    Trivia Madness in the Air Tonight

    Demoralising teams with five, six, seven + members, Rickey Henderson wins it with a team of two & a half! 38/40 points!

    I say "half" of a teammate cuz one was drunkenly arguing about whether or not he should go to Penzeys Spices. It seriously almost turned ugly! I don't think Deb & Barb would take kindly to aggressive inebriates at their location. Man I love Tuesday nites! Congrats RH!

    Second goes to the Gin Buckets with 36 points!

    They knew their Simpsons guest characters, subject of our Image Round. Though one team thought American music legend Tito Puente

    was in fact Bill Clinton.

    No points awarded!

    And third goes to The Pen is Mightier, with 35 outta 40 points!

    They had other members join later on, who came in the clutch and helped ID the elusive Sound Round track # 1 (category: Songs Censored by Clear Channel after 9/11). T'was "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" by Simon & Garfunkel.

    Why Al-Qaeda can't get enough of that weepy tune by those two very Jewish men, I'll never know.

    Thanks to Stephanie, Kane and the staff @ da Green Mill! See you next week!

    Revenge of The Talls!

    It's been some months since this most faithful team has kicked some serious trivia arse - give it up for The Talls!

    And a new member to boot! Congrats to Perry, Jenna, Charlie, and the new gal! Oh, and trivia will go on next week, Jenna...I think.

    I haven't seen this posse in a while - second goes to Look Both Ways a Bunch!

    Good advice, and sorry for screwing you out of a proper 1st place tiebreaker opportunity. I really gotta brush up on my late 20th century Russian presidents. Chyort voz'mi, Gromyko!

    And the destroyers of a sultry menage-a-tiebreaker for third are The Whales Commission!

    They were three inches off Big Bird's height (8'2'').

    And no seatbelt! Ever since Henson's death, B.B.'s been hittin' the oxy hard. If Robert Downey Jr. can turn it around, surely you can, my fine feathered friend.

    Thanks to Stephanie, Kane and everyone at Green Mill! Trivia WILL be on next Tuesday. Just cuz this was the last trivia of the summer doesn't mean we won't be back next week. Fear not, faithful!

    Slutz & Buttz!

    After weeks of toiling in the lower depths of the top six, Slutz & Buttz prove they're no collective putz!

    They trounced all with 36 outta 40 points! Here are just two of several members...other names in the past have included Crash & Dash, Assault & Battery, and Date & Rape. What sicko came up with that last one? Oh wait, I suggested it as a (bad) joke, and it became their actual name one week. I can't take credit for Slutz & Buttz, though, or their awesome victory Tuesday night! Hurrah!

    Second goes to Stim Pack Lite, with 30 points!

    Nuthin' lite about these brainiacs! Well, actually they're all quite svelte. So I guess they're kinda lite that way. Yep.

    And third goes to the ever lovable The Talls!

    And they had a new guy this week, left of Elsie (who's the dame furthest left). They earned their third place spot after a couple tense tiebreakers - the second of which was about the population of Sao Paulo proper (11mil), which the new guy hit exactly! Wow! He also followed my tiebreaker instructions to a T, and then some. I always ask for tiebreaker reps to give me their answer quietly and gently in order to avoid a Showcase Showdown-style nightmare. And this chap actually did whisper super quietly, and with a gentle eroticism I haven't experienced in some time. I always appreciate the latter, just not so much with that guy. I mean, he's a perfectly normal dude, handsome for a man and all. It's just...he turned me gay, ok! Thanks, Talls!

    And thanks to Stephanie, Kane, Rocky, Ryan and all the rest at the St. Paul Green Mill! They turn me gay every Tuesday night. Huh? Dunno either. Toodles!

    2 Girls, One Cyclone of Potato Fries

    Here are two members of Tuesday's champs - 2 Girls, One Cyclone of Potato Fries!

    They were suspiciously close to the answer of the tiebreaker about the number of wives enjoyed by Brigham Young - 55. They were one wifey off. Me thinks closet Mormans at Green Mill trivia? Oh, and the others left early to make some home movies involving brown soft-serve, or the like. Hope they turn out well.

    For the second week in second, he comes Stim Pack Lite!

    No closet Mormans here, I think. And sorry for cutting you out of the frame, lil bro of lady on your right. Sorry, I only remember names after undergoing intense Memory Impression Therapy (MIP).

    It's fun!

    And third goes to....whaaaa?!?!?! The Rural Jurors!!! I thought you guys parished in a freak 30 Rock viewing party fire or something!

    Welcome back, as you came back in a big way - in the threeway tiebreaker for first! Actually, I almost screwed them outta the top three due to a grading error. But nothing was getting past birthday girl Holly (left), who kneed me in the groin in front of seventy-some players. I deserved it. However, Holly is clearly not a Morman, as she thought the major figure in polygamy-rich Latter Day Saint history settled for less than a baker's dozen in wives!

    With that space shuttle-doo Brigham was flaunting, eight wives simply won't do. Happy birthday again, Holly!

    Thanks to Stephanie, Kane, Rocky and all the rest at da Green Mill! See ya Tuesday...

    Lesbians Rule!

    Wowzerinos! I've never seen such an ample crowd at Tuesday Trivia before! Thanks to all yall who put up with napkins/blank sheets of paper and the longer grading time (I'll find a suitable grading partner for next week, I swear!)

    Congrats to these faithful Apple employees known as I Lesbians Trivia!

    I don't get the name, but I get lesbianism. And cheers on your jump up from third place last week, fellas. But jeers to your group confession that the Verizon/IPhone marriage will never happen. Take it back!

    Second goes to Stim Pack Lite!

    Back in the top three after a week hiatus - should I give credit to the kid brother who tagged along?

    Third goes to When the Taints Come Marching In!

    Great name, great squad. And yes, the Lebron James twitter IOQ controvesy is over! It was actually impossible to find the answer, so I gave credit to all those who attempted! It was an inadvertant trick IOQ. I swear.

    Thanks to the lovable crew at the St. Paul Green Mill, and to all you trivia faithfuls! Martes proximo!
