QUIZ RECAP

A fine night out at Slater's 50/50 this Tuesday! We had a good mixture of teams, both returning and new which provided a good, fun game for all. However, we all learned some great things tonight in several true The More You Know moments (cue shooting star with WordArt graphic), such as:

• The Baby Cheeses learned real quick to differentiate their Beatles as Paul McCartney's shoelessness ruined their attempt at a Double or Nothing in Round 1. However, they made up for it in the end by immediately knowing all of the nations that make up the UN Security Council. Pay attention in Social Studies, kids. You never know when it will pay off.
• I learned from Area 51 that Dog the Bounty Hunter used to have a pig that they tried to train as a dog. It wasn't the answer for the pig pic in Round 2, but I enjoyed learning about it anyway.
• The Whiskey Boys learned to trust their gut on the Round 5 theme as they took a chance and got the flower/plant theme right on the money!
• We all had a collective A-HA! moment in learning what a corolla was (the non-Toyota or -Adam kind, at least): the collective petals on a flower make up a "corolla". (again, cue WordArt shooting star with feel good music)
• And finally, British slang threw us all for a loop. The only thing annoying about the word "chuffed" is that it describes someone's happiness and apparently "bagsy" is the same as "dibs!"...I dunno, it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

But after all was said and done and I decided to not be a dick and make the spelling of Terminator: Genisys count, our newbies, That's What She Said, took home first prize! Rounding out our Top 3 gift card-getters for the night were Area 51 (despite constant complaints that Tuesday just isn't their night) and Mike Tyson's Speech School (who, I swear are getting most of their answers from their teammates' newborn).

Great job, all, and thanks for a great night! See you all next week!
