Apparently you’ve all decided to not follow any of them though. You picked a good night because this oh so hungover quizmaster did not feel like fighting. What I do love about you guys is your team codependency. Benny B & the Bosses skype in Benny since he moved to West Texas and the Sweet Ninjas brought back founding member JayAre via the interwebs...I’m still pretty surprised we didn’t see a dancing bear in the background. Or at the very least her bath tub crash through the ceiling into her kitchen. I would have liked that. If you’re reading this JayAre, that last statement isn’t true. That wouldn’t have been hilarious to watch at all...not at all. For those of you concerned about the use of laptops and technology during the quiz, I DQ’d all these guys before we even got to round 2. They're just here for the love of the game. Also, I’m pretty sure if there were a movie about the Buffalo Bros quiz it would be directed by Sam Raimi and star Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston.
Let’s talk about this mother of a quiz. Round 2 was amazing. For those of you that were wondering if the the Apologetix are available for parties, I found their myspace page for you. You can get all their tour info there. Or, if you’re the guys from Hurry Up, I gotta get back to Katy Trail and you have a free pass to the Baylor Campus, I’m sure they perform every Tuesday and Thursday in the common area on campus.
The only thing that round 3 taught us last night is that it’s not gays that will ruin the sanctity of marriage, it is Kim Kardashian. When Pam Anderson’s marriage to the ever so classy Kid Rock lasts longer than your very public, VERY televised marriage, you’re doing something wrong. It appears that the only person that could keep a hold on this Kardashian was Ray Jay.
Now, round 7. It was the audio round to end all audio rounds. For those of you that don’t know how I handle our hints on our facebook page, I usually pick an audio round and a song sample that I like then I look it up on youtube. The best part of this is reading some of the comments on the videos. I’m going to share some of my favorites with you:
That last one just shows us what is wrong with the world today. It’s Glee. Oh, and all the Jew hate. Also, I feel bad for heman42037 some woman messed with his taint real bad.
Alright, that’s enough about the quiz. Let’s talk about our winners. Because the Sweet Ninjas had 18 people and were phoning a friend, they forfeitted their win. So, Insert Name Here got to take home the top prize while the ladies from We Showed Up actually showed up for a change and got to take home the second place prize. Nicely done ladies!! If Putin’s Pooters had chosen to joker round 2 instead of round 7, they would have been in the victory circle. Next time guys...next time. The worst team name award goes to Always Fucking 4th Place We'll settle for a 3 way tie for 8th place you guys were so close!
Here’s the business:
See ya next Tuesday!!

So...apparently we had a quiz last night. It always excites me to watch my quizzers give soccer moms the stink eye when they are taking up tables past 7:30. I keep waiting for you guys to start wrestling. When that happens, I will retire as a quizmaster (maybe).
Round 2 last night took us back to 1998, which was the one and only semester that I lived on campus at Texas Wesleyan University (GO RAMS!). It was a ska cover round. I even remember having a conversation in the lounge discussing ska bands while playing pool poorly. In honor of the all ska round and (unrelatedly) my love of the Beastie Boys, I’m going to tell you guys a little story.
Elizabeth Hall at TWU was an all girls dorm hall. I chose to live here because the co ed dorm hall smelled like feet and squid. It was mostly dudes and foreign exchange students. I can only imagine what that kitchen looked like. Also, you had to share a bathroom with your entire floor if you lived there. At least in Elizabeth, we just had a suitemate that we had to share a bathroom with. Our suitemate was Tempe (yes that is her real name and no I’m not changing names to protect the innocent). Tempe hated me. I represented everything she hated about the world...mostly happiness. My roommate would leave the dorm hall on the weekends and stay at her boyfriend’s house. This left me to entertain myself. I’m either REALLY awesome at doing this or terrible...depending on which side of the entertainment you’re on. Now, we discovered early on that if we forgot to unlock Tempe’s bathroom door she had no access to the bathroom until one of us came back to the room. There was usually a crudely written note on our dry board ‘reminding’ us to unlock the door when we were done in there. It typically contained curse words and more often than not looked like it was written by someone that really had to take a shit but couldn’t. This only added to Tempe’s contempt for me and only created an urge inside me to leave the door locked at least twice a week.
Now, I feel like this is a good time to tell you about my love for the Beastie Boys. License To Ill has been one of my top 5 albums since I first heard it in the 5th grade when we secretly listened to it at a Girl Scout retreat. It is a CD that has been in my collection for as long as I can remember. It’s now a staple in my iTunes. Ad Rock, MCA and Mike D have been my buddies since my pre teen years. It is fair to say that when none of my other buddies are around, I call these guys up and I’m guaranteed to have a good time.
I decided to do exactly that one Saturday morning around 10 am. I was bored and needed to do some homework and/or cleaning. I cued up License To Ill and set to it. The song “Girls” comes on and I decide it’s a good time to take a break from my studies and “dance.” If you’re wondering to yourself what that would look like. This is a pretty good representation. The song ends and I turn and there are both my RA and Tempe standing in my doorway staring at me in complete amazement. The RA then says “We were going to tell you to turn it down and have some respect but after seeing your performance, carry on.” Tempe adds, “But seriously, turn it down.” I complied, because I get it, not everyone has great taste in music like I do. I dream of a world where some day this isn’t the case. I then decided that I should take a shower and go visit my parents for the remainder of the weekend. I can’t believe forgot to unlock Tempe’s bathroom door until the following Monday. Oops...
The point of this story is...sometimes, I just wanna dance.
Oh yeah, congrats to Celebrity Death Pool Trifecta and the Sweet Ninjas. They took home first and second place respectively. Just Say No To The Sweet Ninjas was a close third. Better luck next time guys!

There were quite a few new faces in the crowd last night...which makes this quizmaster very happy. There were a few regulars that I will take a moment to call out...where the fuck were you, Benny B & the Bosses? I expect some sort of letter from a doctor next week.
Have you seen this team???
Round 1 last night was about professionals and criminals...and professional criminals. It surprised me when I had to teach Smartinis about the difference between verbs and adjectives.
Conviction is to Acquittal as Guilty is to Innocent.
Round 2 gave us New Edition, Carly Rae Jepsen, Evanescence, and Phil Collins. I heard 3 of those 4 artists on my way home from the quiz last night. Remember when I said I had never heard Carly Rae Jepsen...I’ve heard it, but only the first 15 seconds of it. I promptly change the channel at that point. Last night, I zoned out and caught myself about a full minute into the song. I changed the station only to get Call Me When You’re Sober. I changed the station again to find the Phil Collins hit In the Air Tonight. I kept hoping for Candy Girl, but it never happened. There was a high score of 13 from 4 Sets of Tits and a low score of 6 from and with 72 points. I am still on the fence about who I respect more.
Round 3 was about colleges that NONE of us went to. I will say, I was pretty surprised Texas Wesleyan isn’t on the list of “most exclusive schools.” Then I remembered they started giving out full scholarships to anyone with a C average in about 2000.
Good god...Round 4...clowns. No thank you. I was a little surprised that people got the Twisted Metal/Sweet Tooth question wrong. Even without playing a video game since I played Toe Jam & Earl on Sega, I kinda figured it was an ice cream truck. Station Wagon and Volkswagon Beetle were just a few of the wrong answers I got. Also, how can you guys possibly confuse It with Killer Klowns from Outer Space? Impossible.
Round 5 was about non important characters from your favorite childhood shows. I’m going to have to let the poor copy guys at Office Depot know they were WAY OFF!!! We had an average of 4.5 on this round...clearly you guys were way off also.
Round 6 was about the war on women. Here are a few things we learned last night:
Round 7 was about the man with the voice, Morgan Freeman. Here are some movies you all CLEARLY wish were on this list (ordered by number of guesses): March of the Penguins, Shawshank Redemption, and Death to Smoochie. Did someone actually just confuse Robin Williams with Morgan Freeman?
Round 8...is always what it comes down to. My top 5 teams were pretty close going into this round. It appears I’m going to have to make a mix tape of sad songs for I Survived the Mud Run because they finished one point out of the money. Funny thing is Dusty handed me the answer sheet and said “I think this is it. I think we did it. It’s a winner.” I even high fived him. It was a premature high five because NONE of those statements were accurate.
It appears that Insert Name Here is making a name for themselves as the team to beat. Good job guys. Oh yeah...and the Sweet Ninjas were there too.
I’m down to my socks so it must be business time.
See ya next Tuesday!!
