First let me start by saying that I have NO excuse for not blogging. I got my PI license in March and opened DragonFly Investigations. Enrolled in Dective Training school. Started volunteering at the Al Spy Shop in Madison to learn equipment and PI work from Bret and Tim. Still doing my Arbonne route and working for The Poolman. So forgive me if I don't always get my blogs done :)
March 1st: Tonight we all got to meet Nick's mom Reny. I sure hope I spelled her name correct. She was really nice and I wish I had gotten a picture! I can't believe that I didn't, yet somehow I'm sure it's going to be okay. Patrick saved our team by getting us the first time ever 10 points on the Half Time Sport question!!! There were 18 teams playing, not sure how many by the end of the game. I know a couple teams left before it was over. Not that I mind, it gave us all a better chance. The trivia question for tonight is: What is the Last Shot of the Day called? OK, everyone can put your comments in for the answer.
March 8th: Tonights compitation was 14 teams playing with many of those being teams of 6 or more. I think I did see a table or 2 with about 3 or 4 players. It's hard to keep track sometimes of all the teams. Tonights winners were 3 teams that I don't recall ever seeing play here. It could be that they play on a different night, sometime we switch up too. The one thing I can recall very well is wishing I knew the answer to What is a vexillologist? Well for those of you who don't know, It's the study and collection of information about FLAGS. With that, I'm moving on to next weeks trivia.
March 15th: Tonight the only ones that showed up for Trivia was myself and Steve...what happened to our crew...oh yeah, Mike was enjoying some much needed time with his Mom. Kate got herself a new job...congrats, can't remember why Owen was withholding his knowledge and I wasn't sure I could make it until the last minute. Infact, I remember Lisa (the trivia lady) saying how she thought we were going to be a no show. I can tell you from my notes that we scored a 0 in rapid round 4 and turned around and kicked butt in round 5. All that looks like a good thing, but when you look at us betting it all on the Final question and getting it wrong, we didn't do so hot...but we sure had fun playing. The winning teams tonight were:
ATO in 1st place
Adonas DNA in a close 2nd
Tez pulled a 3rd place win over the Assassins
So take note of this one...the next time someone ask you a question about Chewing gum, crayons & Beer....listen to the men/man in the group!
OH and one more cool thing, the team across from us got called down for cheating with cell phones. We didn't bother to "tattle", all it took was a 2nd Margaretta and Steve spoke up. I think what I enjoyed most was the drunk guy at there table that couldn't shut up about how they won 1st place once and were all using their phones! So after our little busting, they finished their food and left the building. Leaving room for some honest trivia players. THANKS STEVE!
March 22nd: Shannon became our newest Reject tonight.
It's about time Owen decided to bring us some help. We started off strong without missing a question thru the first 3 rounds. Then they hit us with the Half Time question of March Madness....we are NOT sports people...at least not basketball anyways. Oh well, we hung in there with the Rapid Rounds and beat 13 other teams out of the running. Now with all that said, we didn't win tongiht, as there were 18 teams playing, you get to do your own math on this one. Have fun while I finish writing...LOL
March 29th: Tonights team was: Myself, Steve, Mike, Kate, Nick, Owen, Shannon.
We took 2nd place in a heated battle for 1st. We were only 2 points behind "Debra's Team". It was that darn question of Names that kept us from the top. We sure had fun and they kept the sports questions down a little tonight. I think if it's sports, it should be BAMA football....yeah, I said it!
April 5th: Tonight was an event for Amanda and her new school for the fall. She was so excited going to pick up all the information and then came home and went right to bed in tears. When I went in to talk with her, it turns out she thought she had to plan the next 4 years of her life all in a weeks time. After our talk, she was calm enough to get some rest.
April 12th: Tonight was a bit of excitement as the Team Dynamic Duo was caught cheating and BUSTED...Nicely I might add. It's one thing to play, but another entirely to cheat to win. There are several teams that play weekly like us (Bad Idea, The Unknowns, The A team) I'm sure there are some more teams that I can't remember at the moment. However, we all like a good and fair game of trivia. I hope this was a lesson to any other teams out there cheating. Now on to the fun stuff of the night.
We all got to meet our newest member of the Romero's Rejects team....Drew. He did good helping out and we look forward to having him back again tonight.Our team members present tonight were: Myself, Steve, Mike, Owen, Shannon, Kenzie, Drew.
To all our surprise, the winner in tonights game was "Bomb Shells" They weren't even in the top 6 teams and out of the night sky they took over with the final trivia answer.
We did get to meet a new team tonight, they took 3rd place with 67 points as "ChipCrane". We expect to see them back again also.
Update on the Scale Back Alabama Romero's Rejects team....Donnie did GREAT by losing 15 pounds! Our team didn't win the challenge, however, the weight lost was good. I'm still planning to lose some more over the next month or so. After all, I can't wear a string bikini with this current womans body.... wonder where I can get a younger modle to try out for the summer months ;-)
Well that is farewell until I see you all tonight....BTW, tonight we must all decide a good PARTY date to spend our winnings. And that means winning 1st place tonight! See you in a few hours, I'm on my way to the cool Al Spy Shop in Madison. Drop by and say HI
