Nuns and Nazis came out in full force last night to dominate the Sound of Music all the way through the game. They led us all the way from Bingo up to the final question last night. As I said last night, they’ll beat you down with the love of God, or they’ll roll over [...]

Only one team managed to bring in the original Broadway recordings of the Sound of Music… on vinyl no less! Thanks, [...]
