Let me start this blog of the utmost magnificance by saying CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY GRADUATES! (YAY, FANFARE) Now go out and get a job! For those of you that didn't graduate, but transcended onto a higher plain of semesters......um...sorry, I got nothing.
I must apologize for the Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde-ish way that my camera was acting last night. Dave won the Internet Question Drawing and his picture turned as fuzzy as the Cottage Cheese in my fridge. Also there were a few team shots that didn't make the cut because of fog. Maybe you'll make it next time. I had a stern talking to, with my camera and it just said, "Would you fuck me, I'd Fuck me"; which I thought was a little strange since I thought I had used up all of my Acid Flashbacks...
You might notice the squadron of young-uns in the picture from the team, Who Invited the Kids? This actually just started out as a team of six adults and there must have something in the water.....The children were well behaved and it turned out were all actually Mensa Midgets which is why they almost broke the top 3...almost.
I almost feel sorry for Hand Bananas Los Pollos Hermanos because of the fact that they put a (censored) word in repetition for the answer for Round 6 Question 3. Jambi the Genie was not that kind of Genie I'm sure. They thought I was going to ban them for their interesting answer and I say thee nay. (Watch the Avengers Movie...it totally rocks.)
By the way I loved Round 6, Writer's Cramp, or as I renamed it......Revenge of the Quizmaster!!!
This is for all of those teams who feel the need to write a short story in place of their team name. I will remember when the team name of Bob graced Las Cruces Geeks just a few short weeks ago. It was the shortest team name in our history and much appreciated. Don't get me wrong, if it's a funny name then I say more power to you!
I must give a shout out to the teams that got us thinking about the important questions this week:
What if Lightning is Google Earth taking pictures
Who invited the Kids?
Vegetables? In Soup?
and Every 60 Seconds in Africa.....a minute has passed.
I said at the start at the quiz that I would not mention any cuss words because of the kiddies; including the words that start with F, U, C, and K. One team paid homage to my genius by calling themselves The U Word. How is that for trend setting?
Well, I must now think of other ways to be copied for next time. Stay loose, just not between the legs!

Hello kiddies. It is time once again to remind some teams of the way things work. I understand that the alcohol you consume is destroying brain cells and it's a good idea to go over things after a while. It's like raising children. You get distracted by shiny objects and the fact that it rained last night for the first time since Las Cruces became a city, dampened even more brain cells. I'm making excuses for you okay!
For those of you new to Las Cruces Geeks, if you have something to say about your scores, you must do so ONLY AFTER the scores have been read. Still confused?
After the break after Round 3: You can only ask about rounds 1-3
After the break after Round 5: You can only ask about rounds 4 and 5
After the break after round 7: you can only ask about rounds 6 and 7
After Round 8: you can only ask about round 8
I am not going to have someone coming up at Round 8 wanting to check their Round 3 score. Kathy and I have more important things to do then to babysit. Not only that but of the three teams that came up last night, two of them were wrong because Kathy rocked! At that speed will you be able to pull out? was justified because I had accidentally passed by one of their rounds and therefore it was my fault. It was corrected.
Charlton Heston was a favorite choice for some teams as the person who played Perseus in the original Clash of the Titans flick. Chuck would have made a damn good Zeus though! "Olympia is made from people!'
Round 1: The End is the Beginning seemed to give Geeksters a bit of a challenge but they rebounded on Round 2: Party like it's 1998. I do admit the SKA versions of these songs were crazy but I don't think A-HA sounds like Michael Jackson. Maybe SKA is the only way that the Eagles sound like Ricky Martin but it is a stretch. Do we have that many music illiterate people out there who don't know that it's Tom Jones not Tom Johns, and it's Don McLean not John McLean. Isn't he the guy from those Diehard movies?
And a moment of silence for the Rolling Stones member who drowned in a pool in 1969.......Brian Griffin. It probably helped him being reincarnated as a cartoon dog.
I want to thank all of you Diehard Geeks for coming out in the rainstorm. Also come out to Dublin's on Mondays for Service Industry Appreciation Day. Just bring in a name tag or paystub and get all kinds of great specials!
Next week my children, we will play again nicely or someone will get beaten with several small dog's intestines.

The Avengers movie is coming!!!! I have seriously been waiting for this since I was 12. I am a huge Comic Book Geek and I will never stop! In honor of the movie coming out this week, I gave out Avengers treats and since there was a tie for 3rd Place, it gave me an opportunity to test the knowledge of the teams. I asked: Name at least 5 of The New Avengers in the Comic Books.
Cole from Nipples Always Lie correctly guessed at least 4. The representative for Romney's Illegitimate Children guessed several of the names of The Goonies, but unfortunately those little rascals did not become Avengers.
Our favorite retro team: The Ganja Warriors came back after being on vacation which caused a shift in the time-space continum causing one team to travel back in time and call themselves: Steve Irwin and the Stingrays.
They did say that they went to a couple of Denver Geeks Who Drinks quizzes and said without hesitation that the Alan Riehl hosted ones in Las Cruces are the best....ever! Your check is in the mail.
I know a lot of our regulars were home studying for their finals next week, but we did amazing with the teams we did have. I will say one thing though....most people have always known that if they have a bitch, gripe, moan or complaint, they can always talk to me. I'm like a daddy, and not the drunken, unwashed kind. So when someone bitches about something somewhere else(happens rarely mind you) that they could have talked to me about at the quiz, it makes me think that they are a little whiney bitch. So my limited intelligence strained for days but I came up with an award for the little babies: The Geeks Who Drink Cry Baby Award!
The next time I see some stupid baby crap in the comment section of the blog, then I will give the award (which is a sippy cup) to the offender the next time they are at the Quiz. Matteo seemed to miss out on his turn so I will start fresh this week. For those of you that think that this would be cool to collect sippy cups, remember one thing: For every cup you collect, it will affect the team you're on the next time you show up. DON'T FUCK WITH THE QUIZMASTER ASSHOLES!
As far as the rest of you are concerned, we shall rock on my comrades...AVENGERS BABY!!!!!!
