We kicked off King Trivia with two of the easiest rounds most of you claimed to have seen -- all part of my devious plan to reel you in and keep you committed, muahahaha! But really, you had nothing to lose by jumping in, did you?
Despite their horrible handwriting, Nine Inch Males came in third place, being pretty knowledgeable about their general trivia and reality competition catchphrases. They were also the glorious winners of the drinking round, where I announced free alcohol would go to "the first team... that writes... the number..." Took everyone a while to figure it out, but Nine Inch Males took a little while less to literally write "The Number."
It was Joe Schmo the Solo Ho's first time at Boondocks, but he's no King Trivia novice! He came in second place by one measly point, much to the shagrin of free-alcohol-winning Nine Inch Males.
The victory, once again, went to the Knobheads, who took their sweet time to give everyone else a little hope, but then pulled through with an award-winning Best Picture Oscar double down! Glory to you guys!

There's no better way to beat the rainy weather than to cuddle up with a cold one, a loved one, and a $10, $20, or $30 one!
Knights of the Square Table showed up to support me, much like they did through all five years of my college career, but hopefully not with more disappointment. They came right behind It's Britney Bitch, who threw a double-down Hail Mary and definitely were met with disappointment.
New players Stangry were crazy knowledgeable of their Jada Pinkett Smith and sports players, but barely fell short to the Hop On My Jetskis/Roman Polanski/Dad's Knee/Topical Sunscreen crew, who had perfect TV toys and "fortune"-ate rounds. Knobheads did exceptional, but weren't confident enough in a Texas double-down. They surrendered the first place winnings instead to Periodic Table Dancers, who knew next to nothing about Jada Pinkett Smith, but enough to double-down for 40 points between Rounds 5 and 6.
Thanks for coming out, everyone!

I've got a hunch that all my King Trivia players gave up drinking for their New Year's resolutions, which would explain why I didn't see any of you last week. But nearly all resolutions quickly die, so it was great having you all back chugging beers, being merry, and giving your brains some much-needed exercise!
Most of you were stumped by our Bull Banner and Eddie Murphy rounds (considering the types of movies he's been in, no one blames you; it's a testament to your impeccable taste in, ya know, GOOD movies!). But everyone excelled in general knowledge, food characters, Drew Barrymore, land borders, and our super clever Round Five connection!
Burt Macklin FBI missed placing by three measly points -- which is incredibly well for being up against a team of eight! Hop On My Jetski took home third place and a free round of Bud Light for being the last team standing to come up with one-word movie titles. Knobheads got some pre-Tournament of Champions practice in, losing to the new guy from Washington D.C., Government Shutdown = More Drinking Time, who doubled down successfully three times tonight, taking home the first place prize!
