QUIZ RECAP

A great turnout tonight at Slater's! And a great introduction to our game for Slater Gators, who were skeptical at first but quickly grew to love it and became the loudest team in the joint! Definitely because of excitement and not anything that they were drinking. Totally...

But it was a great game for all! The teams were very even for a good number of rounds with many two- and three-way ties across the board. It took until Round 5 for the gaps to begin emerging as Mike Tyson's Speech School and Slater Gators both went for a Double or Nothing, but only the former emerged with the points. Unfortunately for our newcomers, "Singapore" instead of "Japan" doomed them to a big, fat zero in their point totals. Also of note, We R as dumb ass we look guessed that the theme of the round was "Marihuana"...which was funny on several levels because, no, that's not a typo.

After Round 7 taught almost every team that China doesn't have very bit exports of cars (at least in 2017), we entered into a tiebreaker round for third place, with Atari Kobayashi emerging with the gift card after beating out We R by 1.1 mph in trying to guess the speed of the fastest MLB pitch ever.

Mike Tyson's Speech School finished on top for the evening with the newly-registered Pear Tree taking home second place, marking both teams' second week in a row finishing in those positions! Great job, all!

See you all next week!

QUIZ RECAP

'Twas a quiet evening at Slater's! Two teams entered...and two teams left with a gift card apiece, so happy endings all around!

Mike Tyson's Speech School was back with a vengeance tonight and began their domination of the evening with a Double or Nothing in the very first round. And they could've Doubled Round 5 for an even larger lead! Although it was really exciting that both teams figured out the Facebook theme in that round as well.

But as I kept reminding Beer Babes throughout the night: anything can happen. It's just that "anything" included exactly what they thought would happen. But we all had a blast learning that Regina King was indeed in Shameless, because I never said that she had a big role, just that she was in it at some point!

Two takeaways from tonight:
1. One of the members of the Speech School took a shot in the dark about the movie Down and Out in Beverly Hills for the matching in Round 6...and was right! But no one believed him, so because of the missed point I suggested that movie as future Christmas/birthday presents for them all.
2. Elements from the periodic table can be difficult to remember, so if you ever can't think of some, take a page out of the Beer Babes' book and make them up! My personal favorites were "Caterpillarinium" and "Capital-ism", the latter of which definitely wasn't already a word.

Great job tonight, teams! Hopefully I'll see you all and more next week! Let's drum up some competition!

QUIZ RECAP

It was a great game! Even though we only had 6 teams, everyone was super competitive and it was such a great fun game.

Bob was in the lead at the get go. In almost all the rounds, he was in the lead. But in round 6, Phillip River's 20th Kid, doubled down thanks to his knowledge of baseball, and took the lead.

The questions were fun and round 7 was an absolute blast. The most commonly missed question tonight was "In England, which vegetable used to be called 'Italian asparagus?" The answer was Broccoli!!
