It is with much regret that I must start off this week’s blog with an apology, specifically to Team Hader Lover.  Apparently I had another brain fart and, when I looked at my scores spreadsheet this morning, there was one little R8 score that was empty.  Yup, theirs.  Like a dummy, I threw away all the answer sheets, so I couldn’t tell right away what their score was (sometimes I save them if I intend on re-using them as scratch paper, but I have so many old answer sheets already...).  However, I was able to get in contact with a couple of that team’s members, Corri and Kyo, we went over R8 and their answers and, with that, we have adjusted scores and rankings.  Thankfully, they’re really cool peeps, have excellent sportsmanship and are letting this one slide.  However, I wouldn’t blame them if they draw and quarter me on the next one.  I guess the key would be not to fuck up anymore, right?  Ummmm... no promises.

Here’s the recap!

Round 1: Recently in Stuff – You guys were so cute, trying to write out “How I Met Your Mother...”

Round 2: Your Cardiologist’s iPod – Extreme had another song...?

Round 3: Sooner or Later: Next Stop Wherever – “MONORAIL!!!”

Round 4: Screw Your “I Before E” – Team Lamentations of Their Women had a couple of funny answers for this round: the movie with Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller and Matthew Broderick wasn’t “Dr. Doolittle’s Revenge,” and the Australian soap that gave us Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce and Natalie Imbruglia was not “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant.”

Round 5: Boogie Knights – Pretty damn good scores overall on this round, kids.  Y’all got medieval on my ass...

Round 6: Huh Huh, You Said “Oral Tradition” – Man, I actually used to watch “America’s Funniest People.”  I think it was on right after “America’s Funniest Home Videos.”  Yeah, I was WAY into “Full House,” too, so that explains it, I think.

Round 7: (Video Round) Don’t Be So Fucking Literal – I may have overhyped this round just a tad...  WHATEVER!!!  I still thought it was hilarious!  You guys just don’t GET it, man...

Round 8: Random Knowledge – Team The Wet Bandits wrote “Shaft” on a few different spots in this round, and the aforementioned Team Lamentations... seemed to think that “Uncle Phil” and “Django” were two of the Huxtable kids.  Awesome.

Winners’ Circle – Yeah, there was a big ol’ snafu this week but the rankings below are actually what they should have been last night.  One more apology to the affected parties...

Third place: Team Arrested Development’s Return Is Just Like Jesus’ Resurrection, Only It’s Actually Happening – OOOOOO... total burn!

Second place: Team Hader Lover – I’ll totally buy youse guys a beer next week...

First place: Team Quirky Questions Quorum of Quaint Quaffing Quizzers – I have never used my pinky so much.  To type out the team name, you gutterminds!  SHEESH!

Team name bonus point went to Team Oklahoma Too Sooners?  Understandably, it was a little controversial but, to their credit, it was asked in the form of a question so they’re not sure themselves.  I took that to mean they were open to criticism... and, boy, did they get it!  Anyway, to show you that I’m not completely heartless, I’ll go donate some blood to the ARC this week, okay?

Your email bonus question winner this week was... Bluetooth Scott!  He got himself some Roller Derby Girl candy Cigarettes.  Just what you need to get you pumped up for that tourney coming up...

These links have never made a gross omission like the one I made, so you should totally click them!

Sayonara for this week, kids!  Thanks for coming out, and thanks to everyone at Nelly’s!  Justin was happy that I had at least seen “Weird Science.”  Geez, man, I’m not THAT out of... Uhhhh... check that.  Yes, I am.  Until next week, folks...

CHEERS!!!

Welcome back to quiz, everyone!  So much jocularity last night, despite my tendencies to stumble over my words and ramble on.  We all know we do this; that’s me.  We eventually get through the quiz though, don’t we?  That should be enough for you!  Anyway, let me give you two very good examples of the juxtaposition above.  Too much?  Chris Brown-Rihanna jokes, perhaps.  However... they still make me laugh, which is why Team Went to the Music Store to Buy Chris Brown’s Greatest Hits, They Sold Me a Rihanna Album got the team name bonus point.  Not enough?  The game of Operation in our lives.  I think the best anyone did on the final question of R8 was two out of the four possible answers.  Team See? Even the IRS Hates Those Teabaggers even thought that “boner” was maybe one of the 100-point body parts.  As I like to say, it is not... but it should be!

Here’s the recap!

Round 1: Duh! – “I don’t always play quiz but, when I do, I prefer ‘Geeks Who Drink...  Stay geeky, my friends.”  Dude’s not even Latino; that voice is dubbed.  Damn shame, if you ask me.  And I don’t care that you didn’t ask me!

Round 2: Howl at the Moon – Oh, Shakira.  I feel like I could put you in a pet carrier and just take you wherever I go.  If only...

Round 3: Real Subreddit or Some Shit We Made Up? – Hey, look, if you want to buy me things off of my Amazon wish list, all you have to do is let me know!

Round 4: Ride that Fence – I’m about to start watching “Game of Thrones” with a friend.  Apparently, I won’t be very popular among my particular group of quizzers though...

Round 5: Turn Around, Bright Eyes – I never realized just how many subjects of movie posters refuse to look us in the eye.  And the thing is we could probably come up with a lot more examples.

Round 6: The Satanic Versus – “Remember Alf?  He’s BACK... in POG form!”

Round 7: (Video Round) Speed Art 2 – Even drawings of Taylor Swift look smug!

Round 8: Random Knowledge – Poor Peter O’Toole.  Will he win an Oscar before he dies?  Methinks not.  And I mean a legitimate Oscar, not that honorary bullshit...

Winners’ Circle – When you’re hot, you’re hot; the team that nabbed first place at the beginning of the night ended up with it too.  Not so much for third, though.  Here are your winners!

Third place: Team Went to the Music Store... – “Rihanna... -anna, -anna, -anna...”

Second place: Team Team Teeming With Team – I hope you weren’t expecting me to put an extra “Team” in front of that team name; I refuse!  ;)

First place: Team Generic Unimaginative Name – Good thing you guys are better at actually answering the question than coming up with good team names...

Your email bonus question winner this week was... Bryson!  He got some high-quality, cork-backed cowgirl coasters!  You guys should bring those in from now on and use them during quiz...

These links are made of cheese puffs too...

Make sure you follow us everywhere; you want to be on the right side once our plan for world domination is accomplished.  Thanks again, quizzers, and thanks to the folks at Nelly’s!  I’ll at least have one “GoT” buddy there, right, Janet?  ;)  Until next week, folks...

CHEERS!!!

FTS!  I ain't soh-ree, eh!  Look, I get it; most of you don’t like sports at all, let alone one as low on the totem pole as professional ice hockey but I gotta shout out my Anaheim Ducks.  Admittedly, I started following them (and hockey in general) mostly because, as a teenager, I didn’t know anyone else that did and I felt it would satisfy the burning need in me to set me apart and make me “unique.”  However, at this point, it’s a pretty strong addiction, one I feel will never be quelled and will probably affect other areas of my life.  I may need help, guys.  Anyway, information about last night’s game seeped into quiz a couple of times and, to those of you who couldn’t care less, which was most of you, I apologize.  BTW, please note that it’s “couldn’t care less,” guys, not “could care less;” if you “could care less,” you still care.  Think about it.  Onward and upward towards the recap!

Round 1: Dial “M” for Manboobs – “His name is Robert Paulson...”

Round 2: Captain Planet’s iPod – Vanessa.  Williams.

Round 3: All the News That’s Fit to Post – I got the sense that many of you were angry at yourselves for not coming up with some of the more seemingly obvious answers: Google News, Yahoo! News, etc.  Don’t beat yourselves up too much about it, though...

Round 4: United Whatevers of Wherever – “Why so Syria...?”  That was good stuff.

Round 5: When Diarrhea Can’t Wait for You to Leave the House – I’ve never had White Castle.  Thoughts?

Round 6: Why Can’t We Be Friends? – I want to be part of the Vermillion Army.  Sign me up, Charlie!

Round 7: (Video Round) In the Future, Everyone Will Be Andy Warhol for 15 Minutes – Team The Better Half, in lieu of knowing “Basquiat,” wrote down “Wham!  The Musical!”  Now, that’s one that I would watch...

Round 8: Random Knowledge – “Kriss Kross’ll make you... JUMP!!!  JU... Aw, not so much...”

Winners’ Circle – So the standings were a little freaky tonight; at one point, there was a three-way tie for first, and heading into the last round there was another tie, although I can’t remember between whom.  Anyway, it all got sorted out with Random Knowledge, so let’s shower our overachievers with accolades, shall we?

Third place: Team If You Can’t Curium, Barium – I liked that.  And they duly got the team-name bonus point.  Well done, kids.

Second place: Team The Existential High Five – Howie Mandel is probably one of the people who would love that.

First place: Team Dela-Fabulous! - *snap snap*

Your email bonus question winner this week was... Mike Giffin!  He got himself a Dirty Girl notepad.  I’d better see you with it next week!  It’s perfect for jotting down ideas for quiz answers... or for all those guys’ phone numbers.  ;)

These links got suspended for two games for a wicked elbow to the head:

Thanks again for coming out to quiz, guys, and for putting up with my hockey shenanigans, eh?  Although, all things considered, it really wasn’t that bad.  And a big shout-out to Megan for obliging me and putting up the last few minutes of the game up on my screen; I got to see the game-winner thanks to her!  And, lastly, fuck Justin for getting in the way of my pictures...  :D  Until next week, LET’S GO, DUCKS and...

CHEERS!!!
