How much mileage has that guy gotten out of shows in which he reveals the results of paternity tests?  I don't know which is the harsher indictment of society:  that he's done it dozens of times for ratings, or that there are enough deadbeats out there spreading their seed that there are enough guests to fill so many hours of programming.  Here's one of them:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR8Xl3aFizs

We talked further about fatherhood to commence tonight's quiz in our round "You're Not Even My Real Dad!"  Bruce Jenner, why didn't you finish on Kris's stomach?  Come on, guy, you're an elite athlete, you should know how to use equipment.  He doesn't come to mind when I listen to "Cat's in the Cradle," that's for sure.

In Round 6, we talked about "Special Roles," films in which performers played developmentally disabled characters.  As brilliant as "Forrest Gump" otherwise was, that might have been the worst fake orgasm in the history of cinema.  Come on, Sally Field, act like you like it.  The teams liked this round for sure...what is usually our most difficult theme round yielded a median score of 5.5.

Drone Strike on Bieber opened a huge early lead with a jokering and sweep of Round 2, but faltered late in the game and were caught by Slippery Kosher Pickle and Hot Cups for the rebates.  Rain?  So what!  Find some fun Memorial Day weekend activities, and we'll talk Sunday at 8!  No travel for me...I must wait one more week to finally visit Burlington for the first time this year.

30 teams in tonight's quiz!  Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight.  Had plenty of people who answered my standard "what have you been up to this week?" by telling me that they graduated from BU.  Step one in being a responsible adult is playing Geeks Who Drink.  Your six-figure debt and not eating Cap'n Crunch at 4:30 PM are secondary.

I wrote two of tonight's rounds.  Round 2 music tonight was on the theme "A Cardiologist's iPod," focusing on songs with titles that might imply heart ailments. "Listen To Your Heart" was widely identified by title, but many folks confused D.H.T's 2005 remake (done as a ballad and a dance track) with the Roxette original from 1989 that they actually heard.

My other submission was our Sooner or Later Round 3, in which players were tasked with naming cities based on an increasingly easy list of mass transit stops.  We didn't include Boston among the answers, but I'm curious as to how many players outside of Boston and Chicago guessed "Boston" when I read "Quincy" and "Sox-35th" for two points (those are Chicago stops.)  I also tried to force "Boston" as a two point guess by reading "Chestnut Hill" for another clue, but of course, nobody here was fooled.

AKA, having shipped in for the third time in four weeks, took the top prize this time after consecutive third place finishes.  But it took them a disqualification to get it, as Is That a Lance in Your Chainmail... outscored them by two points, but played with far more than the required six player maximum.  And those two were 14 points clear of the third place trio.  Little doubt about the best of this big bunch tonight.  We'll do it all again tomorrow at 8!

One of the first CD's in my home as a boy was the Eurythmics' greatest hits compilation.  My mother loves to tell the story of me dancing around in the womb to "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" when she was pregnant with me in 1983.  My appreciation of Annie Lennox is clearly a lifelong love.  

While my favorite was always "Missionary Man" (featuring a harmonica solo that would make John Popper cream his giant pants), another track on the album was their collaboration with Aretha Franklin, "Sisters Are Doing it For Themselves," a top 20 hit in 1985.  This also served as the theme for tonight's Round 5 visual handout, which required players to name TV shows based on pictured sister characters.  No, Tia and Tamara Mowry were not depicted here.  They must be busy doing...er...um...

We kicked off tonight's game with a fun gambit, entitled "Hold Onto Your Sluts!," in which we referenced eight popular movie quotes, then asked a question about a word that sounds similar to the last word in the quote.  "Go ahead, make my day." Maybe I'll do so by roasting you while standing among what gathering of fellow comedians?*

Round 2 music was on the theme Soundtrack for a Walkabout.  My man Darin from Waco presented for us eight songs by Australian artists.  Nicola the waitress from Australia wanted another Australian round, and Darin obliged. Unfortunately, the players did not oblige, as only four teams got at least half the artists and titles.

I should put out a bounty on Evil Giraffes.  They showed their brawn again tonight in a low-scoring affair, still stretching out a seven-point margin over the All-Star bunch of Slippery Kosher Pickle, who were clear of third by another 12 points.  Stay dry...we'll do the dirty again Wednesday at 8!
