Happy Birthday Larry

Team Trivia has been taking place every Monday night at 8 PM at the bar, even though I’ve been behind in the reporting duties. The action has been fun and heavy, and sometimes nip and tuck. highlights include . . .
well, let’s start with the important stuff. I’ve rediscovered that the absolute best tasting beer is Ice Chest Beer. and so, by the request of the winning team (and i believe in this case it was Bubba’s team) we proudly put together an Ice Chest of the Champagne of Beers – Miller High Life. this was enough to make even chickalet smile!

“If I Hear Anyone Say 1978 One More Time!!”: we had some intense trivia competition that resulted in a tie two weeks ago. several teams sent their representatives to the stage and had to answer the question of “In what year did NASCAR begin?”

bubba, who was awarded the sports trivia title on four separate occassions, came closest with his answer helping his team take down the title for the week!

action was just as intesne the following week, with another tie between only two teams this time. the question was once again sports. “How long in distance is the Boston Marathon?”

after both contestants wrote down 26.3 miles, larry announced the question to the entire room. someone from back announces proudly “26.22 miles, everyone knows that!” unfortunately, his teammate, who was at the stage and could have brought home the win, didn’t know that. soooo close!
so, things moved into a 2nd tie-breaker, which was a short visual puzzle. How many toothpicks remain in the jello-shot toothpick container?

and finally, we had a winner, by a terribly slim margin. and so the summer competition at Team Trivia seems to have found a level where everyone has a chance at winning each night!
This Week: we had a great showing, Bud Pounders for a buck, and a team that managed to outpace the competiton and win outright! Apparently the key to victory this evening was the pickup of Free Agent trivia player Hobo. Hopefully we see these guys back next week to defend their title!
