QUIZ RECAP
What a night at Collision Brewing this week!! We shattered our previous turnout record, and just about maxed out our room with 12 teams and 72 players; the staff at Collision were heroes, scrambling to bring in folding tables and re-arranging the layout on the fly to accommodate the crowd. In addition, #momjeans (12 strong this week) were challenged by their counterparts #dadbods (11 husbands), creating a competitive undercurrent that shaped the night.
Both those teams converted succesful double-or-nothing tries in Round 1, along with Trebek's Rejects and Mutha Smucker; both 4-Way Stop and Tequila Is Not A Patronus went for the double and only got 5 right, and neither team could recover from that zero to get back into the running. #momjeans did it again in Round 2 to jump 8 points in front of the dads (who scored 8 out of 8; Fleetwood Mac Sex Pants also doubled in Round 2 to move into 2nd place, 7 points back). At this point #momjeans sent a round of, er, Blowjobs (an amaretto/Kahlua based shot) to the #dadbods table; the dads had to leave the shot glasses on the table and drink them with no hands, which they all promptly did without hesitation. Thusly fortified, #dadbods were the only team to correctly answer all 6 questions in the Sibling Rivalry round (#3); #momjeans, Trebek's Rejects, Mutha Smucker and first-timers Squid Inferno all scored 5, while newly rechristened Fantasia 2000's failed double bid (and the resulting zero) dropped them out of the running . In the Guess Who round, #momjeans, #dadbods and Sex Pants were the three teams to correctly answer for 8 points; the moms' margin remained at 7 over the dads and 8 over FM Sex Pants. Tired Tipsy Teachers answered correctly for 6, while 4-Way Stop and Limoncello had to take the -1 for guessing Lizzie Borden. As turnabout, #dadbods at this point sent a round of, um, Screaming Orgasms (a similar shot which also contains vodka) to their spouses; the ladies duly threw them back and let out exaggerated moans of pleasure, at which point the Quizmaster (for once) had the right response at the right moment: "I'll have what they're having!" Meanwhile, back at the game...
In the Find The Connection round, the dads were again high scorers with 8 out of 10 to creep 1 point closer to the lead as the moms and FM Sex Pants each scored 7 while Cammie Hates The Cello had their high mark of the night with 5. Fantasia 2000 were high scorers in the Handout Round, getting them all right for 10 points; #momjeans, #dadbods and Trebek's Rejects each tallied 9 while Linomcello scored 8 out of 10. So after 6 rounds it looked to be a 2-team race between the teams of spouses, with the moms 6 points in front; Fleetwood Mac Sex Pants were 3rd but only 2 points separated them from Trebek's Rejects. As it happened, Sex Pants were high scorers in the final round, their 8 points secured them 3rd place on the night. # dadbods scored 7 of 9 but it was not enough as #momjeans' 6 was enough to secure the win (Trebek's Rejects, Fantasia 2000, Tired Tipsy Teachers and Mutha Smucker also tallied 6 in Round 7).
It was a memorable night, and I send my sincere thanks to all who turned out to play tonight but ESPECIALLY to everyone at Collision Brewing for going above and beyond to accommodate such a large crowd. Let me also send a shout out to #dadbods, who sent me a Blo...I mean, a shot late in the evening as well. Since King Trivia bills itself as "the classiest game in town", I did not do the "no hands" thing, but it was delicious and MOST appreciated! The turnout has been tremendous in recent weeks, let's keep it going. Thanks everyone!!
