QUIZ RECAP

The VIBE:

The manager told me that they've been slow lately...probably due to the warm summer nights we've been having. But there was still a baker who ate one of his dozen. Also, it was a pretty self-contained crowd. I only spotted one drunk. And yes, he was playing his own out-loud audio version...

The GAME:

Round 1 - The first round went off pretty well - no big surprises.

Round 2/Pictures - A fairly strong round as well...although I still have no clue who Karen O is....and many teams agreed with me. Nice job to girls of Fuck It - the only team to double-up!

Round 3 - This was something completely different. (Did we hire someone new on the Quiz staff? Cuz this was great!) In this round, each team had to guess the homonym. And yes, although it was neat-o and fun, it was also apparently super easy. Only 3 teams didn't get a perfect double-up.

Round 4 - King Arthur led an interesting life. You.should have been there

The Drinking Round - Again, keepin' the variety...I tried something new....The Rule of Seven. I had one player from each team come up and we did a snake line of topics: Continents, Dwarves, Deadly Sins....and then the stumper of the night - Sacraments. It was a good round! I mean, the words FREE BEER always win.

Round 5/Connection - Big points came out of this round...that led to 6 teams all within 10 points of each other!

Round 6/Matching - Do you know which Leo DiCaprio movie had him play a character named Jim Carroll? How about Hugh Glass? Calvin Candie? I know, I know....he will always be Jack to all of us.

Round 7 - In the last round, teams had to list off the countries that exported the most coffee. MAJOR PROPS to the Slob Knobers who pulled off a perfect 20 points!!! But they weren't chasing the gold....these three teams were...and it was oh so close!

The RESULTS:

In 3rd place, coming off a 2nd place win last week....the always competitive...Mike Pence None the Richer (67 points)

2nd place....a team who had perfect double-ups in Round 5 & 6...by one crazy point....Beertlejuice x 3 (68 points)

But the winners of the night ....with 3 double-ups....and the $75 gift card.....goes to MAN FORCED TO EAT OWN BEARD!!!

QUIZ RECAP

The VIBE:

It was a good crowd. I didn't spot too many obnoxious drunks...at first. I also apologized on behalf of the US Men's Soccer team for last week's late start. Alright, let's get at this....

The GAME:

Round 1 - Nothing too crazy in the first round. Half of the teams doubled-up for a quick 12!

Round 2/Pictures - If you have been glued to MSNBC, then you would have aced the Democrats. But since IDGAF, I would have failed.

Round 3 & 4 - In the third round, we learned that Hydrox is a cookie. I guess. And in the fourth round, we learned that Karen Gillan is way more popular than I had thought she was.

After four rounds, Intravenous De Milo AND Tea Lizards had perfect scores! So I figured we ALL needed to celebrate with....

The Drinking Round - I tried a new game - CELEBRITY NET WORTH! One member from each team came up and guessed the net worth of the celebrity...and I eliminated the worst answers as we went down the line. Did you know that Dr. Phil is worth $400 freakin million dollars? I'll repeat that. Actually, I won't. But it's still true.

Round 5/Connection - Finally things started to shake up. Teams started to separate from the pack as the "airline" clues seemed to stump quite a few....

Round 6 & 7 - Pretty solid rounds. Most teams did very well with their box of crayons knowledge and mostly terrible 90's pop music culture references. Ok. That was a dig at the Spice Girls. But I can't help if *Nsync was SO MUCH BETTER.

The RESULTS:

In 3rd place, nudging out a crowd favorite, with 68 points was Corner Crew...

The 2nd placers was Mike Pence None the Richer who rocked out 3 near perfect Rounds 5, 6, 7...with 82 points

But nobody could stop the incredible brain pool of the Tea Lizards who only missed 1 question in Round 5 and decided against a double-up in Round 6....for an impressive 87 points and the GRAND PRIZE CHAMPS of the night!!!!!!
