December 13, 2011

Tonights team is: Mike, Steve, Owen, Justin, Amoreena, Tru and myself.
The night started off with us getting only the sports question wrong, sure glad it was only 2 points!  Loved that they had a question about current movies that are now showing. Not to mention that we already seen it :)
Round 2 was a painful experience with knowing some of the answers in our head and not being able to remember on paper.  For example was the South Park characters question: Who is The school's counselor, who says "M'Kay" randomly? 

While Steve knew his part and loves the show, We put down Mr. Mckey and it should have been "Mr. Mackey" Then it was time for Country music....ugh.  I do like some of it, however this didn't help us any and we scored our first 0 in a some time now. 
As we moved into round 3, things began to look up for us.  Starting with the first question being on Chinese Checkers.  If you have 2 players, how many marbles does each player have on the board?  Since I love this game and grew up playing it, the board was ingrained in my mind and we took the answer straight up. 
The half time question was on Presidents and we scored a perfect 10 on those.
The rapid rounds went in our favor and we held our own.  Then it came time for that Last and sometimes most important question of the game.  Category: "Things"
In 1840, the world's first adhesive postage stamp went on public sale where?  The correct answer is "post offices through-out Britain".  It was called "Penny Black"  if you want to know why, google it.
Our host of the evening was Jeff and he did a fine job.  See you all next time
