Despite the Grammy's and the biting cold, we had a pretty fun and laid back night at Freehouse last night. As I said then, it was a night of honesty. I admitted I'd never seen Caddyshack, that I despite the "acting" of Jack Black and Michael Cera, and that I think David Beckham is a GD dreamboat. I keep it real, Freehouse. I keep it real.
Round Butt started off fairly asinine (ha!), but must of you were ready for this jelly. Scores weren't terrible, but they sure as hell weren't asstronomical.
The Fry Cook is Doing Whippets- 70s Man Music had you guys literally split down the middle. Either you guys rocked that shit or sucked it hard. Very impressive scores, as well as the use of early jokers for the four teams who had the cojones enough to take this round.
Islands in the Stream took you all down a peg. Or five. The best score was a four. Pick up a damn Atlas every now and then.
It's in the Hole - A Caddyshack Round was a downright clusterfuck. I no longer feel marginally ashamed for never having seen that film.
I was very proud of your sidekick knowledge for round five, but Bea Arthur's Asshole rose from the grave to pucker out a PERFECT score. Thank you for being a friend.
I now know where your quiz knowledge lies, however- following the depraved, dysfunctional, and downright delightful lives of celebrities. This round proved a strength for nearly everyone. Though none of you correctly identified Chris Fonseca as the comedian with cerebral palsy, I almost accepted the (multiple) answers of "Dane Cook." Bravo, Freehouse. I don't like that asscracker, either.
Mostly Mediocre Comedies had nothing on you guys. We had three perfect scores, with most of the rest of you unable to identify Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. If it hadn't been for the bat shit crazy rantings of my future husband NPH, I probably wouldn't have gotten it, either.
Round Eight was, as always, a major game changer. Two teams had jokers left, and they were appropriately saved. I'm VERY proud of your correct answers for the first three Harry Potter books, and I'm mildly disturbed by how many of you may have been afflicted with Plantar's warts at some point. Most of you kind of got Jaws: The Revenge/ We were lenient with answers, but not so far as to include The Jawshank Redemption. Funny, Bea Arthur's Asshole, but ultimately wrong.
As round eight came and went and the dust settled on the scores... it was revealed that we had a two-way tie for first. While there was a dance-off request, I have to leave the decision to first on your actual knowledge... not your perceived dance skills. Sudden Death was a toughie, but Bea Arthur's Asshole came out on top of The Buttermans... but only with a score of 2. By the skin of your teeth, bitches.
Scores:
Bea Arthur's Asshole 70* The Buttermans 70 Bulletproof Snuggie 69 C-Span Redux 64 Machete Squad 64 The Winners 60 Stuffed Crust Babies 59 Electric Boobaloo 56 Mr. Roper's Dopers 35
It was a really relaxed night with a surprisingly close point spread, and you guys were just downright awesome. Claire and I definitely had a blast getting you through tonight's quiz. And I gotta say... the staff at Freehouse rocks my effing socks. I dunno our server's name, but he was damn adorable and kept us smiling all night long.
Not like that, you dirty ass bitches. He kept my damn water glass full. Yeesh.
Thanks again, and see you next Sunday! Yes... I will be quizzing on Super Bowl Sunday. I would say that my being gay is excuse enough to have no interest in football, but the fact of the matter is I could see guys running at each other and wrastling in the mud without clothes on and be infinitely more interested.
-Your friendly neighborhood quizmaster,
Josh
