QUIZ RECAP

Wed Aug 31 2016

Dios Mio what a night. Had some major traffic issues on the way in, so lost some of my customary beer drinking/chat time. But never fear! The trivia must go on! Plus I was day drinking all day, so things got a little crazy at the end. Triple or nothing... is that even legal?!?

Kicked off with some extra boos when I was presented with a "Make America Great Again" hat from Megan. Colin Kaepernick was not there, but I doubt he would have stood for this type of accessory. (Damn, my pun game is on point today.) This hat should really come with a disclaimer that it is being worn as a joke. (Or is it?) Thankfully Wednesday pilates will not be stretching (wink) into the future, so Year of the Rat will once again get all The Bachelor questions correct.

The Oompa Loompas had been in short (yep) supply the past few weeks, but made a winner's showing. Made it through the Southern/Antarctic controversy with a powerful triple double round 7 to stake their claim to victory. They'd come in second place the last two times, so it was due. Thankfully they found a table just in time for Troy to arrive, because Troy does not do standing trivia.

Jesse Can't Wait came in second place without Cody, who is apparently in Hawaii with his girlfriend who hates trivia more than anyone I've ever met. Amy finally wore a cleavage shirt. "You said that last time I wore a cleavage shirt," she informs me. At least I'm consistent. Believe it or not, Jesse requested a music round for next week. Apparently they are looking for a 4th teammate but can't find anyone that can stand them long enough to be at their table for 2 full hours.

Trump Lochte 2016 overcame a sluggish start to rob the other teams of 3rd place. (although, upon further review, it seems that no robbery took place) (side note: they also may have peed on the walls) 10 bucks! Don't spend it all in once place. (Disclaimer: you do actually have to spend it all in one place)

Tessa is here! This is always fun because she lets me know exactly which questions/rounds were not to her liking. Year of the Rat had a bare bones team tonight. Rachel delivered me a beer, but not before making sure I understood that she had not bought it. She also petitioned to be done before 10pm, which I was able to provide.

Quiz Bros was finally let out of the house again now that the baby has popped out. After a failed reality show question early in the evening, they stormed back and would have medalled had the controversial Southern vs Antarctic ocean not come in to play. I think it's safe to say that it was all +1/2 Melanie's fault. They did win the chili cheese fries though, so wasn't a total bust.

Speaking of bust, Wallets of El Segundo in the house! Well just two of them (am I talking about the team or the bust?) Chris only scored a 3/10 on grumpiness scale, but I'm sure he'll make up the points next week. Also, Tiffany, please keep drunkenly writing suggestions to the King Trivia team.

Sarah from Cohort apologized in advance for their poor performance tonight. School has started up again and apparently literature Masters/PHDs use up a lot of brain power. PS: I also tried to run Tyson over with my car.

E=MC Hammer thought that by not showing up they would not be included in this week's recap, but they were incorrect.

I think that's all for this week kids!

See you all next time!
