
Correctly answering the tie-breaker question, "What band debuted in 1976 with the single 'Blitzkrieg Bop'?" with "the Ramones", it was newcomers Newman's Own!!!!!
As always, shout out to Canterbury Ale House for hosting, and to their amazing staff: Danny, David, Joey, Laticia, and Scott. And if ya missed us this time, be sure to catch us next week. Until then, Wes signing off. Xo
Ps. Honorable mention to team Slippery Pig for hilarious and awesome team name. 😹
