So we’ve had another light week here at the pub quiz, which I’m gonna blame on end of the semester craziness.  The pitfalls of a pub quiz in a college town, I guess.  Still, ya’ll are missing out on some fun times.  Check out this photo of our last place team, Kobayashi Maru, and the day old bread from Jimmy John’s they won for their efforts:

This is how to react to that:

Erotic!  Luckily, we didn’t have to resort to the suggested ‘limp biscuit’ contest for third place, I suspect that this sort of behavior is a lot less charming when it’s not being done with oversized bread penises.  Team Owesome, Sisquo’s One-Handed Cartwheel (which I think refers to Sisqo’s one-handed cartwheel), Phallic Baldwin, and Hobo Camp all had to guess what Roxy’s employee Jason had in its nastly little pocketses—I mean, guess how much money he had on him, price is right style.  The moral of the story?  Don’t underestimate the amount of cash you carry when you work at a bar. Team Owesome walked away with our third place prize, a box of limp biscuits fresh baked cookies.

(Try mousing over this one)

Oh, and That Team Over There won, while Everything’s Coming Up Milhouse took second.  Sound familiar?  That’s because they win all the time!  You can beat them, I’ve seen it.  You just need to bring your A games, though.  And your butts, they need to be in seats in order to beat people.  I want to get a wide variety of people drunk, but you need to do your part.  So hopefully I see you all with full teams next week!

I guess it’s that time of the year.  Finals season.  We had a somewhat precipitous drop in the number of teams this week, and I suspect that scholastic conflicts might have something to do with that.  Hell, even I am affected—I’ve got to write one of those finals our erstwhile quizzers seem to be so concerned with. So forgive me if I fail to wax quite so poetic as I normally do.  On a completely unrelated note, check out this dick demon thing:

Some quizzers appeared to be impressed by the national attention one that a previous drawing is getting, and wanted to make lightning strike twice.  We’ll see if this makes the cut for the main GWD Facebook page, but I don’t know if this is quite up to the same level as 1.21 Gigacocks, a true American masterpiece.

Beyond our inguinal artistic interests, we also happen to play a pub quiz.  You know who are pretty good at the pub quiz? That Team Over There and Everything’s Coming Up Milhouse!  Both teams are no strangers to the winner’s circle, and guess who were our first and second place winners (respectively)? Jurassic Parks & Recreation (my favorite team name of the week, and show I most want to see, by the way) are a bit newer to our little group, but have been making some big waves.  Last week they won the whole enchilada, but this week were only able to come away with the cheesiest prize ever offered by Roxy’s for third:

It appears that Milhouse & Jurassic were both foiled by the same round this week: the things on a Huntsman Swiss Army Knife.  Both teams had the lowest scores in the bar for this round.  I don’t really know if I have a point beyond that, but that’s a neat thing to know, right?

Oh and hey, check it out: Amino Disrespect picked up a bar shaker set for last place. Not bad.

I’ll see you all (and I mean you ALL) next week, right?

Oh man.  Last night I had prizes and prizes and prizes.  Let’s see--$30 bar tab for first, $20 bar tab for second, $30 in Coffee Zone gift cards for third, $30 in piercing discounts from Iron Tiger, 5 free drinks, and an email bonus prize.  Not too shabby. Y’all battled it out, too.

Dany’s Grey Worms took an early lead with a jokered 15 point round 2 and the only 16 point round 3 we had.  And yet—even that wasn’t enough to leave everybody else in the dust.  We had two teams tie for second place just one point behind Dany’s Grey Worms: Phallic Baldwin (my favorite team name for the night) and Rebbeka Black Sabbath.

I do have the shake weight for second place tiebreakers, but I still need to pick up a pedometer for it—the endurance challenge can just go on too long. So while that is missing, I decided to go with a classic second place tiebreaker, the Whiskey Whistle Challenge.  For those of you new to this one, it goes like this: A) take a shot of whiskey, B) eat 3 saltines, C) whistle. Sound easy?  Well let’s go to the replay:

That’s Phallic Baldwin edging out second place, by the way.  I do appreciate Rebbeka Black Sabbath’s attempt at a “hoo” fake whistle there, though.

And speaking of Rebbeka Black Sabbath, check out the dedication.  One busted leg:

Makes getting up the stairs at Roxy’s a challenge in itself:

Now I bet you feel like a big wuss for skipping out on that week you felt kinda sorta tired, huh?

On a content note, I was surprised how many of you knew about the sybian.  I kind of wish I could be in the middle of the teams for the discussion of this one.  Is there one person who knew it, yet had to volunteer that information?  Perhaps two people, whose eyes met across the table with the awkward shared knowledge of their pornographic preferences?  Good times.

I’ll see you all next week! (And anybody clicking in because of my blog title, notice that it's not false.  I never said it was video of the sybian... [tricksy hobbitses])
