February 2: The Return of the Trivia Blog

Welcome back to the blog everyone! I apologize for the hiatus from posting the winners, but I am going to make sure the most recent winners will be uploaded from now on and I will work on posting the winners of previous nights.  I hope you enjoy...

This night's winning scores were very close with three powerhouse teams getting some good scores.  The winning team won by only one point to both the 2nd and 3rd place teams who had tied.  Deep Throat ended up with 46 points which was just enough to win.  

As I said before, the 2nd and 3rd place teams tied with 45 points.  Camel Tows Plowing came out victorious after a tie-breaker question and they were awarded the bar swag.  

And, unlike our first place team, Passed Thyme couldn't handle it all and choked during the tiebreaker question. They were awarded third place and the $10 Half Price Books giftcard. Here they are...

Congratulations! I hope you enjoyed the return of the blog, hopefully you'll see more soon!

AUGUST 18: SOME PRETTY FLY ONE-HIT WONDERS AND A LOT OF JESUS

August 18th was an awesome night.  It was definitely the biggest trivia night in terms of number of people and number of teams in a long time.  This week's questions were on the harder side as only one team scored in the 40s.  Some teams, my brother's team included, even had scores in the teens... not their best night. 

A team that did have a good night, however, scoring 43 points with a little jab to one of our regular teams was Deep Throat This.  Here they are!

They ended a three week 1st place finish for one of our regular teams. 

There was a tie for second place between Ouch Pouch and Deep Throat who both amassed 36 points.  After learning that 4 out of the last 5 presidents were left handed, Deep Throat ended their three week run at 1st place with a 2nd place finish.

I think the guy on the left was blinded by the colors of the guy on the right.

Bringing up the rear, after not seeing them for a few weeks, Ouch Pouch was awarded third place.  They weren't very happy about it.

At least the two guys in front had a good time.

That wraps up another week of EP Green Mill trivia blog.  Thanks to everyone who played, sorry to those who weren't able to make it in the top 3, but there's always next week.

Love,

Peter

AUGUST 11: HOT VIDEO GAMES IN HERRE

When nine o'clock rolled around, there were about two teams playing trivia.  Thankfully after a few minutes more teams showed up and made the contest interesting.  In the end there were six strong teams vying for the honor and glory of winning Thursday night trivia...oh and a $25 bar tab. 

In a not so surprising win, Deep Throat came in 1st place with 44 points.

Winning for the third week in a row, I salute you with a thumbs up of my own.

Coming in a close 2nd place for the 2nd week in a row with 43 points was What Do I Do With My Hands.

They tried to leave before getting their picture taken, but I got 'em!

There was a tie for 3rd place between Miles of Smiles and Just Released Colon Now That's What I Call Music 39 each attaining 41 points. After learning that people have no idea how many albinos are in the world, Miles of Smiles was the victor.

Look at those winning(3rd place) smiles.

Thanks to everyone who showed up! I like it when there are a lot of teams so if you come every week keep coming, I like familiar faces, and if you don't go very often, start because it's fun and free and you can win awesome prizes! See you next week!

Love,

Peter

P.S. I miss you Ouch Pouch.

AUGUST 4: AN INTIMATE ENCOUNTER

Tonight was a pretty slow night.  There were only about 5 teams, but we still rocked the trivia like there were 20 teams, right guys!? Right. This week there were no tiebreaker rounds but the scores were still very close. On this more intimate of trivia nights it was slightly easier to win prizes but with some of our regular powerhouse teams, it's never easy.

Speaking of powerhouses, in first place with 43 points for their second win in a row was Deep Throat. I'm going to have a lot of pictures of these guys...sorry, that was a little creepy. Here they are:

This is less blurry than the last one, but still kind of creepy...guy on the left.

In 2nd place with 41 points, moving up a spot from last week was What Do I Do With My Hands. For some reason they chose the bar swag.

What are they doing with their hands?

In 3rd place was a solo effort called El Hombre Pacifico racking up 40 points all by himself.

One of the few people who actually enjoys winning the Half-Price Books gift card.

There you have it.  Blog post #3 of the day is coming soon.

Love,

Peter

JULY 28: MINNESOTA HAS A LOT OF LAKES!

This blog post is coming a little late...my bad.  This night was pretty fun.  There were a lot of teams as well as an exciting tiebreaker question for first place.  Because I can barely remember what happened a few days ago, let alone a few weeks ago, that's about all the recap I have for that night so lets move on to the winners.

As I said, there was a tiebreaker question to determine 1st place with two teams accumulating 45 points.  After learning that Minnesota has a lot of big lakes, quite a few more than 10,000, Deep Throat came out on top. If you follow this blog, you've seen these guys before:

I don't know why, but the hand in the middle of the picture is kind of creeping me out.

Moving on. After losing a heartbreaking tiebreaker, Kinkos-Straight Makin' Copies was awarded 2nd place and opted for the bar swag. 

Jose Cuervo!

Finally, in third place with 41 points is What Do I Do With My Hands.  I know they were psyched about the hpb gift card.

I hope they were playing that game on the screen behind them.

So that wraps up the night.  All of our winners this week were regulars.  I'm not saying anything by that, it's just an observation.  Because I was tardy in posting this, there will be two more posts today! Get excited!

Love,

Peter
