Whoa, that was close! None of us knew this, but March 23 is also known as Near Miss Day. It marks the anniversary when an asteroid "closely" passed by Earth. Well, that asteroid was the difference tonight at trivia because we had a tie for 1st place between Mr. No Poster Shop and Riggins Rigs. The tiebreaker question was approximately how many miles did the asteroid pass by our planet (correct answer is 500,000 miles). Riggins Rigs guessed 100,000 and Mr. No Poster Shop said 60,000. Even though they were 400,000 miles off, Riggins Rigs was still close enough to win 1st place. Mr. No Poster Shop finished in 2nd. Show Me Your Kitties took 3rd and had to deal with some rowdy members they were sitting near them.

St. Patricks Weekend at Busby's
Definitely brought the best out to play this week. With a St. Patricks day theme it was a test to see who had the lucky of the Irish on their side. Cardinal Rosenberg made a strong statement in the early round deciding to double up and jump to first place with 12 points with a 7 point spread from the 2 place contenders. After a tough second round however Mr. No Poster Shop, closed shop and the round as our new 1st place contender. Cardinal Rosenberg didn't let that phase them, they came back to dominate the 3rd, 4th, and 5th round, as well as our bonus round winners of the night reclaiming 1st place with 39 pts. Meanwhile Mr. No Poster Shop was busy going neck and neck with I Like Turtles for second place with teams tied at 34. Somewhere in between that battle Mr. No Poster Shop must have found a leprechaun and force it's gold over because they came back in rounds 6 & 7 with a total of 53 points to close out another week as the reigning champs at Busby's!

League Play's Season 9 doesn't begin for another couple weeks (April 2). But tonight we had a super mini tournament of champions at Busby's West. Some of our top trivia teams were competing against each other. Yes, Mr. No Poster Shop was there. Riggins Rigs and Streets of Rage also played. Kickass Cousin, Cardinal Rosenberg, and even Spelling Does Cunt (NOT Count) were there, too. In the end, Mr. No Poster shop showed they're ready for the Tournament of Champions and took 1st place (87 points). They scored successful doubles in Rounds 1, 3, and 6 for the win. Streets of Rage finished in 2nd place (72). The only thing better than coming in 2nd place (well, besides winning 1st) was the return of Allen. Thanks again Allen for serenading us with "Nice n' Slow." Cardinal Rosenberg took 3rd (71), just one point behind Streets of Rage. Don't forget to wear green this Sunday for St. Patty's Day of Recovery!
