So It Gozer

There was no stopping him. Not this Quizmaster. Other men may be deterred by a chilly wind and some difficulty finding parking, but not Jake.

Jake, the very picture of virile masculinity pulled open the massive stone doors of the Tavern and entered the hallowed halls of this fine establishment.

Once inside, Jake the Quizmaster ran his manly hands through his sandy blonde locks and combed out his manly beard. He scanned the room. Patrons stared at the mountain of a man. The men feared him. The women desired him. So did some of the men. He spat into the spittoon with a satisfying "PING!" and sauntered up to the bar.

"I'll have a Diet Coke. No ice," he growled. The sound of his voice alone got five women pregnant.

The Quizmaster unslung his bag from his strong, broad shoulders and got to work.

One by one, his opponents arrived, damp and haggard from the storm. Jake smiled at their weakness. This is going to be one easy quiz, he thought to himself as he flicked on his microphone.

Two hours later, the smoke cleared and Jake was washing the stains of battle from his Captain America sweatshirt.

Congrats to I'm Not A Rupublican But My Fetus Is for coming in first and having a timely name, especially in this turbulent time regarding a women's right to choose. Very sensitive, guys.

Big Ups to The Contained Eddies for second place!

Three third place cheers for I Love a Good Dirty Scrum for third place!

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!

WTF Just Happened Here?
I filled in for Jake and you all hated me for it. That’s okay, though, my ego isn’t THAT fragile. Jake will be back to entertain you after his murder trial is over or something.

We also had some ties (plural).

Shoutouts
My coworkers came out, but only Kendra wanted photographic evidence. I’m not really sure why. I don't suppose it has anything to do with their choice(s) of team names (Mary's Cherry, aka Cockblocked by God).

Groovy dude

Scores and Prizes
Nutty Patty had a lot of perfect rounds but decided to use their joker during an 8 point round instead of a 16 pointer which ultimately cost them the game (thanks to a lost tie-breaker). SVU Says Alex Gammons is a Sex Offender used a joker in Round 8 to steal the win (after winning he tie breaker).

The battle for third place came down to I Heart Fish Sticks and Jesus Loves Peyton, and I Heart Fish Sticks narrowly won their tie-breaker to leave Jesus Loves Peyton out of the money.

Alex won our email bonus prize.

Darwin Dolls and St. Paddy's swag

A Few Thoughts on Power

So It Gozer

Greetings, people of Earth!

Great quiz last night! There was beer, food and knowledge all rolled up in one great big sweaty ball of quiz rolling through Cambridge and it's name was YOU.

I had a great time talkin' bout Chicago, Big Dances, SCIENCE and whatnot. You all had a great time listening to me talk (I hope.)

I do have one note for all of you though: When the quiz is over and the standings are announced, let it be. PLEASE DON'T COME TO ME AND COMPLAIN/ARGUE/WHINE. You may think you've gotten more points than you did/came in first/whatever but I hate what is more or less the equivilent of "grade grubbing" and I'm not going to change the score for you. Besides, it's pretty pathetic to argue with somebody over a $10 gift certificate.

This is the last time I'm going to say it nicely: Don't fuck with the Quizmaster. He is infallable.

Congrats to Willy Wonka Clover Eater Means 42 for having a weird ass name and for coming in first!

Good job, Balls Deep! You came in second!

Decent try, March Sadness!

PEACE OUT!
