A trivia night at Barney's Beanery Burbank as told through captions:

Pic 1: Pictured here is Melanie.  You may know her as the most vocal component of Exceedingly Average.  Or you may recognize her as my substitute this past summer.  Here she is, sitting on her phone, oblivious to the rules of the game.  But before you call her a cheater (save that for the guy whose jersey she's currently wearing...) I must stress that this picture was taken after the game had already ended.  Also, this picture was the third taken as Melanie was making obscene gestures in the first two that were clearly not appropriate for a fucking family friendly website.

Pic 2: This is Barney's current manager (REDACTED).  He told me that he hopes to (REDACTED) because his (REDACTED) once tried to (REDACTED) but instead has simply given his (REDACTED) to (REDACTED).  Also, he ask that you not follow the information on his shirt and follow him to Barney's as that would be considered "creepy" and "stalker-ish".

Pic 3: Pictured here are a bunch of losers who won the game tonight.  Only one of them is smiling and so I will list the Social Security numbers of the other members of the team here so that you may show them how much you resent them for not only winning but for also refusing to smile.  DONI - 5684392, JUSTIN - 57483229, ALLI - 4836289, STEVEN - 9392827.

11 teams tonight duked it out for that ever so sweet Barney's gift card. Our final round asked our teams about SNL alums who have grossed the most in the domestic box office. Every team who doubled unfortunately ended up with goose eggs in that last round. But what many people can take away from that was that Robert Downey Jr. was actually a cast member of SNL (albeit in a doomed season from 1985-86, which almost saw the show being cancelled).

Our drinking round involved a round robin of the original 151 Pokemon. I actually wanted to do this round when I first started hosting, however the hype over Pokemon GO was too strong that I decided to save it.

Lastly, last night hosting regularly at Barney's Burbank. I will be returning to my usual spot as player/nemesis. Your usual host, Chris, will be back from his long summer away. Ask him all about it 😀

Wednesday night = trivia night at Barney's Beanery!

The game was pretty close from the get go. Many successful double downs tonight, as well as many unsuccessful ones.  That being said, the "Zika Babies" in the end emerged victorious, but still hopefully without the Zika virus.

My personal favorite round was our Guess Who? round. Being a Hamilton fanatic, it semi-killed me that I couldn't have played that round. (For sure would have gotten 10 points ayyyyyyy 😀 )

We have 6 teams registered for league trivia here tonight. Good luck to them as they make their journey towards $10,000!
