You guys! You guys! You guys! I got a new PA!!! (My dumb ass diagnosed the problem wrong. Luckily Sara & everyone at the King Trivia office hooked me up! I really would've been SOL without it, because WE WERE PAAAAAAAACKED!!!!! We had teams sharing friggin' tables!
Tonight's drinking round was "Everyone's a Comedian" where I had teams write jokes. Mary and I picked out favorite! Some were political, some were really dark, and some I didn't understand until I read through them again while writing this. The lucky drink winners were Baby's Night Out! With: "Did you hear about the man with five dicks? ... His pants fit like a glove!" Congrats! That sounds like a classic, but I can honestly say I've never heard it before!
Meanwhile... In our regular trivia game... In 3rd place, the weasels that pack a punch! The Fighting Mongooses! Consistently scoring high in all 7 rounds!
Skyrocketing above 8 of their competitors and into 2nd place, with a perfect double down in the final round! A team with the dirtiest, longest and hardest (to say) names I've encountered in a long while, newcomers Dildo Teabaggins & the Mustache Ride of the Gods!
Tonight's champions, Doubling down in round 3 and holding onto that lead throughout the rest of the game! With a 3 game hot streak of at least 91 degrees, Hotter Than a Right Triangle!

Well, I guess Murphy's law continues to plague me! That or I'm just a technological idiot. My PA troubles continued despite the new mic and cable graciously supplied by my higher ups at King Trivia. I hope my players still had a great time despite me shouting at them throughout the game!
Tonight's drinking round was a simplified game of the pub classic: darts! A rep from each team got one dart to throw at the board, the highest score won! (I didn't include doubles or triples, because to be honest, I forgot which was which.) Team Vitamin D (Oh my!) *I definitely used my George Tekei impression on that!* won some drinks by hitting the 20! They were the 2nd team up, making it really hard for the other teams to win!
Coming in 3rd place, this team hunted down a victory with the fervor of a Greek Goddess! Team Artemis!
In 2nd place, a team in the same school of thought as your humble quizmaster "GIF is pronounced with a HARD G!" Jiff is for Peanut Butter!
Tonight's champion! Derek played all by himself and NAILED a double or nothing in the "match the president to the decade of his birth" round, skyrocketing him to 1st place! He had the right style for a mid-summer night's trivia game, because in this heat, Hair Is Not An Option!

Murphy's law: If something can go wrong, it will. Fortunately for me, Murphy's law only struck at the end of my game when I had to switch over to my AMAZINGLY BOOMING VOICE (after my mic died) in order to announce the answers for round 7 and tonight's final scores/winners. I'm really glad it didn't decide to die at round 3!
Speaking of winners... Winning tonight's "Find the Fool" Drinking Round where I shuffled a joker into a deck of cards and teams guessed how many cards it would take to get to "the fool." My fellow Futurama fans The Fighting Mongooses got a little more drunk than they first anticipated!
Coming in 3rd place was a team who dared to ask the question that's always on everyone's mind when entering a bar... What's on Tap?
In 2nd place, the team with the most creative name I've ever friggin' heard... Team Name!
Tonight's winners: Just a few city boys, born and raised in... Wait... There's No Such Thing as South Detroit!!!
Congrats to our winners! Thank you ALL so much for playing! Please join me right here, same bat time, same bat channel! This is your friendly neighborhood Quizmaster signing off! I'm gonna drink some honey tea now... Who am I kidding? It's Jack Daniels.
