Who knew? I guess we should have taken a cue from that scene at the end of The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke is hanging off the tail of Cloud City, trying not to fall into that weird beige nothingness.
For real, that kinda sucks. In the grand scheme of things, our universe is probably a hallway in a hospital or something.
The Breakdown:
The Neepsters have been dethroned! Props to both of our prize winners tonight for bringing it hard as fuck: Dammit, Bears! and The Many Lovers of Rod Stewart. They finished the regulation quiz in a tie before tying the sudden death round as well, sending the quiz into TIEBREAKER QUESTION DOUBLE OVERTIME, only the second time I've seen such a phenomenon in my year of quizmasterbating. The Many Lovers of Rod Stewart were able to pull out the clever guesswork in determining the length (lemf) in yards of the world's longest rail tunnel, taking home the first place winningstuffs. Now you have to come back. Ha!
The Comic Relief:
The best comedy generators tonight were the final three rounds. The folklore round offered the World's Strongest Dads an opportunity to re-name Molly Pitcher Florence “All Wet” Nightingale. Those Dads also were certain that Will Smith's missing line in “The Pursuit of Happyness” was Welcome to the Wild Wild West. I don't remember it that way, but I'm inclined to agree with them all the same. The random knowledge round saw some creative guesses as to those actors from “Stand By Me,” including David Duchovny and Rick Moranis. Come on, now. Duchovny was busy chasing aliens and Moranis was busy making Spaceballs. Which I'm about to go watch right now.
PEACE!

The hell you will. He's got a three day head start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and country from here to the Sudan. He knows all the customs, speaks a dozen languages, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already.
But he still gets lost in his own museum.
Ah, the Indy questions are back. It's like that first sip of wine after watching a shitty movie across the desert. I might watch Raiders tonight. Fuck it. It's not like I'm hurting myself by watching it more than fifteen thousand times. Besides, you know what a cautious fellow I am.
The Breakdown:
The Neepsters do it again! For the turkey! They are now officially on a fucking roll. Come on, clowns, the race is on to dethrone.
The Comic Relief:
3rd best answer of the quiz came from Joe Bent Over the A-Town Floozies. On what TV show did somebody named Dean Winchester trade his soul for his brother's life? Best guess: “Deep Throat 7.”
2nd best answer, from the World's Greatest (and strongest) Dads. What's the french name of Doctors Without Borders? “Doctors Without Maginot Lines.”
And the best answer of the night award goes to Pants Tent. In Greek, 'philadelphia' translates to what 2-word English phrase? Of course it could only be “fly city.”
The Geekout:
The robots are coming to take our jobs. What are we going to do about it? Probably lie back and take it, whining and bitching all the while. But to save yourself, you can embark on several different obscure careers at once, remaining relatively unattached from all of them, just like me. It's only life, after all.
The Everything Else:
My friends, I bid ye a sad farewell. Tonight I embark on a quest, bold and dangerous. I seek not shelter, not sustenance, not comfort, nor love. I do not expect to return; I do not even hope to succeed. But it must be done. I must go—for the sake of all that is holy, I must go. I must leave the very structure of reality, travel outward of all that is, in all directions at once. Such as it must be—for I seek that which cannot be found, only named. Tonight I seek Dave Carroll.

The Breakdown:
Bed, Bath & Beyonce was the only team to use their joker in R2, so they led off a good 10 points ahead of the pack and thought they had it nailed. Alas, it was not to be. The Neepsters came back with a vengeance, jokering a 14-point R8 to cement their second win in as many weeks. Come back next time and go for the turkey.
The Comic Relief:
Apparently Dammit Bears! mistook the Texas Chainsaw Massacre for “Free Willy 7: Willy's Revenge on Randolph,” while the World's Strongest Dads thought Donald Fagen was the prime minister of Israel. The Prince of Zion can write some great songs.
The Geekout:
Ready for flying cars?
The Everything Else:
Go Bruins!
