Well, we had quite the Laborious Labor Day special at Roccos in Pasadena! I, Quizmaster Ben Benjamins Esq. took our wonderful attendees through 8 rounds of delight. Some of the hardest questions I've read so far in my (short) career as quizmaster, questions that I found myself googling before the game just out of sheer curiosity...

 

Plus, we had a HUGE turnout...I almost thought we wouldn't have a game, but then a SLEW of new players showed up just as we kicked off round one! We even had some mid-game players join that didn't do well, but had a ton of fun. And that's the whole point of the game, right?!

We also had some disappointed players who learned that the 4th round was NOT the drinking round, but we had a special for them for Labor Day: name the TV bosses...we had quite a few name common ones, a few I had to google, and even one team put damn near every game of thrones character...I'll give ya John Snow, but that's about it...seems like everyone bosses everyone else around on that show! Needless to say, winners of the drinking round and the main game were both the Mothers of Invention with 50 points!

 

Thanks everyone for turning up and giving your brain cells a quick awakening! Hope to see you all back again soon!

Nice game teams! Those People nailed two doubles, securing their victory swiftly, but fumbled their third! However, Check For Fruits rose from a small slump to nail the final double and stake their claim to silver by a margin of one point!

Well done teams! I'll be out of town next week- be nice to the baby sitter!

Y'all do not make it easy on me, do you?

We had some intense competition tonight. Check For Fruits started strong, but Those People snuck up on them with a double in round 6 that stole the game. Still, the teams were only apart by a four-point margin. No shame, and congrats to both of you!

What was a little more interesting? The fight for third.

Newcomers Tubby Cunts had some hits and misses in terms of doubling, but they remembered every single check-in point (pen included) in the final round. At first it seemed like they had third on lockdown, until F?tbol, Not Football noted a point discrepancy and the game went into a tiebreaker!

The two teams had to guess the price of the world's most expensive H?rmes Birkin Bag...for which they both wrote the same answer. Your quizmaster was in uncharted territory and had to come up with a solution, and fast!

Using the resources available, three spare questions were pulled from round 3. Team with the highest score won. Final results?

F?tbol Not Football:1

Tubby Cunts: a perfect 3!

The Cunts won the bronze and deservedly so! But no shame to F?tbol, Not Football- you fought hard tonight.

Well done teams! See you next week!
