By the seven we had ourselves a close quiz tonight. In a true George R. R. Martin tale tonight, our top two titans of quiz were so close that no television trope would belie their true destiny.

However, the would-be kingslayers fell short, allowing the resident champions, Juggernauts: Into Darkness, to continue their winning streak into the foreseeable future. With Uncle Touchy's Naked Puzzle Basement merely living up to second best.

Let this be a lesson to you. We've all got to step it a notch to overtake the Juggernauts. We all gave it the good ol' college try, but clearly we have to wake up much earlier, read far more of the printed word and interpret the classics in such a a way as to understand that which is to be.

In any case, thanks to Gracie's for another wonderful night, and we'll see you all next Tuesday under these same bright stars.

Hey everybody! Remember last night? If you do please let me know because I barely do!

I remember eating some delicious nachos and assisting in the tutelage of Quizmaster-in-training Derek. I remember having what I assume was fun along with everybody else, but after that I guess the security tapes will just have to tell the story.

According to the scores and my hazy memory, we had a lot of movement betwixt the first and final scoring breaks, with our favorite/least favorite team Juggerknockouts once again seizing the first place prize. Why must you be so knowledgeable and likable?!!!

Behind those supermen & superwomen we had some serious contenders for next tiers, with an increasingly bitter sounding Lick My Juggernuts and Ready or Not! tying for third place. Team Aizad, without their namesake, cinched second place by just two points!

Well, this recap has jogged my memory a bit, for better or worse, and I seem to remember you all warmly welcoming Derek into the fold and all around just having a great time as we avoided the one spring time storm I imagine we'll have before the sweltering heat of Utah summer kicks in.

Well, I'll see you all next week!

p.s. We're gonna be giving away some seriously cool prizes in the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned on the Gracie's facebook page for more info on that.

Dear everyone,

         Let me aks (sic) you a question: did you or did you not have a HOOT tonight? Well I'll tell you what I had... A HOOT! Typically I stick to PBR tall boys, but tonight I branched out to sorority girl shots: specifically the Creamsicle. God damn it's delicious and can get a weak boy like me over a very intense hangover hump. Maybe it's my tramp stamp (that I decided to show everyone tonight) that leads me to behave in a delightfully effeminate manner, irregardless (sic) I refuse to stop drinking those goddamned things.

Anywho, enough about me... let's talk about that quiz. The Juggernauts continued their seemingly endless hot streak. What can we do, as a collective unit, to stop them? I think we need to have a draft, where we cull from the herd and form a superteam, that exists solely to end their dominance. What do you guys say?

The colors round was dominated by everyone, the mashups threw most teams for a loop. The sooner or later dead actor round was hit or miss for everyone. The anagrams separated the men from the boys. Almost urrybody knew they herbs in round 5. Genies in round 6 was another anything goes round. The comic book audio round made or broke most teams. And round 8 of course was a pivotal round. Although the Juggz maintained their lead, teams 2 and 3 made a valiant effort with Jason Collins the first gay wizard going home with second, and Hung Like Tyrion sadly taking third, missing out on ultimate victory, not unlike their namesake.

As I said before, tonight was a hoot, I particularly enjoyed having my family quizzing in the midst and we also had many new faces which always brings a gleeful tear to my eye.

I can't wait for next week! See you then!
