TRANSLATION FROM FOX:
Saw some fresh faces geared up and ready to dominate, which is always a treat. Shout to Government Cheese for betraying Geeks Who Drink for a night, and I'm Drinking Beer who saw the game all the way through and went home with the third place winnings!
Everyone struggled trying to figure out Dave Bautista's life pre-acting career, and there were some tricky landmarks, like the CN Tower in Toronto, that no one could figure out. But most everyone knew their general knowledge, Luke Perry roles (rest in peace), "H" countries, and superheroes, so you didn't have to be stone cold sober in order to do well tonight.
As it usually is, things were close between Knobheads and Hop On My Jetski tonight. Knobheads' refusal to double down in Round 1 and their incorrect guess for Round 4 cost them the chance to win their first place winnings by one measly point. Knobheads did win free drinks on the Quizmaster's tab tonight for having the fastest writing skills out of everyone in the bar, so they don't have much to complain about.
In spite of some challenging rounds, we had a respectable group come out to play King Trivia, and just about everyone toughed it out to the very end, winning some Boondocks gift certificates and free alcohol along the way.
It was a close game between Hop On My Jetski and Knobheads until Round 5, when the Jetskis were so confident on all their toxic connections that they successfully doubled down, giving them a comfortable lead for the rest of the evening. Trebek's Rejects knew the most about Sean Connery and their double-M's, enough to achieve third place without putting forth any extra effort in Rounds 6 and 7. Their early resignation meant King Trivia virgins FBGM-Slinky got to take home the third place prize in spite of a fourth place ranking -- kudos to you guys!
Knobheads definitely scored tonight -- not only did they take home the second place prize, but when put to a vote by everyone in the bar, they won free Bud Light for having the best pickup line: "Did you just fart, 'cause you blew me away!" Incredibly applicable, as I just had my first sigmoidoscopy yesterday (not that you needed to know that, but my brazenness shouldn't come as a surprise to you, either).
Special shout outs to El Guapo and Beer Me, who weren't so confident, but still did pretty well, and had fun along the way.

Predators got their softball game rained out, Bartop wasn't scheduled to work late, Hop On My Jetski brought the whole calvary, and Knobheads had nothing better to do... and so a fun-filled evening of King Trivia commenced!
Just about everyone knew their vegetables (thank God, 'cause they're good for you!), Greek alphabet, and wrestler movies. But almost everyone was stumped by Wes Anderson and the wonder-ful Round 3. But it was hard for everyone to beat the Jetskis, who brought the whole gang out to dominate (seriously, the hardest part of their evening was figuring out how to split the $30 first place prize between a jillion people).
But there were some silver linings for Bartop and Predators, where one lucky Bud Light Ball shooter from each team swished their way to a free drink on the Quizmaster!
