So last night we had 21 teams at Mister Tramps! That's fantastic and I had a great time! I looked around the bar at 7:30 and every seat in the dining room was taken. It was amusing watching you all arrive and run to your coveted table. One team who arrived around 7:10 hurdled over and around chairs to reach the booth in the corner, and they yelped in victory when they arrived. Congratulations, guys.
We tried out something new last night with Round 5. We think we've been handing it out too early (before the quiz starts). Since we've had a few instances of new teams using their phones on this part of the quiz, and we can't see all areas of Mister Tramps easily, we thought we'd experiment. So, we gave you Round 5 right before Round 4 started, and you had until the end of Round 6 to turn it in. I think it went pretty well! But next time we'll have you turn in the answers at the end of Round 4 instead. We'll try it out, see what happens. Of course I would give extra time, just like last night. Next time we will also make sure we have more than enough. It worked out, but only because the bartenders didn't play Round 5. What did you think? Leave a comment!
Round 2 last night did not do many of you any favors. We had some really low scores for that round. The 2-person team that scored 14 points and wisely used their Joker ended up scoring 1st place last night! They were shocked that you guys did so poorly. Also, they wanted me to reiterate that they were a 2-person team. Good job, My Other Car is Also a Giant Penis. 2nd place went to the Strawberry Shortcake Stag Film feat. Justin Bieber, otherwise known as Gwen and Phil and Chelsea's Dad. 3rd place was won by Fuck You Robot. Welcome back! It's nice to see you two again.
Oh, and thanks for not ridiculing me about pronunciation last night! I always have everything spelled out phonetically because Chelsea and I review the quiz carefully the night before. But even then, sometimes I can't get the right pronunciation. Most of you already know this, and I appreciate it.
Did you notice I wore my Spongebob Squarepants T-shirt last night? You may not remember, but I promised last week that I would. I love him.
Ok, so you should take the player survey. Seriously. We gotta know what you think!

Oh geez. Most of you don't know this, but I was yelled at last night. Like really yelled at. It was before the quiz, and it left me feeling like a rock was in my stomach and I was going to be grounded. That's not a joke. I really wanted to call my dad and explain myself. Wanna know what happened?
It was before quiz, around 30 minutes before we start. Every week at this time I switch the sound over to my playlist/mic. Every. Week. 7:30. So I go into the back room to switch it over, and the basketball game is blaring in there and the game is up on the crazy big projector screen. There is ONE person in there, sitting right in front of this massive screen with his beer. Anyway, I go to ask Mr. Eric, King of Awesome, what I should do - there were already 2 teams sitting in that room waiting. Eric told me to talk to him, which I really hate. I'm not an employee, and if the person gets upset then I have to run off like a little bitch and get a REAL employee.
So I go up to this man and explain that the sound will be turned off. He starts YELLING at me. Seriously yelling. "You're not turning this off! I'm watching this!" I explained again that he could watch the game all night, but the sound would be turned off. That was met with "You do and I'm never coming back here again!"
So I hold back my tears and run to tell Eric. He sends Brent over and the guy throws a scene with Brent and stomps out of there. What a jackass... but also he made me feel sad. People like that are the reason that we should be nice to everyone. He probably feels cheated by life and just needs a hug. And I know I ruined his night. But really, he ruined his own night. <sigh>
Once that man was out of the bar (and my life), the night turned into a very fun, relaxed, and funny quiz. You are always so awesome! It's so quiet when I start talking, and that's really nice of you. You treat us like rock stars and we love you for it. That crotchety old man doesn't know what he was missing. And I don't think we'll miss him at the Tramp. Oh, and by the way, mad props to Ted Danson's Skill, who witnessed the old man's tantrum and changed their name to I'm Never Coming Back Here Again!, which you all found hilarious even though you didn't know the story. Thanks for the support, guys.
Oh, and sorry I couldn't ask the question about Spongebob Squarepants. I think I finally uttered it through my giggles, but Spongebob is just so funny! I love him and I will wear my Spongebob t-shirt next week, as promised.
Now don't forget to "Like" or Tweet this blog. BossMan says no one's reading. That's not true is it?!
Til next week, xoxo Evelyn & Chelsea

Last night, 20 teams strong, Mr. Tramp himself told me that there is plenty of room for more teams. He said they can put chairs out in the parking lot, and I believe him. Even last night we could have fit a few more teams inside, and there was room for 8-10 more teams outside. As the weather gets nicer, I hope more of you will explore the patio. The speakers are great, and Mr. and Mrs. Tramp will stop by to make sure you are having a nice time, and that you don't have any needs not being met by the stellar staff.
Enough pandering - let's get down to it.
Last night we had a Dance-off - the first in a long, long time. Actually, since I've been hosting at Mister Tramps I don't think we've had a dance-off; but I did WIN one when I played there as a quizzer. Anyway, it was up between Abortions For Some, Tiny American Flags For Others and Cowboy Gyno: Dual-purpose Stirrups. QM to the masses Joshuay took the stage and danced up something fierce. The little lady that went up against him got down and dirty with some pop-n-lock and made you all scream for more. When I asked for your vote, we had to do it twice because it was so close. But in the end, the ruling stood that the Cowboy Gyno would go home $10 richer.
We had a separate tie for 1st place! First place ties are always decided by a Sudden Death round, which is 5 super challenging questions in rapid-fire style. Do Me battled it out against Entry Error and it was close... but only Entry Error got the final question, so 1st place went to them. Do Me ended in a respectable 2nd place.
It was a great night, and a perfect start to what I think will be a very fantastic February. xoxo, Evelyn & Chelsea
