Now that that is firmly fixed in your mind, here’s another, similar, picture:

Team Anagram This! brought in books from the library that had their names in the titles, and even spent some extra time finding one for me!  I feel the resemblance is uncanny between these two bunny pictures.

Congratulations to team BuzzKill for their first place win last night at The Lion:

They were in first I think every round, and controlled the quiz like pros right into the money!

In second place, team Anagram This!, with third going to the Not Real Doctors??  Special mention to team Evil League of Evil, who did a fun little devil doodle with their team name that I snapped a picture of, secretly:

But on to the quiz!  Congratulations to team Cattle Prodigy for their first place win!

Mooooooooooooo.

In second place, congrats to team Mustache Flavored Kisses!  In third, another special mention to Yo Soy Fiesta, they dominated all game, and were a single year off in the final challenge question (which they bet a bunch of points on).  SO CLOSE!  Ahh well, next time.  Cattle Prodigy did the same thing last week, even getting a perfect score on 80′s Name That Tune, only to not win money in the final round.  And this week, they took first!  It’s karma, baby.

Until next week peeps!  Congrats to Anagram This! for taking first in January’s monthly standings.

Here it is, your Thirsty Lion Standings for the month of February:

Anyway, what it means is that I get to post pictures like this!:

Is it a photobomb when it’s your own teammate?

Bamf!  That’s right, another super successful 80′s night o’ trivia – over 70 people showed to The Thirsty Lion last night!  Crazy-sauce!

We had a perfect score on Name That Tune as well.  I thought I could throw people off with the ridiculous hair in the videos, but NO! Mick Hucknall wasn’t enough of a distraction:

At the end of the day, first place prize went to team Hangin’ Brain:

In second place, team Anagram This, some of which are in the first picture up there.  In third, team I’m With Stupid!  Just missing the money, Cattle Prodigy and The Pinball Wizards.

Until next week peeps!  Here it is, your Thirsty Lion Standings for the month of January:

It was a packed night at The Thirsty Lion yesterday, and stayed that way even after that huge dinner party cleared out!  Over fifty quizzers came, saw, but only three teams conquered and took home the money.  Congratulations to team Anagram This! for their first place win:

They happily shouted “Undefeated all year!”  So far in 2012, it’s 100% true =)

In second place, The Moo, otherwise known as team Cattle Prodigy!  And in third place, The Not Real Doctors?? took home a decent chunk o’ change.

Also, if you were wondering, I was on drugs last night: A Rockstar energy drink; a cup of coffee; and a ROOT BEER!  Judging by me bouncing off the walls from that, I’d probably have a heart attack if I ever did cocaine.  ”Lightweight syndrome” apparently applies to more than just beer.

Until next week peeps!

Here it is, your Thirsty Lion Standings for the month of January 2012:

Yeah, yeah, he can take pictures on the first try I’m sure.

Congrats to the above team – Anagram This! – for their first place win last night at The Thirsty Lion!  It was also Amanda’s birthday.  She’s the adorable one.  What’s that?  They are all adorable?  I KNOW RIGHT?  More specifically, she’s the adorable one in the scarf, green, and brown on the left.  They gave me a piece of their birthday cake, which was a cheesecake with a medium-thickness white chocolate shell coating the whole thing.  It looked amazing, tasted amazing, but when trying to cut it they found that hard shell + softer center means a squishy mess when you go to cut it into pieces.  It might have worked to crunch the top first, crème brûlée style, but I’m not sure.  It was definitely a structural conundrum.  A delicious one, though.

There were fifty quizzers there, so it was no small feat to take first place!  In second place, team Buzzkill took home a healthy stack o cash, as did third place team Not Real Doctors??

Congrats to team Cattle Prodigy for winning +15 bonus points next week from their wheel of prizes spin.  Also to the Evil League of Evil, who won two cover passes to a weekend show at The Thirsty Lion.

Special mention to team East Coast Travelers – they came all the way from New Hampshire just to get last place for the evening.  I think they had a good time though!

But on to the quiz!  In first place last night, team Anagram This!

I finally remembered their names as well, which I don’t think I’d ever asked for until last month.  I won’t forget guys!  See you next week Englebert!  And you, too, Unicorn Moonchild!

Just kidding.

In second place, team Mustache-Flavored Kisses!  Right behind them, The Playa Haters, who were so excited to make it to the final challenge round, only to be dashed with taking third place.  Next week guys!  You were rock solid the first part of the trivia!  Sometimes you get screwed by the final question, and sometimes it’s something you know before the question is asked.

Also, here’s a Not Real Doctor?? taking his glamour shot with the Wheel of Prizes, which is a thing that we like to do at The Lion:

=)

So here it is!  And it’s a fun one =)  Incoming sweater pictures!

Team Anagram This!

Also, Anagram This! exchanged gifts, including a pencil kit with their Quizzing team name all over it:

So awesome.  =)

And congratulations to team Hangin’ Brain for not only their first place win, but for contributing a sizeable portion of the donations for the evening – $32 total for one venue!  Not bad at all peeps!
