Great night. Great names. I love my players, but this blog crashed once and I lost all the cool, wonderful things I wrote. It's midnight and my alarm rings in less than six hours. This is blog lite.
Enjoy the pix.

After a fortnight away, Pub Quiz has returned to Christian's Heights. It was a quiet, douche bag free night. A good time was had by all.
R1: We paid tribute to Adam Yauch, Avengers, Obama's getting right on gay marriage, and Howard Stern.
R2: Y'all did well with Michael Franti, Rihanna, P!nik, Missy, but we lost it with Flight of the Conchords.
R3: It was a good round until we started asking about one-eyed royals (not a penis, apparently,) and tarot cards.
R4: Y'all know about ramming. Good job.
R5: It's roux, not rue. Many of you confused hollandaise with meringue. And it was caramel, not frosting.
R6: If there had been more pot questions, scores would've been higher. Get it?!? I took pride in the fact that most of you did not remember Buddy Guy.
R7: You know a lot about crazy mamas. Great video round.
R8: Random knowledge. The Centipede bugs were hard to name. I never got that far. A swan baby is a Cygnet. Y'all did know a lot about expensive water. It's free from my faucet at home. Just sayin'.
Great night.
Congrats to Kirsten, who won the email bonus question and tickets to see Princess Leia, I mean the former Mrs. Paul Simon, I mean Debbie Reynold's daughter....

R1 on pot and pots. Colonel Angus, Domestic Longnecks, and the Whalers all got perfect scores despite a lack of short term memory.
R2 was "more" songs. Only the Whalers got to double digits. Everyone knew the song from Sex and the City, but nobody remembers the artist. I forgot it already, but I got high. And I totally understand the teams that confused Boston and Kansas. I thought they were the same band, too. Oh, and everyone needs to get Roxy Music's Avalon, the album with More Than This.
R3 was a speed round on Summer Olympic events T-Z. Vault and uneven bars did not count. Neither did track and field. They are called Athletics.
R4 mixed WWF wrestling and WWF wildlife preservation. Several teams rocked this one, but they spend too much time and money on pay-per-view. This came to haunt them in R6.
R5 was mermaid movies. The Cher flick was not "Fuck You: The Movie." That's gonna be my autobiographical film. Dick Clark rocked all 8.
R6 is where y'all shit the bed. High score was 3. Congrats Whalers. I thought this was a fun round naming famous paintings. I did like Col. Angus' ideal that the guy who painted the man in the bowler hat with an apple for a face was Steve Jobs, not Rene Magritte.
R7 was a double or nothing on teacher films. A couple 12, five jokers, this high scorer helped soothe the wounds left by R6. I was impressed by the number of teams that got Ryan Gosling in Half Nelson, but nobody got Blackboard Jungle. Get on the netflix!
R8 was the indominable random knowlege. Not a single team member spoke German, so nobody got the Blaue Reiter question. Stalin was not a president of Russia, and there was no Independence Day version of Angry Birds. Good job on the math question, tho!
Bis zum nächste Woche.
OH, and there will be no quiz at Christian's Heights on May 3. The bar had a previously scheduled charity bingo game. I'll miss you. Mean it!
