Tough night for the usually formidable DJ Roomba this week. Nicest people you'd ever wanna meet (three of the roombas are featured in photos #2 and #3 above) got stung on the unsuccessful double not once; not twice but three times during our quiz.

That's gotta hurt. But what's even worse was that their beautiful doogie companion (photo #9) told me later that he knew the correct answers but his humans wouldn't listen to him!

Best original team name of the night goes to Putin Went to Jared! because, I mean...yeah!! They also took third place. Kudos.

Reliable regulars The Bad Explainers and #squadgoals led the pack, as they so often do, and we're already looking forward to next week's quiz on the patio. Hope to see you there!

"Never, never, never give up."
-- Sir Winston Churchill

When this week's winning team had just five points after the first three rounds, they might have given up, or they might have paused to ponder Sir Winston's wisdom, and dug a little deeper.

Bad Dads opted to hunker down and get serious, and with successful double in the final three rounds, climbed out of the hole they'd dug for themselves and squeaked past last week's winners, The Donner Party Train for the win.

The Donners (and Marie?) took 2nd this week with another strong showing, and newcomers Zeetus Lapeetus rounded out our top three finishers.

Se ya next week, for another edition of the best trivia in Southern California.

We had quite the three-way battle this week among our top three finishers, The Donner Party Train (1st) The Bad Explainers (2nd) and #squadgoals 3rd), with the well-executed double-or-nothing attempt once again making the crucial difference that put these three outstanding competitors at the top of our leaderboard.

Congratulations, kids!

We were curious about some of the team names in use last night. While "Pobody's Nerfect" is self-explanatory, we asked The Bad Explainers to tell us how they chose their name, but they were unable to tell us - which makes sense, when you think about it.

We asked The Angry Badgers what the badgers were angry about, and it turns out badgers are just sort of naturally angry. A state of affairs that was NOT improved when they finished in 13th place!!

Better luck next time, Badgers. See y'all next week,
