Well here we are again. Last night's quiz had some enthusiastic moments, confusion on some of the simplier questions, split sqauds and a mystery woman that stopped put the game to a halt to ask me to explain how "the quiz" worked..before ultimately deciding that she was never going to play in the first place!

Sigh, but regardless of that last interuption that quiz was a typical down to the wire battle . With Consistently Inconsistent edging out Unplanned Parenthood by a score of 79-75 to earn first place honors for ...like the 50 time, am I right guys?

Bahcardee Fahts and Swatpants Boners, as hilarious as your names are..your scores. Lets just say I'm not mad, just disapointed. Nah I'm just fuckin with you kids! Good scores all around I say!

Notes:

- One of my favorite things is when after fulling explaining the rule of "no shouting out answers" some drunk asshole in round one always manages to disobey that rule. This time he even asked his buddy at his table as to what the question was thought about it and then shouted out "YAHOO!" as I was in the midst of repeating the question. I put him down a peg a second later but when you're not a part of the game even???? Come on dude!

- I appreciate when teams are easy going when they have a group larger than six and split without bitching or complaining.

- Weird shit happening in the visual round as all teams got a 6 out of 8 with all teams getting the same two answers incorrect..ooooooooohhh!

- Was round eight a subtle round about poo? If it was, it was my favorite round ever!

- Schindler's List... Boys N' The Hood...same thing right?

- I decided to include the team that didn't plays score because I believe I took enough time to slow the game to a crawl to explain the rules to the drunk broad that repeatedly shouted at me "I THOUGHT IT WAS KARAOKE NIGHT!!!??" Congrats on the zero points. 

Til next time!

Today was a shitty day for the city of Seattle to say the least. The NBA decided for the second time since 2008 to make sure we were screwed out of having a team. My theory is that this affected the city so greatly as a whole that it caused the participation of quizzers to drop significantly, and with Oklahoma City on TV during the quiz, fuuuuuuck! The NBA couldn't rub it in anymore! But hey the quiz must go on and despite the city wide depression it did at the Marco Polo.

Sweatpants Boners, a team that usually shows up as Drawing Blanks, showed up with a six person team this week and lead front start-to-finish. Catapulted by a 30 point round two they coasted to an impressive 78 points!

What Makes You Think I Won't Cut You? with just one team member did quite well with a solid 2nd place finish 73 points. Have to admit that the team name kinda creepy...and I don't really advocate personal harm...well unless its to that cock David Stern. Then it's OK. 

Notes: 

Getting people to play for FREE beer this week was like pulling teeth Sheesh people FREE!!!

Moby...whatever happened to that guy? Goddamn sellout!

"Remember Alf? Well he's back..in pog Form!" - Milhouse (pertaining to round 6 answer)

Denholm Elliot is dead but Peter O'Toole isn't?!? Why????

Sweatpants Boners..there were six of you, and I'm guessing by your answers that none of you have even heard of the game Operation?  (Arm? Leg?) You poor depraved people!

Well that's about all the energy I have for this week, til' next time!

In the eight months since we've been quizin' at the Marco Polo, not once have we ever and I mean EVER had a tie for first place.... this was until last night.

The entire quiz up until the final round seemed fairly uneventful. No real craziness, solid teams and thanks to my Rhapsody membership I was able to easily play Kokomo and We Didn't Start The Fire during the final scoring break of the evening much to the "delight" of all of my teams. ..but then Bonus Town used their joker for a 24 point final round to tie Love Burst..who themselves had decided to use their joker for 30 points in round two...at 69(lol) for first place! Holy balls!

So naturally we had to have a tiebreaker. I had the two squads pick a representative and then I asked the tiebreaker question, "in what year was carnagie hall completed?" Bonus Town was just 9 years off with their guess, with Love Burst being 18 years off and thusly we had ourselves a winner! What a game folks!!

Notes: 

- Thanks Jenny, for the additional final tiebreaker pic. As you can see I definitely used it!

- "the guy from King of Queens" is not an acceptable answer...for anything!

- Yeah I'm not going to purchase Taco Bells bottled sauce anytime soon. I'm sure my bowel's will thank me.

- Happy Endings, it would be pretty ironic if we used sound clips from your Home Made Porno and its sequel! How would GWD even get access to those??

- Those mormon's at BYU sure know how to party!!! 

- To the email prize winner. Luckily this week you were the one answer that didn't write your name down and luckily I knew who everyone else was. Next time write your name down. It'll make my life easier.

Til' next week!
