John Edwards - Most Unpopular Political Figure in America. Steve the Host - Most Unpopular Host in One Teams Opinion

Thanks for the meshuga Tuesday night! T'was a mitzvah we could all gather together, and demonstrate our Yiddish skillz...or my lack thereof. I shtuped-up by mispronouncing the word chutzpah. I'm a schmohawk, i-ight. Kudos to the forty-some players who corrected my mistake, in unison. Oh the cascade of castigation! Two things: I'm sorry, and kiss my tuckus. And extra kudos to the sole Jewish guy on that team of 15 - who enjoyed 14 heads darting his way when the category was announced. Way to school the goyim! There, I've used six extra Yiddish words not mentioned in the category! Atonement attained.

Mensches

With only one incorrect answer, the Stimulus Plan take first place for the second week in a row!!!

Only one wrong, and no help from the internet only question bonus point! And last week they only missed two! Now that the Plan has stimulated some throbbing hatred amongst their competitors, can they beat 'em off for a third week? I'm indeed a scoundrel.

Second place goes to The Talls, with a tasty 27/30 points!

Note that the only lady in focus is putting on her best Harvey Keitel - the answer to one from our Pulp Fiction category. Here's Winston Wolf himself:

Wowzers, uncanny! And sorry - I can't reference Keitel without providing THIS accompanying photo.

Now that's chutzpah!

Third goes to team Something Ellipse with 26 points!

That's only half their correct name. See, I wasn't expecting them to take third. I had decreed team Adult Diaper Rash (last week's third placers Tongue Girth) as third...til Ellipse pointed out that I forgot to give 'em the IOQ bonus point - sending them into an afterthought tiebreaker for the ages! Ellipse knew that there were exactly four "100 Year Floods" of the Mississippi during the 20th century - and the Adult Diaper was thoroughly pissed.

They could hardly contain the swell (this shot from a past victory as team Mr. Flinstone). Diaper - I've recorded a musical apology, which can be found right here.

Get medieval on dat trivia next time!

P.S. I was urged by a member of one of the most formidable teams to include this quote in my blog: "The Talls suck". There, it's been done. Let the suspicion spread!
