80′s pop is so great. Maybe better than 90′s, and definitely better than the 00′s

We had a grand celebration of 80′s tunes, tv, and more at the Horse and Hound last night. Quizzers brought their band shirts, leather jackets, fingerless gloves, and swatch watches to bat for bonus points and cred.

Not to be left out of the loop by the older crowd, Get Bent took round 1′s bingo bonus points, but dropped out of the running during round 2′s Name That Tune- which stumped even veteran 80′s music listeners with on-the-tip-of-your-tongue song titles and memorable choruses. (Someone missed Elton John’s ‘I’m still standing’? No way!)

Chocula took the lead with their extreme knowledge of 80′s tunes, 80′s sitcoms, and female authors after round 2 and handouts.

In the final round it came to Chocula, My Precious, and Sandbar devs but no one could quite remember the album ‘Video killed the Radio Star’ is from so the lowest wager took the majority of the night’s $75 pot.

And that lowest wager came frooom…The Sandbar Developers!

Congrats on the win, and kudos for the 80′s spirit Sandbar Developers.
