      Who the Hell is Utah Phillips?

      The first two Kings trivia nights of 2010 have been futuristically fantastic! We've drank together, laughed together, learned that Pope Benedict XVI rocks Tupac on his playlist together, and enjoyed our share of Kings' premium tator tots together. But we've also shared some tense times thus far. For instance, the champs of the past two weeks have been, how should I put this...friends and/or family of mine. Conflict of interest? I'm gonna go ahead and say "no", umkay. They all brought their "A" game, and those photocopies of the answer key.
      But the most scorching scorn (even from my peeps) was in response to last weeks Image Round about people with names that are also states. Just who in the sam HELL is Utah Phillips?
      Phillips (the one without visible cleavage, I think) was a folk singer and labor organizer. Ohh! THAT Utah Phillips! One awesome team got it right. Like I've been telling yall for months, study up on your obscure, grizzled folk singing labor organizers! It pays (unless you're not a team comprised of my friends/family).
      Winners
        
      My trusted Kodak camera decided to sit this one out. Thankfully, my pal Becky had her Droid on hand, so I took mad pictures. She then proceeded to email them to me, and erase them from her phone. Well, they never got to me. Therefore, if you currently own a Droid, or any 3G phone with the Android operating system - destroy it immediately. You saw 2001: A Space Odyssey, right? The "flawless" computer makes an error, then starts killing off the humans to cover up its mistake. Don't get droided! Luckily, all the winner have been photographed from past wins....and wow, this is kinda creepy - the last two weeks, the same three teams have placed in the same exact positions. 
      Here's first place - team D&D's Nutz, with 33 outta 40 points!
      Well, two of these people were on Nutz. Nice work, and nice conflict of interest. Not pictured is the heckler.
      And while I'm at it, here's the first place team from two weeks ago - team Molgret & The Jimmies!
      They kicked total arse, and were comprised of two sexy ladies, one sexy gent (who was part of Nutz), and my sexy father. Another sexy conflict of interest.
      Second place went to Kings aka The City Council.
      This fantastic photo of their second place victory two weeks ago should suffice, and then some. So photogenic, Janey! And David demands more takes than Stanley Kubrick!
      And third for two weeks straight is The Mighty Ducks/Emilio Estevez & the Bombay Bombers!
      Boo yeah! Two weeks of Estevez-related references! I'm excited for what this week holds. A Repo Man shoutout, perhaps?
      And I must note that team Pizzly Bear was technically fourth last week, but since The City Council renounce their prize due to having employee-teammates, Pizzly were also kinda third place.
      Congrats! They were just a stripped down threesome last week, but held their ground.
      Will the pattern continue? Will my dad show up and dominate as always? Will David strike the ultimate pose? Will I be able to wrap this post up soon, and post future posts on time? How many licks DOES it take to get the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? Three licks, like the owl in the commerical?
