I promised easy questions, so I hope I was successfully able to follow through with that promise. Knobheads thought so, as they doubled down on their general knowledge, and had perfect scores on their TV twists and mega rich country music stars. The Gruesome 3some thought so, as they doubled down on their superstitions and perfected their Latin connections. Traveler's Diarrhea might have thought so -- though they definitely would have been a smidge happier with their winnings if they showed up one measly round earlier.
Dr. Dick Phitzwell (giggity!) didn't think so, even with help from fellow bar patrons and employees. But he won a free drink on the Quizmaster's tab for dominating an epic Rock, Paper, Scissors competition. Sunny Plumbers, Bastards! were in good spirits until High School Musical killed their vibe (didn't blame them). They left early, but still had loads of fun, and did pretty excellent, all things considering.

It was a great night to play if you knew your African movie posters and parks around the world, but not so much if you didn't know your "fins" and jumped the gun on your Mrs. Incredible clues.
It was a great night for King Trivia virgins Rose Gold My World, who won Bud Light on the house by chugging a glass of water the fastest, but not so much if you were Traveler's Diarrhea, who only had one brain to rack.
It was a great night for Team Lit, who got to take home the first place prize, and a not-too-bad night for R and M, who were determined to at least beat the Knobheads/David Beckham but had to settle for a third place prize instead.
It was a great night to be David Beckham, as they got to go home with the second place prize. It was not so good of a night to be David Beckham, as you are prone to constructive criticism for using the team name as a jab from a foul-up I had a couple weeks ago.
And it was a great night to be Quizmaster Charlotte, as not only did the Angels cream the Brewers, but our question about Sex and the City characters meant she got to see her name spelled right -- three times in a row! Super exciting, since that'll never happen again!

If you know your US state geography, celebrity breakups, or insurance companies, this was a great night for you! Everyone did so well, but no one team was safe from the others.
King Trivia virgins The Cool Kids were not so threatening tonight, though they would have destroyed the rest of you if we had a pickle shot challenge. They promised to be back next week with "the homies," so I'll hold them to it.
Traveler's Diarrhea started out strong with a 14-point score in the first round. But unable to score 100% on any other rounds, and with a two-point delay trying to remember John Goodman was that Disney guy, Hop On My Jetski was quick to catch up and give them a run for their money. In fact, the Jetskis knew 100% of the answers on four separate rounds tonight! We thought they had it in the bag, but risk is just as important in King Trivia as the random smarts you have. After chickening out on a double down on celebrity engagement splits, Knobheads doubled down on their New York/Virginia state borders, claiming first place winnings at the last minute!
Things had to get physical for tonight's drinking round -- one-third of Knobheads and one-fifth of Traveler's Diarrhea got a free round on the Quizmaster's tab for doing more than 25 pushups! Y'all, I'd brag to everyone I know for only being able to do ONE. Good for you fine gentlemen!
