Sometimes reading the list of team names at our quiz is a stroll through the headlines -- mostly filthy tabloids. For me, that was the case last night. Until two names referenced John Travolta, I had no idea the megastar was accused by male massage therapists of sexual battery until I saw John Travolta's Not-So-Happy Ending and Travolta's Masseuse. I also had to look up "sexual battery." I had no idea how it's different than "sexual assault," and trying to create a distinction in my head was not pleasant. Truthfully, I still have no idea what the difference is other than swappable terms.
Anyway, how about that smell round?! The coffee threw a lot of you off, but for the most part teams scored somewhere in the middle. Congrats to The Hare Test for acing the round. You must be chock full o'nuts.
With a certain team that will not be mentioned absent, there was a lot of jockeying for first place. Great competition. Triple Nerd Score took it in the end with The Picadilly Twitz and (the exciting return of) Busey just trailing behind. Favorite team name of the night is hands down The Reasonable Clown Posse. But I really like Damp Pork for some reason. Dixon's Cider was clever. You should bottle that.

Experts say that smell draws more memories then any other sense. But given how many of your scored 3's last night on the Round 5 smell round, y'all don't have many memories of spices. And fennel was the worst. I'm going to propose a new theory: Ska music draws more audial memories than any other genre. Three teams scored perfect 16's on the audio round last night.
But perhaps that's not the most remarkable thing about last night. Our top three teams all scored in the top three, but the Slump Busters were in third! Cograts to The Picadilly Twitz for landing on top, and Triple Nerd Score for respectable second. It looks like I Saw I Came I Conquered only managed the first two objectives. Bass to Mouth and Boobies! were two busy with other activities.
What did you think of the smell round? Leave comments in the -- well, the comments section below.

Yes, Emilio is gone. But that does not mean I'm the "new Emilio." I'm the old Josh. I imagine both of us have reasons to consider the term an insult. And as for team Where's Emiio?, he left you. He found a new audience to harass. I can forward any messages to him, but I can't guarantee he'll return them.
If anyone would like to see my qualifications, I'd be happy to provide them, but I will say I was one of the first quizmasters -- ever. Otherwise, can we move on from Emilio? Kthx.
Ok, so, I tried to order a Macbook Pro with a carbon fiber shell, and they said they're not available. I also talked to Phil Collins and he'd like to keep his solo career separate from Genesis. (Peter Gabriel concurs.) I also checked with Emilio's lady parts, and his period is not the same as ovulating. So, those that answered otherwise mostly embarrassed themselves last night.
Speaking of embarrassment, I know a lot of you have legacy team names I need to learn to recognize, but overall the team names were kind of lame. Mostly, there were some disturbing ones, like Moist Fist and Drunken Clams. Is this how you usually roll? Big Red? Just the Two of Us? Hmm. Gotta say my favorite was Vegetarian Hunters. Their meat is so lean! But the yoga-vegans are bit too sinewy. We need the dairy to impart a certain -- well, milkiness to the meat, like a suckling pig.
Slump Busters won. Yawn.
See you next week when John and I will be offering post-quiz tango lessons.
