March 20, 2012

We had a good size team playing tonight with a new member Brian and our very own:  Owen, Mike, Steve, Tru, Justin, Amoreena and myself.

We started off with a perfect round, I mean how could we not with the questions relating to "The Green Lantern"

Round 2 we were reminded of this groups song lyrics:  http://youtube/qeMFqkcPYcg

Round 3 was another perfect score for us.  Given that we knew the Bible and States pretty good.
Moving into half time was the collective nouns, do you know these?

Bison = Herd
Spiders =
Elk =
Owls =
Coyotes =
I did the first one for you, now fill in the rest.

Rapid round 4 is about 90's Style, this one we owned, as every one of us can remember the 90's very well.  Not that I'm saying anything about age here.

Rapid round 5 was a fairly easy score for us, given that we changed our minds at the last moment and agreed with Owen on the Star question, Glad we did, he was right!

That brings our team to a total of 74 points for the final question.  So we listen to the other teams scores and figure we only need 12 points on the bid to win 1st place.  The category is "Bodies of Water"  when the question is read, we feel sure of our answer but not 100%, so we go with a 12 point bid. To our surprise, we had not heard one of the teams scores correctly and they beat us by 1 point!  Now let me tell you how important that 1 point was...oh never mind, if you have read this much of the blog, YOU already know it was a Game Changer! 
However we are happy with winning and will drink less until after the game next time.  We had a blast and I'm excited to have been a part of the fun.

1st place went to "the Knights"
2nd place to yours truly "Romero's Rejects"
3rd place to "More Cheese Please"

BTW...if we had took the chance and bet the max, we were correct on our Final Answer, just saying!  See you next time my friends
