QUIZ RECAP

Wed Aug 21 2019

We welcomed our lovely regular teams tonight holding down the fort at GOAL -- with Toby Rollers coming out on top and Spicey Meat-a-Ball following with a close second, and our super cool house team led by Team Captain, the wonderful Sunkrish (who loves shout-outs -- I see you!) of "John Jordan Loves Easy Access" turned "I Love Trivia, but why does John Jordan Make Me Play with My Pants Off?" turned "John Jordan is whispering racist sweet nothings in my ear" turned "I Can't Say This in front of John Jordan, but I Need an Adult's Help" turned "Party at John Jordan's House."

Keep those names comin', Sunkrish -- we always love a game within a game.

Well naming Energy Drinks during the Picture Round was almost easy -- until many got stumped by #3. Which was not Cobra, Slither, or Viper but VENOM. Yes there is apparently a drink called Venom and I personally would not want to drink that. No offense to the title. And #6 was not the v. creative "Knight Fuel" but "Reign."

Another tough round for all was The Comeback round.

Ironically.

See, what happened was -- the teams who did NOT double down got all the answers correct. While the three teams who DID double down were all stymied, perplexed, and perfectly boggled by the same question. No, the company that was bought by Disney for a whopping $4.24 billion was neither Pixar nor LucasFilm but the one and only Marvel!

Let's do a Marvel Cinematic Universe drinking round soon, shall we?

Speaking of the Drinking Round, we had an amazing time naming films starring The Rock -- with a special appearance by The Rock himself. JK it was really just a member of 5Loko who could easily pass for a Rock doppelganger.

Toby Rollers was last one standing there too.

Congrats again to the wedding that happened this week! Spoiler alert, I did not get married, guys.

The Rock did.

And Sunkrish also went to a wedding this weekend, where he gave a Best Man speech 🙂

Wedding season ain't over yet, folks despite how Labor Day is just around the corner!

The Nifty 50s taught us all history lessons -- or reaffirmed the knowledge many teams already seamlessly had -- and then the final round revealed how little OneD knowledge our teams had.

Props to "I Lost My Virginity At..." who was the ONLY team to name all OneD members correctly.

Now I kinda have a mind to play only OneD songs next time for y'all -- and how cool was that when "Don't You Forget About Me" played three questions after the question about that song?

The universe at work, people.

Well, the universe according to trivia.

And thanks guys for all the love over the Sundance Labs Second Round that your quizmaster made it into with her feature script that had a deadline she was hammering out right before trivia! Since most of my usual weekly fun updates are that I showered and slept, I'm happy to have finally had a cool neat fun update to report for this week 🙂

If I can't find a sub for next week, you bet I look forward to seeing your faces next week! And if I do find my sub, I will still look forward to seeing your beautiful faces the week after.

HAPPY SIX-WEEK ANNIVERSARY, GOAL!!!!!!!!

Also big, big thank you to neighbors Bedhead Pajamas for sponsoring our second prize this week -- a lovely $25 gift card. And since we all got caught up talking, our third place team was not depicted so here's your Quizmaster modeling some of the glasses that comes with the swag bucket for third place prize next time!
