BENJAMIN QUIZRAELI (with assistance from DON'T WORRY BEYONCE)

To say I'm proud is an understatement.  To say that I deserve a nice little raise for fostering two top ten winners in the TOC is pretty fair (right, Josh? 🙂 )

Also, please note how huge and badass that trophy is.  $5000 bucks is one thing but bragging rights and a giant goddamn testament to your question answering skills?  Priceless.

What better way to celebrate a birthday than by giving presents to other people?  Well, that's just what happened tonight as I turned a year older and had to hand over money to a bunch of other people.  Can you believe that?  It's a good thing these people didn't need just one day out of the year to be commemorated - they've all been hitting their strides for the past few months.  But it must have really felt like a birthday party for Beyonce as they didn't need to Worry one bit while they breezed past the competition.  Devastating Double or Nothing rounds keep the others in check tonight - sorry, no balloons or pin the tail on the donkey for Benji Quiz tonight.  Full Loftus managed to squeak past Barney's Biatches for third only because those aforementioned Biatches forgot to turn in their pen - it's true, you really can't have your cake and eat it too.

Trivia took a nice departure from the Golden Globes tonight as our three top winners were all females.  Natalie Portman would have been proud.

King Trivia - more progressive than the Hollywood Foreign Press.

Unfortunately, no one won for fucking a fish tonight but they did win for being able to craft a perfect paper airplane.  While our winner was no Sully, they certainly managed to soar over our Three (mini) Billboards.

And the night could not be complete without a couple of overlong speeches but while none of our winners got to thank their agents, kudos to the homeless man who wandered in, tried to speak into the microphone (as I was speaking into it) and then proceeded to tell me he was Elton John moments before management made him do the Crocodile Walk back out the door.  Elton John, if that was you, please stop by next week to pick up your little gold statuette.  And maybe some deodorant and a toothbrush.
