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?

Tonight on a last minute thought, Steve and I decided to get out and play some trivia.  Mostly we went out to relax and drink.  So we goofed off while playing trivia at Las Trojas.  We did actually get a sports question right and the Math question.  I loved the litature question tonight, mostly because I remember reading "Black Beauty" many years ago.  By half time, we were no where near being a winning team, so we didn't sweat it. 
Half time scores were:
Angry Birds with 34
The A Team with 38
Vandelay Industries with 42  (This is a new group to the Trojas trivia)

We moved along very well in the Rapid rounds with a 15 on round 4 and a perfect 18 for round 5.  Now it was on to the Final Question of the night.  As she read the question, I knew that Steve recalled the event as he was telling me everything that went on, yet he couldn't think of the man's name no matter how hard he tried.  Since we hadn't placed by half time, we wrote the only thing there was to write on our paper and turned it in! 

With that answer, we weren't thinking we would even place, so we were chatting and enjoying the end of trivia where all the teams are announced. When they called Romero's Rejects for 3rd place, we were so shocked that I totally missed who came in 2nd place and any of the score points! However, Vandelay Industries took 1st Place with the help of that little lady being held up in the picture above :)
So that is it for this night of trivia, OH wait, the correct answer was: Archbishop Tutu for the final Question of the night.
Sorry I can't remember the rest and I'm sure that the A Team was in there some where, as they were in 1st place going into the Final Question.  I'm just not sure how they did as to if they were the ones in 2nd or not.  Maybe someone else knows from that night?
See you all next time, or in this case, in a little while when I pull the notes to write the next weeks trivia results :)

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 :)
