Happy Cinco de Mayo

It's a bit late and I first thought I was going to sleep right away, however my mind can't seem to shut down tonight, so I'm going to go ahead and start the blog for tonight.  As I'm sure this one is going to have some a few errors, so just go ahead and plan to over look them :)

We played trivia at The Boot Pizzeria on south parkway.  It was Nick, Anthony and myself playing.  We were surprised to hear that first place was $250, second place was $75 and third was $25.

Round 1:   Cartoons, State Capitals and Nascar.

Droopy was created in 1943 by Tex Avery.  If you don't remember, here is a short clip for you

Half time:  Musical Axe Men

John Entwistle played for The Who
Stu Cook played for Creedence clearwater
Dusty Hill played for ZZ Top
Berry Oakley played for Allman Brothers
John Taylor played for Duran Duran

At this point in the game, we are in 1st place and feeling pretty good.  Maybe a little to Proud.

Rapid Round 4:  Mexico, Africa and South America

The Mexican state that borders New Mexico and Texas is one that we missed.  We should have said Chihuahua.

Africa's largest country is Algeria and it's smallest is Seychelles.
Argentina is the 8th largest country in the world

That last round was not our strong area.

Rapid Round 5:  Comic book villains, Painters and TV

Obadiah Stane was an arch enemy of Iron Man
Monet painted Impression Sunrise.  You can read more about it here: Enjoy
The name of the garage in "Fast and Loud" was Gas Monkey Garage.  I didn't think I had ever seen this, however by looking it up, turns out.  I've actually watched a couple of these eps. when I couldn't sleep at night.  For those of you who want to see it,  I'll make it easy for you.  Click Here

Final Question is Colleges

What state has 2 Ivy league schools:  That would be New York

We finished tonights game with a score of 77.  This put us in 2nd Place.  With Bar Flies in 1st with only a 6 point lead.  3rd place was Smoke and Mirrors at 58 points.

It was a fun night and the pizza was GREAT!

Thanks to the guys for coming out.  The game is fun, yet the friendship with these guys is Awesome!

That's it for trivia tonight and I know I should get some sleep now.
