Somehow, in the timespan of one week, we managed to TRIPLE our team numbers at Caveau Wine Bar. I told y'all that my super-radness would spread to the corners of Denver one of these days. Pay no attention to the fact that the Rockies were in San Francisco losing to the Giants.
No matter the reason, quiz was rockin' last night and new teams were deftly roped into our web of awesomeness. There was lots of smartassery and inappropriate jokes, which is just how I like to spend my Monday nights thankyouverymuch.
Inside Tinkerbell's Vagina handily won with a staggering 80 points last night, proving that pixie pussies are, in fact, magical. Metta Whirled Peas came in a distant second, having never been able to trump Tink in any round last night. HOWEVER, Trevor of MWP managed to walk away with a sweet switchblade spork as our internet bonus question winner. Now he can be prepared every time he goes to Taco Bell.
Of course all the rest of my teams last night were amazing in their own ways, especially The Ambiguously Straight Duo who decided that the best thing to do between questions was give each other massages and play a lil' tonsil hockey for some of their OWN bonus points, ifyouknowwhatImean.
The most amusing part of last night's quiz may well have been the insanely hard Round 7, for which I received SEVERAL answer sheets that simply said WHAT THE FUCK?!
God, I love this job.

As you all noticed (and promptly pointed out to me), I am not your regular faithful quizmistress Lindsay. And that's what I like about Caveau Wine Bar. It's not your typical low brow type of joint with patrons so drunk that they can't differentiate between two folks of different gender. It's a classy place for classy people and last night we had ourselves some (mostly) classy quiz as a result.
I'll admit, there is a certain surreal feeling as a quizmaster when you have a group of very proper looking people just a table away, swirling their wine glasses and commenting on how well balanced the flavor is, and you have to say things like, "America's Wang" into a microphone. Luckily, these people knew how to party and even though they weren't playing along with us, I felt a certain kinship towards them. Maybe it was because a woman of no less than 50 years was able to correctly identify Queen Latifah in the audio round, an event which caused us to share a high five in our heads. Or maybe it was the fact that regardless of if you choose beer or wine, everyone just wants to get drunk. Something to ponder going forward.
Fun things my quizzers taught me last night:
It was a slower night at quiz, but I blame that on the gloomy weather that decided to blow in after setting record highs only a day or so prior. In the end, John Travolta Stars In... would never relinquish the vice grip they had on the lead for the entire evening. Brenda, Donna, and Kelly put up a valiant effort, but were not able to withstand the onslaught brought on by our eventual victors. Shower Dicks nearly eked out 2nd place, but fell just a bit short in our Random Knowledge round.
I enjoyed our time together and will try to send Lindsay to a far off land sometime soon so that I can make a return appearance. It was a good, relaxing night of quiz and if nothing else, I learned that you can make almost any John Travolta movie title into something lewd and disgusting. Here is the full list, compliments of our winners:

Looks like baseball season is going to continue to cause quiet nights at Caveau, but it seems as though everyone is ok with that because all the teams are pretty much guaranteed to win some free booze. So really, WE'RE ALL WINNERS.
Drinking For One Again made a triumphant return last night, and managed to upset our reigning champs - Meso-American Gladiators - with a strategically placed joker in Round 8. HOWEVER, as the scores to the left show, it was a low-scoring night for all our teams last night ... even the nerdy ones. Is it just me, or are these quizzes getting harder?
Ninja Warriors magnificently recovered from their last place finish last week to take third place this week. I've never seen a team be so excited by a $10 certificate as they were. PLUS, they staged their picture with wine glasses. Staged pictures are the best.
Chiro Coffee came to the wine bar expecting to actually, you know, try some wines ... but got sucked into playing quiz instead. Sorry we're not sorry, y'all! They won my "favorite team" designation last night for always being the first to turn in their answer sheets and never asking for repeats of questions. THEY'RE HARDCORE. Last place, yes. But still hardcore.
All folks in the bar last night collectively decided that Halle Berry is really only famous because her boobs are prominently featured in her movies - rightfully so, because her boobs are AWESOME.
And that's as good a place as any to end this blog. Y'all come back now, ya hear?!
