This is the first night that included two, count 'em, TWO arm wrestling showdowns to handle disputes. This is the way I wanna handle everything from now on. No more "Oh, well, I think you guys should split into another team, or I'm gonna come over there" bullshit, the next time somebody calls 'Shenanigans!' on a team or there's a discrepancy about an answer. No. You fucking arm wrestle it out. That's it, that's how we do it down in Catacombs. For reals.
I swear, though, we're only a hair's breadth from somebody punching someone in the face. And that quiz night is gonna be AWESOME!!!
Here're the action packed photos from the two trivia-arm-wrestling face-offs of the night. Both of which involved BK.
Face-off #1: A bonus question face-off.
Face-off #2: Another bonus question fight, and Kardon goes down.
Another night with the scores determined in the last round....LAST GODDAMN ROUND...because of a slide ahead of jokers. Congratulations to our winners Acute Penguinitis, but a fantastic high-five to Project Awesome, a two-person team that held the top spot all-night long, and came in only second-place, because of the last slide up with round 8. Sometimes it falls that way folks. Let's see the rest of the scores.
Acute Penguinitis 69 Project Awesome 67 Taint Misbehavin' 66 Horny Horny Hippos 63 Estaban de la Sex-Face 62 Sweater Vests 52 Fuck the NCAA Tournament 44 Beer Bellies 39 F9 29 Mega Smegma 10
Last place seat went to the effervescent and fighting F9, and yes, by looking at the above scores, you'd think that Mega Smegma would have won. What?! But I'm throwing down a cut-off for "official" entry into the game beyond round 6. You can still play and compete for bonus questions, but the official "last place" rank goes to those that jump in earlier in the game. F9 jumped in round 3, and held their own. Hence...the round of booze. Check it.
Newbie fellows take the last place in full fashion. Watch out!
Top slot for the night went to the assimilated team Acute Penguinitis that merged with another team as the night progressed and harnessed the awesome power of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Heart. They've also taken the last two weeks under different names. So, quiz players, either you need to form your own kind of assimilated triumvirate...or steal their magic eco-rings. Steal them.
Almost like the cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Lastly, allow me to remind everyone that starting next week at 8 p.m. and continuing thru the start of the quiz to 10 p.m., The Onion will be sponsoring free pints of Full Sail Amber, and handing them out for two straight hours...or until the kegs are gone. So come to get boozed up...then stay for the quiz. I'll see you then. And allow me also to mention that this week had two other firsts: 1.) the first week where there wasn't one team name that was so long it didn't fit into my excel spreadsheet or the website, and 2.) there wasn't any quiz answers about my mom. Try and bring that last one back next week. She's feeling a little left out.
I'll close with the immortal words of what I'm listening to right now.
Thank you, Def Leppard.
