We might be out of August, but trivia action remains as intense as ever at the Fountainhead. No Labor Day lull was felt as 7 teams fought it out in a game that saw numerous lead changes and some big big swings down the stretch.
Ladies & the Tramps played with surgical precision, not letting any of their three perfect rounds go undoubled. I've said it a million times: using the double-or-nothing skillfully is the key to victory at trivia. The reverse was proved as several leads were blown, and in the end The Drs Are In squeaked by in a tie-breaker with Ask My Balls for second. Plus, we learned where babies come from, thanks to the health educator on Aunt Becky Got Me Into College: Abstinence-only sex ed.

Sizzling trivia tonight at the Fountainhead that once again found it's stride down the stretch. Successful doubles in the later rounds gave Ask My Balls another victory in championship form, while blown doubles sapped the wind from the sails of some other teams. Notorious RBG left it in autopilot and cruised to a second-place finish, while Aunt Becky Got Me Into College, a team of one this week, heroically managed to snag third! Well played trivia all around!

A quality trivia night in downtown San Jose as we were granted a brief respite from the heat of summer for a cooler evening game. Eight teams came out to dance the trivia tango, and many familiar faces brought reinforcements.
Ask My Balls played with seven members, and it was enough to net them a towering 85 points. They were trailed by several teams which put up good enough scores to win in other weeks, but not this stacked game. The teams as a whole displayed a surprisingly detailed knowledge of both birds and dessert, with plenty of successful doubles when it came to both picture and handout rounds. When everyone is good at the same categories, you have to be that much better to quaff the sweet nectar of victory!
