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!!!!!!

Next Themed Event: IT's ALWAYS SUNNY...

The VIBE:

Two words: SO LOUD.

 

The GAME:

Rounds 1& 2 started off strong with many teams doubling-up early. But it was.....

It was Rounds 3 & 4 that separated the men from the boys. Hang on. That's probably not PC anymore. Ummm....separated the teams who were ready to play trivia from the teams who were READY to play trivia. There. Happy?

After four rounds and watching their scores dive (into their beers perhaps?) we lost five teams...

But the 5 teams that stuck it out - made it quite interesting!

Round 5/Find the Connection was solid for all teams - with nobody scoring less than 8 points - and we learned that roman numerals are rather pointless. We're talking to you, William Shakespeare VII.

After Round 6/Matching and some "Presidential Trump opinions", we moved into the final round...which was still anyone's game!

The final round was rather difficult because it was 3 questions each with 3 answers (3x3) that ranged from Chevy Chase to Cape Town with a dash of a 3 Musketeers candy bar. Oh. Wait. I'm getting reports it was just the people. No actually candy this time. Hmmm. Well, yum either way.

 

The RESULTS:

It was neck and neck until Quizzed My Pants pulled out 13 combined points with their last 2 rounds and securely locked down - 3rd place ($25)

The Tea Lizards played a great game - rocking out 50 points, 2nd place, and $50!

But the $100 Champions of the Night (56 points) caught a hot run after Round 4 and just kept winning while singing to their birthday girl. Way to go....

Quizzed My Pants!!!!!
