    A Night of Uffda

    Last week in third, last night the champs - Kebert Xela!

    They tangled in a tiebreaker, uh, tangle. T'was about blimps, and they were closest to the correct length of the Hindenberg (804 ft). Nice work, dude on the far right!

    And, oh yeah, the humanity.

    Second goes to this trio - Em, M & E!

    They may have lost the tiebreaker (actually a double tiebreaker, they tied on the first one), but they won our Half Price Books gift card! Maybe next week...our hearts?

    And third technically went to these familiar faces...if you squint a bit, you can make the lady on the right look like Adam. They were known as The Donkey Punches!

    They killed in a tiebreaker, but since they're staff, here are Team Awesome Nutz!

    The tiebreaker representative knew that Manute Bol was 7'7" (tallest man in NBA history), but he blurted out the answer...I forgot to mention the spiel about whispering the answer quietly and gently into my ear. He blew the next attempt, but who cares - he's a proud owner of a King's Wine Bar t-shirt now. And a goshdarn champion in my book.

    Thanks to the Donkey Punches at King's Wine Bar - aka Adam, Jennifer, Aaron and John. And King's has a brand new grill and some amazing burgers now! Check 'em out, and check you next week!

    BARF-O-RAMA!

    With 35 of 40 points, the clever duo who comprise Complete & Total Barf-O-Rama is first place this week!

    The name ties into Monday's Internet Only Question about River Phoenix's character in Stand By Me, who apparently utters this team's name. All I remember about that movie is "Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Pop" and that dead body. Oh, and Corey Feldman. Oh, and Rebecca Romijn Stamos' skinny husband who was fat back in the day (and who's not John Stamos any more). I think that's all I remember. Oh, and "Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Pop". Nice work!

    In second with 32 outta 40 points is Luchan 39!

    You win a Half Price Books gift card, which the lady on the right could've used earlier in the day. Doh! Just return those Thomas Kincade bookmarks, then turn around and buy them back with the gift card. Oh, wait, don't do that to our sponsor. Who gave you such an idea?!?

    And third goes to Kebert Xela with 30 points!

    The guy in the middle ditched his first place winning parents (a couple weeks back) in favor for a couple pals - and third's the word. I'd like to see all members show up next week - each with their own set of parents/guardians. Add lots-o-wine, and we may have ourselves quite a spectacle. I welcome a no-holds-barred, trivia-wine-pals-family therapy session @ King's!

    Thanks to John, Emily, Adam, Lily and Christian at King's - my second favorite dysfunctional family (outside of my own, of course). Til next time...

    KING'S SHREDS!

    Kudos to this top-drawer threesome - Sour Skittles!

    They won with 32/40 points! And I believe their name is inspired by John the bartender's speciality - spaghetti & skittles, which he likes to cook for the ladies.

    Billy likes it too!

    Second place belongs to an Army of Juan!

    They were tied with Skittles, but fell short of the tiebreaker about coach Brad Childress's winning percentage with the Vikes (56.3%).

    I wonder if Brad's gonna kiss Brett before or after he walks 'em to his front door.

    And third place goes to Creed Shreds!

    They were only a point outta tiebreak territory with the top two, but can still shred with the best of 'em. And their name is rooted in the Pregnancy Sound Round, as Creed was Song 3 with "With Arms Wide Open"...and I think this series of videos may have had a hand too.

    Thanks to J.P., John, Adam and Emily holdin' it down at KWB! They shred too!

    Kebert Xela - A Family Affair

    Welcome back to the top, Kebert Xela!

    As this picture clearly shows (taken under a blanket with a pinhole camera) there was only one regular Xelot with us this week - and he brought along his parents (I made the assumption, and the risk paid off). He had a closer guess in the tiebreaker showdown as to how many wives Brigham Young took on in his lifetime (a mere 55). My kinda guy. Boo yeah, Xela & his creators!

    Second goes to Smarty Pants!

    These ladies almost won in their first evening of King's trivia! Buy all the anime you can handle with your Half Price Books gift card!

    And third place is in the hands of Bootie Queen!

    And I left without giving you the third place prize of a King's Wine Bar t-shirt. Something tells me Jennifer stepped up to the plate (as always) and righted my wrong. If not, throw a lil Cabernet Sauvignon in my face next time ya see me.

    Thanks to Aaron, Adam, Jennifer, John and Molly at King's (thought I should go alphabetically this week)!

    Yeah I Wear a Belly Chain, What's It To Ya?

    For the third week in a row, these folks dominated King's Wine Bar trivia - this week named Steve Swanson's Belly Chain!

    The name is in reference to a team member who claimed that when they worked at a local hospital, this guy came in for an x-ray

    and he refused to take off his belly chain. Ahh, nothing compares 2 Prince...and no rules apparently apply either, cuz they took the xray with the figgin' chain on! And BTW, I found the above pic through Google Images on a Prince fan forum site - and found this more, um, detailed look at Prince's belly chain.

    Sorry. Had to be done. Now my navel is nowhere as attractive, but I'm quite proud of my belly botton. Prince's looks like it's giving birth to a wang. Let's move on.

    Second place went to Kebert Xela!That's one spot up from third place last week. Don't stop til ya back to the top!

    Third goes to team Depraved Indifference!

    You guys didn't seem too indifferent to your prize of two DQ Blizzards!

    And fourth goes to Team Awesome

    This team is actually one of two Team Awesomes who were in attendance Monday night. Congrats on being awesomer.

    And many thanks to the King's Wine Bar crew - Jennifer, Laurie, John, Adam, Lily and Molly! Let's do this again next Monday night.
