Holy Moly!! 34 teams and we broke past the curtain barrier of the ballroom! I love three day weekend holidays, they've always been good to us. And you guys were certainly good to us too! Even with the finale of Breaking Bad on! Which by the way, did you see that? Wasn't it crazy when Flynn stabbed Jesse?! Oh, sorry to spoil that for you... Quiz!
I'm not really up on Star Trek; NextGen, but Data had a daughter?! Can androids cum? I mean I was guessing Gigolo Joe was just shooting blanks, 'cause who wants to mother a robot whore's baby... but Data? Huh. Also mind-boggling was how much The Doors sounded like Deelite (to everyone), and how miffed John was just to have to read their name. I dug that mash up of Scissor Sisters and Dolly Parton that created the gayest song ever! Well, if they throw in a verse from George Michael and Elton John, then it'd be a homomasterpiece.
There's a lotta Jokers out there, and a lotta you guys don't know them. Shazbot! You guys did well on Round Four and Five though! No one wrote “RAAANNDDDYYYY” for the Aziz Ansari question, I totally would've taken that too if you had worked a Z in there. Also, I've been told I should play Settlers of Catan, but it's just hard to block out 16 hours of gaming time. I'll just stick to my Farmville-esque Simpsons iPhone game I suppose.
We mentioned the adorable has been Mandy Moore and MacCokehead Culkin in our Fuck Labor Day Round, which made me really want to rewatch Saved, A Walk To Remember, and The Good Son all at once. Also, note to self: don't make swishy sword noises when talking about Caesarean sections. It freaks people out.
I liked the concept of our Minor Roles Video Round, but thought it could've been a little harder (that's what she said :-/ ). You guys were even able to recognize lil Donnie Darko before he got all heartthrobby! Where was the clip of Mat Damon in EuroTrip, or Matthew Fox in Smokin Aces, or Mel Gibson in Father's Day (just trust me)?
Once all the questions were done we held our 7th (?) semi-annual Highball's Got Talent show as judged by the Texas Roller Girls. We had the return of our iPhone Whistler, a Crying Baby Lady, a Monkey Woman, Femme Louis Armstrong, and a very bendy Nelly/Shakira hybrid. Many breeds of weird on stage. As well as a Roller Girl with her legs behind her head. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
Thanks so much for coming out tonight y'all! We'll be back at it again this Wednesday and then next Sunday, rinse and repeat, etc. etc. Hope to see ya then!
