regulars, business travelers and the 4 Amigas!

Thanks everyone for coming out for a great night of Trivia.  I really enjoy subbing for Colin at your location as it always brings good laughs and stories. 

Let's start with the 4 Amigas.  These 4 young gals are soon to be a force to be reckoned with.  On the right track on quite a few answers, but just not getting there ;-(.  Study up on your sports and old school music trivia and you'll be coming home with some fabulous prizes.  I'll talk to the main office about adding some fringe sports categories too.

A couple of groups of business travelers really had me on my toes.  The banker group had about 83 team members but couldn't quite make the podium.  Maybe a little less flirting and more time studying up would help Jodi.  The boys from Cheeseland did make it to prizeland.  Hope you all enjoy the Twins game today!  Anything is better than Brewers baseball and a guy sliding into a vat of beer.

That leaves the regulars.  3 teams held up the local flag en route to strong finishes atop the leader board.  Always a pleasure chatting with Lock -n- Load...even if you don't share your awesome chocolate treats.  Tied with them for 1st place honors was the one Poopskidkid, John H.  With a lil late round help from the recruited Staff we went to the tie-breaker system.  3rd place honors went to RamRod who just continued to stub their toe with 2nd guessing...always 1st instincts gentlemen.

Colin is back next week.  Until next time-Peace

It's On

 It was another stellar week of trivia at the Eagan Green Mill last Tuesday with the crew from Poopskidkid holding on to the crown for the second straight week. Ramrod was close on their heels and Lock and Load were also right in the mix. Here's how it all broke down.

1st- Poopskidkid 42 pts

2nd- Ramrod 40 pts

3rd- Lock and Load 35 pts

4th- Pullout Method 33 pts

 I'm out for this week so Duane will be keeping it real for me. I've already sent him my killer Colin's Favorite Movies Bonus Round, so if you have any issues with my taste in movies we can discuss it next week when I return. At which point I'll ridicule you for having horrible taste in films. I've written up ten descriptions of films I love, you need to figure out what they are. They're are a couple that if you get them wrong, Duane's under orders to hit you on the head with a tackhammer because you're an idiot.

 You're internet freebie is....Assisi. God bless you. That was by far the lamest thing I've ever put on here. Sorry.

 There will be no blog question for this week, I've already burdened Duane with enough of my renegade questions. You all be good for the sub, and maybe we can watch a movie next week instead of having class. I'll catch you all on the flip-flop. Peace.

Return of the Kings

 Yes folks, it's official. Poopskidkid is back with a vengeance. After several weeks hanging around the top three with perennial powerhouses Lock and Load and Ramrod taking home the title, the boys stormed back with a vicious 39 points this week to reclaim the crown. Lock and Load threwdown an impressive 32 point performance en route to second place, and Ramrod stumbled a bit on world geography and the wonderful world of Nic Cage flicks but still managed 29 points. Here's the recap.

1st- Poopskidkid 39 pts

2nd- Lock and Load 32 pts

3rd- Ramrod 29 pts

4th- 3 Amigas and Lindsay 26 pts

 I'm coming back with another addition of Colin's Favorite Movie Quotes for this weeks Bonus Round, so buckle up. Your free answer for the week is...12. No it is not a question about what age I stopped being afraid of clowns, I am still scared shitless of clowns, they're evil. 

 Your blog question of the week is who wrote the phenomenal memoir " A Man Without A Country "? Don't forget to check out the Internet only question on the homepage and I'll check you all at 9. Peace.

10 Billion Ants

 I'm still enjoying the two answers from our first place tiebreaker last week. The disparity between the answers was truly astounding, which is the main reason why I love the tiebreaker questions Chuck and Sean come up with. Team Rock and Roll took down defending champs Ramrod in that epic tiebreaker and fourth place was also decided tiebreaker style with Lock and Load taking down Parking Lot Freakout. Lets look at the recap to see who the meat was in this tasty trivia sandwich.

1st- Rock and Roll 39 pts

2nd- Ramrod 39 pts

3rd- Poopskidkid 34 pts

4th- Lock and Load 29 pts

 For the Bonus Round this week I'm feeling kind of basic, so it's gonna be World Capitals. I'll give you a capital city, you give me the country. Geography, catch the fever! I'm sure I'll get a letter from David Stern suing me for using the NBA's old ad slogan there, but to hell with him. 

 Your internet freebie for the week is... Mork and Mindy. It's not a question about the lamest premise for a TV show ever though.

 Until tomorrow I leave you with your blog question of the week. I need you to tell me the names of the two members of The Black Keys and also what city they hail from. Also, do yourself a favor and check them out if you don't know them. Don't sleep on the Internet Only Question and I'll check you all at 9. Peace.

Who wants a free answer?

 Yo, your free answer for the week is... Hyde. I've got no witty remarks or stories, sorry. Don't sleep on the Internet Only Question on the homepage, and I'm really stoked for my TV show Bonus Round. I'll catch you all at nine. Peace.
