Phil Collins, You Freak Me Out (Space Room)

So that’s a strange Phil Collins picture. And if it was an isolated incident, I probably wouldn’t even bring it up except for the fact that we (okay I) made fun of Phil a lot in our 80s Themed quiz last night. But then I found this:

We’ve got two now! It’s an epidemic! Phil Collins is multiplying by mitosis!

ARGHHH…

Well, let’s set aside the panic for a bit and talk about last night’s awesome quiz at Space Room. The hottest quiz on Hawthorne was hoppin’ with a full house of hungry quizzers and a rollicking Name That Tune Round 2. Lots of new teams and irregular veterans filling the seats here, and last night’s top prize went on to Thistle Und Shamrock, who’s feisty wagering beat out Cowboy Banana and Those Meddling Kids.

That makes Thistle a contender in the Space Room Saucer — just check out how high they’ve climbed in the standings!

****************************************************

Each season, on the Solstices and the Equinoxes, Quizmaster JPP’s venues (Shanahan’s Pub and Grill in Vancouver, The Space Room Lounge on Hawthorne, and at The Belmont Inn on Belmont) break into their own in-house competitions, augmenting the weekly Pub Quiz fare with quarterly standings competitions to prove who is the best of the bunch.

The spoils are a mix of gift certificates, treats, and an entire season of tributes paid to you by your peers. The rules are quite simple, and can be found here.

The trash talking is a bit more complex, and can be found here.

And the updated standings, which can be viewed in detail here, are below.

So, without further ado, here are the current Top Tens:
