Back to Triviamafia Blogging 2/8/2010

Since my superiors intimated to me that I'd be having a close relationship with some walleyes if I didn't get off my lazy ass and start up this forum again, here I go.

I only missed all football season.  I've been busy!

Last night, we had 10 stalwart teams braving the snow and a particularly nasty quiz.  I think everyone had fun, but I can never be sure.  Holding your head in your hands while being asked a question is indicative of fun, right?

I also tried a little experiment, and went acoustic, since it looked like a light turnout.  I can assure you htat I'll never work without a speaker again.  Thanks to all for putting up with my nonsense.

In third place, after losing a tiebreaker, with 84 points, here's Spoken Like a True Wildman.

Guys, next time you need to flip the gift card right side up, so we can see what you've won.  Apparently, these three never buy produce -- if they had just two more correct answers on the Fruit Varieties round, they would have won.

In second place, after winning a tiebreaker, with 84 points, here's Oh, Crap, a Name.

The tiebreaker question was how far is the driving distance from 2626 Hennepin Ave. to 201 Duval St., Key West, FL, which is the address of Sloppy Joe's.  These guys guessed 1700 miles, and the answer, according to Google Maps, is 1,947, which seems a bit high to me.  If these guys had known a bit more about how many people are in bands, they might well have prevailed.

Our winners on this evening, with a mere 86 points, are Paddy O'Furniture.

Sorry about the breathtakingly poorly composed photo here.  Thanks for holding up the picture round, guys!

We'll be back next Monday Night with more fun and games, complete with a microphone and a speaker!
