January 24, Bloomington Don't Scare

It's the tail end of January, it feels like March and Bloomington felt like a nightclub with all that jamming going down. Big time trivia games and a couple surprise winners. Also, some folks misinterpreted the Pi question as a Pie question. I guess it wasn't their cup of tee, butt its EZ 2 con fuse words with no spelling guyde. The scores were strong, some brains in Boomington.

1st Place, a new team - Johnny Chimps. They were killing it. And a great attitude, but you knew that already, they are from Duluth. That's a super cool city. 39 points!

How bout my Cedric crew! 38 points. Just one point away from respectable, just the way they like it.

And the Mortified Bunnies held it down for third. (So did MN Fan, but I didn't get a picture from them. How did that happen???). Mortified Bunnies still did great with that tie breaker though!

Allright Bloomaton. I love ya'll see you next week, game is on. 

no static at all! smooth sailing in Bloomington

After last week's question fiasco I was glad to just survive. And survive we did. Plus MN FAN annihilated the competition, was a beautiful thing to see. We'll start from 3rd place tonight to switch things up!

My dudes NACL were back in full effect (with a visiting partner from Idaho). They scored 37 points, which is a nice take!

Rocking it out in second place is team Androjata. 39 points and a good look on making sure they got all their points. This is a team to watch. 

And rocking 1st place with a vengeance was the success crazed MN MN FAN FAN!!! Killing it. 44 points!

We will see you next week good homies!

Trivia Throwdown - Technical Difficulties Brought to You By Sean

Allright Team,

It was a night of snafus and snags but you guys still powered through on our hybrid family of awesome questions and powered through. And I challenge Kathleen Turner Overdrive to come back and make a run of it again. Let's see if you can match that intensity on WK 2. But as it was, it was a wild night, a night we can be proud of, and we are ready to rock yet again. Party people, let's do it all over again. It's Bloomington, it's warm out, it's a party!

First Place - Team Yellow

You can't count these guys out. WIth 42 points they are the powerhouse you wish you were. They play Scrabble more often than you breathe. So it's game on with them. Watch out.

Holding down second place was the aforementioned 2nd place team Kathleen Turner Overdrive. Come back team, let's see you pull down these numbers next week. Challenge accepted? 40 points!

And rocking out on 3rd place my good homies was of course Team No Broomball. 39 points. And we all know they are called Cedric, they are just mad about the warm weather! The warm weather? Get effing serious! It's out of control great, stop challenging mother nature! Let's keep it warm. Game the f on.

See you next week my awesome brothers and sisters!

12/20/11 - A Tie For First! What's the Odds

Well, it was a sporting Pre-Christmas romp through Trivia Island. And those folks who made their way out were rewarded with the joy of a great night of trivia. And a fat tiebreaker at that.

Both MN FAN and Team Yellow had 41 points. They both guessed correctly that Bon Jovi was born in 1962. So it came down to Abe Vigoda's first incorrect death announcement. That came at 1982 and Team Yellow got a little closer. So they rock the first place.

MN Fan still gets a big bravo for their awesome tie work!

Foxy Roxy wasn't far behind holding down third with 38 points! Well done ladies!

A Friendly Middle Finger from a lovely Bloomington Regular!

Well Bloomington, I had a nice night. And I love Ben from Cedric, and he loved giving me the finger when I explained that we were looking for the first person born in the 20th century to become president, not the first president to be born in the 20th century. Deep? Yes I know.

Let's go the Tape!

And now, let's take a look at our winners (not whiners, who we just covered!)

1st Place - MN FAN - 43 points and a wrong IOQ answer to boot!

2nd place, cedric. yes, the man that complained, ben, he came from a placing team. Pass the irony!

3rd Place. . .Foxy Roxy! Bravo! 41 points, but lost that tiebreaker!
