A packed house tonight, and a tough game all around!
Pasadena Peeps reign supreme again, but it was a hard fought battle. Team Fuck Yeah was only three points behind them, with our regulars Those People and 900Dollarydoo$ duking it out in a tie breaker round for third.
While they both wildly underestimated how heavy the heaviest chocolate statue would be, 900Dollarydoo$ just edged out a victory, redeemable for future discounts but not chocolate. A shame, really.
Congrats to all who played and stuck with it, can't wait to see you in fighting form next Monday.

This was a crowded evening! Kudos to the teams that stuck in out over the noise of the sports crowd. This was one of the most challenging nights yet.
The Pasadena Peeps played professionally, pulling primary placement. Perfection!
I've got a Magic Johnson had a riskier time- they started awkwardly by failing to double in the first round, but their final double paid off and catapulted them into silver. Well done!
And as for Baby Groot's Got Wood, they played consistently and let that final double secure the bronze. Groovy!
Shout out to our other teams for doing their best, I can't wait to see you all next week!

Interesting night tonight, filled with people who know very little about the Beatles but a lot about David Letterman. But that's trivia for you, you never know what someone knows until they know it. You know?
Congrats to the 900dollarydoo$ for their first gold medal win at Rocco's! You played to a consistent strategy of doubling up in the first round, and then knowing lots of things. Well done.
Those People, you still got silver. Don't be sad. You're still smart. I promise.
Points to Baby Groot's Got Wood for an apt if disturbing name. That creativity clearly got you the bronze.
Perpetually Second Place, way to kill the drinking round instantly! Maybe you and the Salty Dogs will return to the top 3 once again. Fingers crossed.
Thanks to all the teams for trying out my trivia by email experiment. Next week, we'll be back to normal. See you soon!
