July 26, 2011

Tonight we are getting some new team members. The newly married Pitts family:  Justin & Amoreena


and their daughter Tru

The rest of our team was here also:  Owen, Mike, Steve and myself.  It's going to be a lot tougher tonight, as there are 21 teams playing.  We are back to our Wonderful host Lisa and she is the SuperStar of the night doing all of the hosting alone.  Tonight was a lot of fun and we were mighty proud to have known what "Lolly Water" means in Australia.  Now that same word used in Thugville (DeKalb Co) will get you a  fruity flavoured pre-mixed vodka concoction. So sweet you can barely taste the alcohol content.  Anyways, back to the night in question :)
We scored a perfect 18 on both of the rapid rounds.  The Final question was to name the movies in 1939 and  1965 where clothes were made from curtains.  This one was enjoyable, as I have seen the Sound of Music over and over again.  IF there is anyone of you that hasn't seen it, take some time and watch it.  Having gotten the answer correct and bidding the max, This placed us in a Tie for 2nd place with "Numero Uno" Sorry my phone didn't catch the team member on the right.  If you guys send me the picture I took with your camera, I'll be happy to change out the pics :)
The tie breaking question was one of memory recall for our team.  As we play trivia in several places and I have tons of trivia games in the game room, we had this one in the bag.  There are 17 types of  penguins.
So our winners for tonight is:
Baby Monkey in 1st place
Romero's Rejects in 2nd.
Numero Uno in 3rd. 
A very close game and yet so much fun.  I'm still waiting for the Trekkie questions that we never get.  Oh well, maybe next week :)
