It was another lovely Wednesday night at Goal, as we were celebrating the end of birthday week for the wonderful Ally!
We had some fabulous new faces show up -- as well as some of our tried-and-true returning teams.
A three-way tie emerged early on as Nobody Respects John Jordan, I Lost My Virginity..., and Dry Butts shrewdly doubled down, confident over their knowledge of '90s toys -- a mixture of adorable and creepy and perfectly nostalgic items.
Honorable mention for Round Two went to Serenity by Jan, who dreamed up the names Squeezy for the Koosh and Roller Sharks for Street Sharks. Hey -- when you're in a bind, just call it as you see it, right?
Four teams impressively all got The Leaning Tower of Pisa at the ten-point mark (fastest Guess What? Round ever!!).
A few have been to Italy before to see The Leaning Tower in person -- and speaking of traveling, we all decided after the question about the right-most-facing President on Mount Rushmore (Lincoln) that we should all take a road trip to see Mount Rushmore in person.
That's right -- it's on everyone's lists of places to go but few have actually traversed to the landmark.
Find the Connection set some teams back -- as Apple Records tripped up a lot who thought Strawberries would fit in.
I Lost My Virginity At... had a very successful double down for Round #6 -- they know their hip hop artists and corresponding hometowns!
Entering into Round Seven, Nobody Respects John Jordan and I Lost My Virginity At... were going head to head, both tied at 64 points.
Then, I Lost My Virginity At... won by a nose with their knowledge of one more Natalie Portman movie than Nobody Respects John Jordan who came in second! At third, we had all the swag for the savvy Serenity by Jan.
Oh! And we had an amazingly, raucously, wildly fun Drinking Round where I Lost My Virginity... also emerged triumphant as each team rep tried to name the teams in the MLB and their rep was the last one standing. Yup -- ya girl loves the MLB and also be sure to come back to Goal to watch more baseball games as baseball season heats up past the dog days of summer.
Great job to all and to all a good night!
And...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLY!
