Does anybody have a reasonable theory about why there were twice as many teams at Pub Quiz immediately after the giveaway of a big jackpot? The bar was nearly full at 6:30. I know that Allan Breed's Birthday Extravaganza accounted for an extra two teams worth of people, but I saw at least 3 teams leave when they saw the crowd and realized that competition would be fierce and the bar would be hot. In any case despite the crowd and the climate, I'd like to point out that Pub Quiz is much more exciting and fun when there is a big group vying for trivia dominance.
And although winning the overall score without winning any one round is not really anything like dominance, I think that Team #22 Puppy Surprise for Breakfast should be commended for outsmarting, outplaying, or outlasting the other 25 teams to win. Thy do need to work on their jackpot token selecting, though, and a pretty big total will rollover to next week.
Also Team #7 Cracking Open Cold Ones Like A Necrophiliac began their Bahamanian vacation a night early and pulled off a round 4 win and have left these categories for you while they frolic in the sun next week:
- Dead Kennedys
- Jersey Island
- SB Soccer
- Hold Steady
- NCLEX
- Yoga
- Harry Potter
- CA Fire Names/Codes
- SCUBA
- Latin Plant Names
- Pride & Prejudice & Zombies
- Gatwick Airport
- Remote Sensing
- Fantasy NFL Draft
Results:
Puppy Surprise for Breakfast - 31.75
Junior Likes Ice Cream - 30.5
Cracking Open Cold Ones Like A Necrophiliac - 30
Steam Rollers - 29.5
Allan Breed Got His Shoes Stolen in Jail - 29
I Left My Purple Bag In Your Car, Can I Borrow the Keys - 29
Radicals - 28.5
Beat Jake & Chris (It's Too Hot to Be Clever) - 28
Firefighters Can Only Hope to Contain Us - 27.75
And God Smote LA - 27.75
It was suggested by someone on my team that the influx of newbies was due to the fact that SBCC recently began classes. Just tossing it out there...
Also, when I read "remote sensing" I got real excited but then realized that remote sensing is not the same thing as remote viewing. (But, if the necrophiliacs are reading this, I want to petition them to change their category on the grounds that remote viewing is totally more badass.)
