QUIZ RECAP

A lot of first timers tonight (at least for me)! We had the return of the Churchill Boys from last week as well as the debut of Opening Day, We Left Our Ringer @ Home, Vita, and the split from Mike Tyson's Speech School that resulted in half of that original team's schism into the Mystery Stains. Blame the in-laws being in town for the newborn shown in the photos! Everyone say it with me: Awwwww....

But enough baby talk...this is serious business, as trivia always is. And even with the extra help that the baby brought to their team, Mike Tyson's Speech School started out rough with a bungled Double or Nothing in the first round (Star Trek doubled CBS All Access subscribers, not Twilight Zone!). But with the help of their new mascot (who I swear I could see using an iPhone at one point, but no one believed me...), they rocketed back into first place with perfect Rounds 5 and 6 with a Double in the latter of the two! And there they remained, securing their gift card and saving the money they didn't spend for the little one's college fund.

Other areas of note:

• Nearly all the teams got the 6-point clue for Round 4 as there was frantic scribbling of Demi Moore as the answer after they heard the actress in question was in St. Elmo's Fire.
• Barely Knowledgable came in a strong second place after neglecting to Double down earlier. And due to their constant (and not serious) heckling throughout the night, I'm now going to call them Barely Tolerable.
• Vita did better than they expected by scoring 7 points by the end of the night! Considering they only thought they'd get one or two, this was a huge step up!

Congrats to all and thanks for a fun night! See you next week!

QUIZ RECAP

There was major man love for the NFL quarterback picture card round! One player suggested that next time we do a round on NFL linebackers 😀

We had three newbie teams, two of which placed! Congrats to the Banana Cat Club, who even after losing three of their players, managed to win third place. Two guys out for drinks stayed for trivia, named themselves the Churchill Boys, and came in second.

It was fun to see back trivia regulars Baby Cheezes and Mike Tyson's Speech School! Being a registered team and earning their 2 bonus points, Mike Tyson's Speech School beat out the Churchill Boys and came in first!!!

QUIZ RECAP

A slow night at Slater's for the week, but with three teams there was still plenty to celebrate!

We celebrated Elliot, who got up off of his bar stool from normally being one of our players and co-hosted with me this week! We'll hopefully see him hosting a game of his own here soon.

We celebrated the beginnings of two new New Zealand soap operas (since two teams didn't know the answer to that question): Days of Our Kiwis and General Wallaby. Coming soon to Hululuru...try saying that pun three times fast...

We celebrated the finale of Game of Thrones a few weeks later with not one, but two questions that Atari Kobayashi were not able to answer. As I told them, this is a sign that they're spending too much time not watching television and it's a shame they've chosen other, more outdoorsy activities with fresh air. A real shame.

Once the kids in our section left, we were able to celebrate saying the full name of Two Chicks with Dicks, who were heretofore known as "Two Chicks with...Guys".

All three teams celebrated guessing random countries that had recently been in the World Cup because everyone did much better than expected in the final round and got at least eight countries right!

And finally, we celebrated the success of our Top 2 teams for the evening: Two Chicks with Dicks and Baby Cheezes! Congrats, you two!

See you all next week!
