As a Quizmaster, I’m a little lenient with the scoring. Is that always a good idea? Therein lies the eternal debate. Case in point: on R5, one of my favorite visual rounds this year, the truly correct response for “Kr” was supposed to be “krypton,” not “kryptonite,” not “kryptonium,” or whatever else you guys wrote. I thought, “Aw, what the hell...” and I gave any close answers the point. I guess my real mistake was letting you guys know that ‘cuz... MAN, did I get some hate! Well, when it came to the R8 question about the “tiger wolf,” I counted “hyena” as wrong, and a lot of you wrote that. The correct response was supposed to be “spotted hyena” or “laughing hyena.” As expected, I got some more backlash when I very snarkily made that announcement but... well, refer back to the blog’s headline. BAZINGA! Well, let’s let bygones be bygones, and review an otherwise lovely quiz!

Round 1: E-ville, Like the Fru-its of the Deh-ville – I didn’t channel Pacino very well for the bonus question but, hey, good job on getting the right answer for that one, Pua! Was she proud of that fact...? Eh.

Round 2: Jesus Told Me to Make Lame Parodies – Am I the only one who thinks that there’s no way Jesus is on board with Apologetix? I actually looked up skyward as I was prepping the quiz and asked Him. No response yet, and that’s what really worries me.

Round 3: Balderdash – Yes, Jerry: “EX-cruh-bull” vs. “EX-ih-cruh-bull” makes all the difference in the world! FA-bulisssst!!!

Round 4: Crime & Punishment – Don’t traffic the mare-uh-juh-wanna, guys. That’s all we’re telling you.

Round 5: Ele-mentality – Moving on...

Round 6: I Got 99 Problems but Trebek Ain’t One – Hey, give me a break; this is the first time we’ve had a round with a guest QM like this, so I had a little trouble with the flow of the sound clip. A special thanks to Mr. Ken Jennings for his audio and, yes, I’m plugging his book “Maphead” one more time. YAY, COMMERCIALISM!

Round 7: (Video Round) Yo Mama So Crazy! – “NO... WIRE... HANGERS!!!”

Round 8: Random Knowledge – Texas can suck it.

Winners’ Circle – Unless I’m mistaken, we had a tie for 2nd going into R8, but it all worked itself out in the end. Here are your winners...

Third place: Team The Never Nudes – They claim that they’re coming in next week in nothing but jean shorts. Don’t do it, guys. I get the reference but I’ve been seriously reprimanded for wearing jorts. Apparently, they’re a couture cardinal sin.

Second place: Team The T.B. Players – I don’t want any part of this team if they have the tuberculosis...

First place: Team Hey, Sandy, Massage This – I gave these guys the bonus team name point because they were the only reference to the Travolta scandal. That, and I hate hairdressers...

Your email bonus question winner this week was... someone whose name I can’t remember! YAY! No, seriously, sorry about that; I saved the slip with your name on it... and I left it at home this morning. I want to say it was “Brian” something... Anyway, this nice gentleman quizzing with Pua and Charlie got himself a pack of AWESOME trading cards! I never did get to see them...

"I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with some Bengay..." Welcome back to quiz, everyone! A lovely evening once again! Again, we had some new quizzers, some returning and jocularity in spades! Let’s review:

I’m going to now perform AN XTREME version of this recap... and no one will recognize it.

Round 1: Mystery Round – Don’t jump the gun next time, Kev! The bonus question in the mystery rounds is always a bit of a curveball. :D

Round 2: Xtreme Covers – I think it would have been nice to hear an “xtreme” cover of Extreme’s “More Than Words.” And, of course, fuck Katy Perry.

Round 3: I’ll Earn When I’m Dead – Albert Einstein? Steve McQueen? What’s happening here?

Round 4: Recently in Stuff: Around the World Edition – “She doubled down...” Freakin’ Kevin!

Round 5: Do Not Adjust Your TV – One of the easiest R5’s EVER! :)

Round 6: I Love My Dead Gay Round – Am I going to have to watch “Zorro, the Gay Blade” now?

Round 7: (Video Round) Rube Goldberg Machines – MAN, was that first movie a dead giveaway with a shot of Pee Wee at the very end! It was good to see the clip from “Edward Scissorhands,” “BTTF,” and “The Goonies” too. Yeah, I only like stuff I can relate to.

Round 8: Random Knowledge – Yeah, Diego, I’m with you: “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was a truly horrendous piece of shit. And I’m sure we’re the first to think so because I think everyone else loved it. Oh, wait...

Winners’ Circle – It was tight right up until the end (wait, what?), and thankfully we had no ties! Here are your night’s winners...

Third place: Team The Darling Nikkis – If you were a member of our Facebook page, maybe you’d get that joke. “Like” it by following the link below!

Second place: Team Secret Service’s Secret Servicers – S.H.I.E.L.D Agent Phil Coulson would NEVER do anything like that...

First place: Team We Put the “Dur” in “Durty Nelly’s” – In the best possible way, of course...

Your email bonus question winner this week was... ANJEL! Kevin threw her name in the Batpail to make her one of TWO entries for the email bonus prize! First of all, wow, I’m losing my touch. Second, it’s so much cheaper than getting her an actual birthday present. Well done, Kev!

Q: Who Deserves the Spanking More?

Gerry-oke

A: Depends on whether you consider spanking a punishment or not. Welcome back to another week of quiz! We had a bit of a snafu with the scoring at the end of the night so, depending on how you look at it, you can either blame me or Lovely Lady Linda for it. Hence, the spanking. Well, that and a certain team name that inspired the idea. It’s all good; we worked it out. My apologies for any deflated spirits. More on all that later. For now, let’s go over the quiz...

Round 1: This Round is Brought to You by the Number Two – “Die-uh-FRA-gum.” What? That isn’t how you pronounce it?

Round 2: Hunger Games – No need to be ashamed about knowing (and liking) Lady Gaga with this crowd. And, COME ON! “Nobody puts Eric Carmen in a corner...?” COMEDY GOLD!

Round 3: Say When: Sci-Fi Movies – One of my personal favorite round formats, this one in particular was a good one. Kudos to the teams that got “The Fifth Element” off of just “Egyptian Temple,” especially Team Teabag Fiasco, the team that stopped the clues.

Round 4: Rangefinder History – A new round format, at least for me, I enjoyed the twist on this one too: after a list of five events, you had to identify the year in question, two points for the exact year, one if you were within a year either way.

Round 5: Lolkillers – This round was a bit disturbing, but you guys did pretty well on it overall. But I just couldn’t take “Michael Richards” for #7.

Round 6: Draft Day of the Dead: A Before & After Round – I like these too, and “Terry Bradshaw-shank Redemption” was fucking AWESOME! “John Elway of the (Intercepting) Fist” was strong too!

Round 7: (Video Round) Suicide is Painless – Death by jellyfish? I gotta watch “Seven Pounds!” Ditto for “The Room,” especially if it’s as horrible and cheesy as you guys claim.

Round 8: Random Knowledge – I gotta find my copy of the “Space Jam” soundtrack. There were some great songs on there...

Winners’ Circle – All right, look: we’re human. We’re gonna make mistakes. I had promised Team No Cure for Being Geoffery (Goffrey?) a bonus point in R8, forgot to apply it before reading the final standings, and had to recalculate. Turned out that the top two teams ended up tied, and we had to go to the five-question sudden death round. Unfortunately, Team The Andrew Capras, whom I had originally proclaimed the winners, ended up in second after that. However, I should say that Team Geoffrey had better keep Mr. Sportsmanship in check over there. ;) After all that rigmarole, here are your winners...

Third place: Team Concussion? Naw, It’s Just World Peace! Winning the team name bonus point tonight solely because it made Linda and I laugh, and because Linda is a Lakers fan.

Second place: Team The Andrew Capras – Sorry to let you down, kids. I know you love that first place win but, look, second is nothing to shake a proverbial stick at. There were 10 other teams that would have LOVED to have been you!

First place: Team No Cure for Being Geoffrey – I still think that’s “JEFF-ree...”

Your email bonus question winner this week was... CHRISTY DODGE! A first-time winner, I believe, she got herself a pair of Anime Eyes glasses! She tore them right out of the package and sported them for her picture. Atta girl!

I hunger for the games these links are bringin’...

Thanks for coming out again, everyone! Thanks to the awesome staff and management of Durty Nelly’s and, of course, A HUGE thanks to Lovely Lady Linda, for without whom, I’d be a much more stressed-out QM. BTW, she took off like a shot to avoid the spanking. Smart girl... Until next week, guys...

CHEERS!
