Though I laughed really hard at that answer. Also, I was REALLY surprised people didn’t put more racy answers to the question “Although it sounds erotic, this is the body part in the back of your throat.” Uvula was the correct answer, but there is so much POTENTIAL there for answer-shenanigans!
On to the quiz! It was a swelteringly hot 96 degrees outside yesterday. People braved the Hellish heatwave to do a battle of wits, and I’m glad they did! It was a really fun night, and we plowed right through the obstacles in our path. Yes, the very fates themselves tried to slow down our pub quiz, but no! We would not let them. And by fates, I mean to say that video equipment is REALLY too complicated to be good. Therefore, video equipment is evil. It’s just logical.
Congratulations to the pub team The Thirstiest Lions for taking first place! Sarah and Liz helped from the bar and the team effort paid off (your infatuation with Brad Pitt finally paid off Liz)! To be perfectly fair though, who ISN’T infatuated with Brad? Check out his awesome movie list: True Romance, A River Runs Through It, Interview With the Vampire, Legends of the Fall, Se7en, Twelve Monkeys, The Devil’s Own, Snatch, Fight Club, The Mexican, Spy Game, Ocean’s Eleven, Burn After Reading, Inglourious Basterds. His best performances in my opinion are in Burn After Reading and Twelve Monkeys.
Anyway, back to the winners!
The room clapped for them too – since they didn’t pay their first place pot carries over into next week! Thems some happy pub quizzers, lemme tell ya!
In second place Anagram This! They were also quite happy, since it was enough for BEER for the team. What else can ya ask for? Also props to third place – I’m With Stupid. They were very strong all night and got screwed by the Brad Pitt question. Strong team though, hope to see them back next week so they get a shot at what is sure to be a big pot!
Here are the (new) monthly standings for the month of July:
3 points – The Thirstiest Lions
2 points – Anagram This!
1 point – I’m With Stupid
On a side note, we’ll get June’s prize out soon. The staff at the Thirsty Lion are exhausted from the craziness of opening at 4 or 5 in the morning for World Cup games. The Soccer finals are almost here though (bittersweet?) so we’ll get prizes back on track!
Until next week, enjoy the sunshine, and don’t overheat. And if you’ll excuse me, I have to go watch Twelve Monkeys again now.
