Let’s Go Flyers!

well, that’s not only the chant that you’ll be hearing tonight when the Fly Guys take on the ‘Hawks on Versus at 8pm on the big screen tonight, it’s also the name of one of the teams from Monday Night Trivia this past week.

Trivia on Monday had a twist to it.  Partly because it was the final hurrah of the Memorial Day Weekend which kicks off the summer, but also because it was the first edition of “80′s Trivia” where players knowledge of the pop culture of the 80′s was going to be a definite help.

plenty of new folks were out to compete, well, and some blasts from the past . . .

and they waded through questions such as . . .

• Who was Ronald Regan’s attempted assassin?
• What legendary rocker was WWF’s honkeytonk man famous for impersonating in the ring?
• Which came first: band aid, farm aid, or live aid?

as the night wore on, the winners came out.  first, we chose the winner from our “Golden Test Tube” contest.  players had been finding ways to have their names placed in the lucky Miller Lite bucket.  and Monday, we drew one of those names and awarded that person with free seats on our trip to Balitmore to see the Orioles take on the Mets in June. 

big congrats go out to the lady who actually won the tickets . . .

to help everyone enjoy the evening even more thoroughly we were lucky enough to have the loveliest lady in all of sunny San Diego stop by and be our shooter girl for the evening, Mrs. Mutzy . . .

these guys were enjoying themselves – big 80′s buffs they are . . .

and every week we’ve had the Magic Envelope Pile – where one lucky player can get the chance to recieve the contents of one of ten envelopes.  inside of one of the envelopes is a $50 bill.  i think the last person to walk away with one of those was Joel.  this week, prizes were certainly in the air as our lad from the RZA picked the right envelope, and walked aaway with a cool $50.  here’s his smile to document the occassion . . .

but wait, let’s get back to the actual GAME.  err, in a moment.  one of the great things about Team Trivia is that it allows you to be creative with how you present yourselves on a Monday night.  you can keep the same team name over and over and become known as a force in teh trivia world, like the RZA and the Jehova’s Witness Protection Program, or you can reinvent your team every week with a new name.

these guys get the name of the week award . . .

i don’t know which one of them works in a beauty parlor, but apparently it inspired the name of “She wanted a manicure, but I gave her a facial instead”. 

when the dust of four intense round of trivia cleared, we still didn’t have a winner.  and so we went into a “Sudden Victory” mode, where each team – and they were The RZA and Let’s Go Flyers – sent a representative to the stage to answer the tie breaking question.

During the 80′s Princess Dianna and Prince Charles were married.  It was a really big to do.  Give me the day, month, and year of the wedding.

the team who cames closest was . . . .

Let’s Go Flyers!
