Lonzo's Balls was the team to beat last night, and the scores were close at the top of the leaderboard, with Trivia Newton John just one point behind at the finish, and Make "Make Batman Keaton Again" Great Again just a few points back in third.

But the real heartbreak, competitively speaking, came in the #4 spot, where Make Me Egg and #toursluv finished in a tie just ONE POINT away from gift card glory!

Barney's is surely the place to be on Wednesday nights. If you haven't experienced the madness for yourself, ya gotta come out and see us. If you can trivia there, you can trivia anywhere!

See ya next week.

Oh! How the (almost) mighty have fallen! After an incredible three straight second-place finishes, the great team of Make Batman Keaton Again dropped to the #10 spot! Adam West and Burt Ward must be SO upset! They even finished behind Dr. Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine! Domo arigato, Dr. Robotnick.

It's always heartening when a team recognizes the value of wisdom and maturity ~ the knowledge and bearing under the pressure of competition ~ that only a father can bring to the table. Father Knows Best is just such a team, who recruited dad to help them with their 3rd place finish behind those upstart showoffs Quiz on My Face and Lonzo's Balls.

Your humble quizmaster was amused and delighted that Butterpockets sat at the table nearest the Official Quizmaster Control Center (the tiny table nearest the kitchen) to kibbutz and offer commentary about my performance all night. You didn't win the game, kids, but you won my heart!! Thanks for the laughs.

See y'all next week.

Those superheroes Make Batman Keaton Again revealed their superpowers last night with an extraordinary performance of mental agility/versatility. Put another way, they knew their stuff, and won the night.

Quiz in My Pants was hot on Batman/Keaton's heels, and put 'em to the test until the very end. Good job, QIMP! Now go launder those trousers!

Men Are Like Avocadoes finished third, and with a name like that, you just gotta ask, why? WHY are men like avocadoes? Do we all go bad after a few days? Are we all dips? Are we ugly and green on the outside but full of creamy goodness deep down?

Some questions just don't seem to have an easy answer, so this will remain a mystery - at least until next week. See ya then!
