We had a real throwdown this week with two of our weekly titans, Poopskidkid and Lock @ Load going head to head in an epic battle for the crown. Lock and Load took home the crown, with the crew from Poopskidkid coming in second, a mere one point behind. Here's the breakdown.

1st- Lock and Load 35 points

2nd- Poopskidkid 34 points

3rd- Emily 33 points

4th- The Natural State 32 points

Your free answer for the week is... sapphire. No, the question is not about the movie Precious. As for a Bonus Round, I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against The Machine this week, so it's gonna be a Famous Rebel/Revolutionaries Bonus Round so get ready to stick it to the man!

After a killer show at First Ave last night by the Gaslight Anthem, I want you guys to tell me what state those boys hail from for an extra point. Don't sleep on the internet only question on the Trivia mafia homepage and I'll see you all at 9. Peace.

The internet freebie for this week is... Blueberry muffins. Damn do I love blueberry muffins, I even love that Muffin Tops cereal Malt o' Meal makes. Since I just saw the phenomenal new film Inception this weekend, and am still blown away and tripped out by it, I need you guys to tell me what visionary director made this masterpiece for an extra point. Don't sleep on the internet only question on the Trivia Mafia homepage and I'll check you all at 9. Peace.

Yo, it was a slightly less busy, but equally exciting week of trivia last Tuesday. We had only four teams, but what quality teams they were. Lock and Load took home the gold, with Skip and Parking Lot Freakout following close behind. Here's the recap.

1st- Lock and Load 33 pts

2nd- Skip 29 pts

As you can see, everyone was a winner! Yea! Sorry, I was channeling my inner schoolgirl there. We were missing some of our kick-ass regulars last week, Poopskidkid and Fighting Mongooses I'm looking at you, but it was still a killer week. I'm feeling a Colin's Favorite Movie Characters Bonus Round this week. I'm gonna give you my ten favorite movie characters, you've gotta tell me who played them. I'll be back on Tuesday with your internet freebie. Until then, I've been rocking out to The Avett Brothers all day in honor of their killer set at the Basilica Block Party last night. For an extra point, tell the first names of the two Avett Brothers. Peace.

Hope everybody had as kick-ass a Fourth as I did rocking out to The Hold Steady at First Ave last night. Last week was another killer night with our most competitive night in a long time. We had a three way tie for second, third and fourth and some truly great scores thrown down in the process. Here's the recap.

1st- M Triple B 37 pts

2nd- Lock and Load 32 pts ( won tiebreaker )

3rd- Parking Lot Freakout 32 pts ( welcome back )

4th- Imagination Movers 32 pts

I had enough prizes this week to go a few spots deeper than normal, and Mike and Lindsay didn't have to have a 31 point showing go in vain. Thanks Sean for the extra swag this week! Tony from Fighting Mongooses also got in on the action with an impressive 30 point solo performance.

For this week I'm throwing down a Famous Albums of the '90s Bonus Round, and I'll be back tomorrow with your internet freebie.

Your Blog Music question of the Week is, What band were Hold Steady members Craig Finn and Tad Kubler in before The Hold Steady? Write your answer on the top of your sheet for an extra point. Make sure you scope out the Internet Only Question on the Trivia Mafia Homepage as well. Until tomorrow I say, Peace.

Hey all, I'm back from vacation and I'm ready to throwdown some killer questions once more this week. I dropped the ball on the blog from two weeks ago in which we had an epic two question tiebreaker between Poopskidkid and the Fighting Mongooses. They both threw down 38 pts en route to the tiebreaker. I also gotta say it pained me to tell Lock and Load that they took third with 37. A killer score guys. Here's the breakdown from two weeks ago.

1st- Poopskidkid 38 pts

2nd- Fighting Mongooses 38 pts

3rd- Lock and Load 37 pts

4th- Glazers 31 pts

Your free answer for this week June 29th, is... grass. So many directions this question could go, I'll let your minds wander. I'm thinking a Famous Americans Bonus Round is in order in honor of Independence Day coming up. Since I'm rocking out to Band of Horses right now, tell me the name of the lead singer/songwriter for an extra point this week. Make sure you check out the internet only question on the Trivia Mafia homepage as well.

Until tomorrow night, stay cool and in honor of our national Independence Day, stay free. Never stop sticking it to the Man. Peace.
