It's a new era at Velvet Oak Tavern's Trivia Night. The fall of neo-Rome, the end of one trivial legacy, and the beginning of a new one have begun. 

The Glucose Gladiators were brought to their knees by new and returning teams but gave a valiant performance. The family-unit Fucknados finished in first place and we had our first tie-breaker showdown with returning team Comfortably Dumb and 6 Funzies

A special shoutout to One and Done and Comfortably Dumb for their last-round performance, showing off their GDP/economic prowess. 

Special Thank-You to Andrew of Glucose Gladiators: Thank you for helping with sound, boosting our mics, and being an all-around awesome-possum human.

Fresh and hot competition for the Glucose Gladiator!

Last night's crowd brought in a lot of cutie competitors, especially the four-legged ones. The intellectual army of one, 125%, held onto their first-place ranking until the last round! Comfortably Dumb demonstrated comfortable competence and maintained a secure 3rd place finish. 

Berryhill Refugee gave our teams something to worry about, but was shaken up by the art-history final round (we see you MFAH members.) WildcatsDiana's Gang, and Berryhill Refugee kept each other and all of us on our toes with a mere handful of point differences throughout the game. 

Will next week's teams be whetstones for the undefeated Glucose Gladiators or will we finally see the fall of neo-Rome?

In the style of a logic riddle, I present:

"Glucose Gladiators say no to Cookies"

Stacy's Mom was One and Done by Threat Level Midnight, with a 4-point lead, but One and Done was outdone by the BBQs by yet another 4-point lead. Glucose Gladiators took first place. Stacy's Mom cleaned out the pantry with Cookies or BBQ(s). 

What order did the teams place? 

Post Note: A sweet shoutout to the players and all the hilariously, intentionally wrong answers. Who knew that Calliope is actually the 'Chief Executive Officer' of Greek Epic Poetry? You learn something new every week.
