Tonight I called and Owen couldn't make Las Trojas, however he could be done in time to make the Lone Goose.  So I decided to pick up Steve and go ahead and play at Las Trojas and then we would catch up to Owen at the Lone Goose during the first round there.  Ah if that were only how it worked!  Turns out that we were doing GREAT in the first few rounds with only missing 1 question.  However this birthday party group complained that the trivia was to loud and they turned the speakers.  We couldn't hear and had already ordered our food, so moving around was to much trouble.  The group continued to be louder and louder.  I had already lost my temper with them, yet Steve was level headed and kept me in my seat.  I wish I had pictures to post on here of the whole group of @#$%%.  Any ways, let me try and stay on task.  We finished our food and even with a high score, it was to upsetting to struggle to hear over them, so we paid up and left.  Getting to the Lone Goose early enough not to miss a question :)
The night was much better as we did well in trivia there.  We came in 2nd Place which really cheered me up and they had me feeling a lot better about the night.  I think it was cool that the 3 of us showed up a whole table full that take the top 3 places each week.  Sure put a long lasting smile on my face. 
I need to get some pictures soon from there.  They have real cool Art work!

Lack of time, several games rolled into ONE post

Well I know this is not like me, however, I have limited time over the past couple months and things seem to pile up.  As much as I hid things about how I feel, it really hit me hard when my friend Dale died.  I know that you guys don't know him, however, he was GREAT! 

We played a couple of games at Las Trojas and missed a few games as well.  It's always good to see Lisa and Barbra when we are there.

On September 27th, we played at the Lone Goose Saloon where I ran into my friend Donnie and his friend.  Mike was out of town and Owen didn't make it due to some things he needed to attend too.  The Trivia there is hosted by Clay and he is pretty cool.  When the game started, we were still waiting to hear if any of our team would show up. So I ask Kent at the table next to us, who was also waiting for his team player if they would join us? He accepted and switched over to become the newest team member of the Romero's Rejects. His friend Jackie showed up a bit later and joined us as well. We hung in there pretty good and came in 5th place with only the 4 of us playing.  The winning teams were regular players there and had at least 7 to 9 on the team.  We had fun and met some new friends, so tonight was good.  See you all in October!

Tonight we had Kate, Mackenzie, and Drew all joining back in with us. We played the first 3 rounds by putting all our heads together and not missing a single answer! Way to go team!!! The Half Time question was: Name The Top 5 Most watched Television Series Finales of All Time?

We did well and only missed the 5th one, which I would never have guessed it to be that one. Think you know them? Write down your answer and click here to see if you were correct: http://www.top5ofanything.com/index.php?h=d1660fd6 Now let us all hope I did that right and it works so you can see the answers.
Moving right along to the rapid rounds. In round number 4, we missed the 1930 Disney animation called, Fiddlesticks. Myself, never heard of it before, however the guys seem to all recall it once it was mentioned. So you know I had to look it up and it looks pretty cool. http://www.veoh.com/watch/e91686rh9XdyEp?h1=Flip+The+Frog-Fiddlesticks+%7B1930%7D
I might have to start blogging with this playing, because it keeps your thoughts all running at full speed, at least it did mine :)
Well to end this night and let you all know, we didn't place due to betting 13 points on the Final Question and getting it wrong. We missed calculated how many we could bid and stay in the top 3 and over shot it by 4 points. At any rate, we had a BLAST!

Tonight was Owen, Mike, Steve and myself playing. The first question was cool because it was about Sponge Bob Square Pants. Who was his boss at the crab shack? For those of you who don't know it, I still like that series even today. Mr. Crabs is a real MONEY guy! Ok, on to the rest of tonight. The clues posted on Face Book weren't a lot of help, however the night went well. We had 42 points at half time. During rapid round 4 we did get a cool Super Hero question and it was Green Lantern. We ended the game with a 1st Place lead of 90 points! In 2nd place was the Senoritas with 75 points and 3rd place was Something fun and Creative with 59 points.
The phrase I heard tonight that stuck with me was "Jellin like a Felon" Not even sure I spelled that right at all. However if you read this blog, you probably remember it being said.

Well, got to run, it's time to review the next set of video footage and then maybe catch up some more on the blog :) Have fun everyone

We decided to play at Bridge Street tonight. I'm working tomorrow night on a case and can't play if we wait, so at any rate, we all met up and ordered our food. Glad we ordered early, because it took FOREVER for them to bring it out. Justin, Amoreena and Tru joined us there after trying to coax the cat for quite some time to come out of hiding. I'm hoping it's out and learned a lesson about hiding in deep, dark spaces. After all, you only get 9 lives when you're a cat!

We did alright with a score of 40 at half time. We scored a perfect 18 for rapid round 4 and only 10 points in the last round. Then it was time for the Final Question, which after much talking it over, we did get it right and had bet the max on it. So now where does that leave us? I've given you the information you need to keep up and I'm in one of those nutty moods that means I'm going to let you solve for the correct answer :) Good Luck

Here was the Winning Scores:
98 for 1st Place
97 for 2nd Place
89 for 3rd Place

Now any guess on the team names? Remember we were playing at the Smoke House on this night.

Enjoy and it was good to see our friend Stephanie again. Also found out that they are going to be starting trivia at Good Fellows in Cullman where the old Pizza Hut was. Anyone want to check it out?
