QUIZ RECAP

So apparently there are not 1, not 2, but 3 Lorelei Gilmores on Gilmore Girls. After rephrasing the question 2 or 3 times, we decided on "Name the Actress who played the Lorelei Gilmore who is approximately 40 years old".... I say "we" because all the losers who know so much about Gilmore Girls knew exactly which Lorelei Gilmore I was asking about after the first question, but kept making me clarify.

Also, it turns out that several teams at OB's actually read these posts that I write. Feedback has included "It's weird" "You're creepy" and "I like chicken nuggets too."

This is precisely the fine line I'm attempting to traverse.

So what happened at trivia tonight? Well Rachel and Megan showed up late because they were at "pilates" class. I believe both of them were also drunk. But the Greens and the Grants were in full swing. And maybe, just maybe, I had a 60 year old man show me his nipples. He is also from Iowa, so was very certain about the "corn" question. Year of the Rat crushed everyone tonight. Lisa and Michelle and Dad were in tonight. Once Lisa stormed out and didn't come back for 3 weeks because I asked a question about Disneyland rides and she disagreed with the very specific source of information that I was quoting. It was hilarious. Also, last week Sean asked if I would accept the answer "boner"... it doesn't even matter what the question is, the answer is yes. Sean also went to Oxford and has a Phd.

It's hammer time:

Courtney! Sheepishly answering my questions about how lame lawyers are, never once mentioning that she has read my horrendous trivia recaps where I talk about her playing water polo. Side bar: I watched women's water polo at the Olympics, and those people are terrifying.  Courtney is going to New York next week and I will miss her. But fear not! The hammers will roll on! Maynaykyo has informed me that there are no a's or y's or u's in her name. I'm calling this bluff. Munuku went to school with Disneyland Lisa, who is married to Boner Sean, whose dad showed me his nipples. They're not even on the same teams. Boom-- 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon if I've ever seen it.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Sabeen (Arabic, not German) assures me that they will be here next week, even though they will be terrible. Unclear whether or not her and Andre are dating, but we all think they might be. Wouldn't it be awkward if I wrote that on a post knowing both of them were going to read it?

Wallets of El Segundo in third place?! Aaaaaand Kitty Kat and Shannon showed up too? It's like the 4th of July and Thanksgiving in one. However, I celebrate neither of those holidays. Shannon has been MIA from trivia due to a dodgeball related pinky finger injury (I couldn't make that up if I tried)... and Kitty Kat has blamed "summer" for her absence.

After round 3 I was handed a folded up napkin that I hoped was a treasure map, but it wasn't. It simply said "The college kids in the corner are cheating"...

The college kids then turned in their answer sheet for the round and asked me, "Do those old people think we're cheating? Because we're not, we're just playing Pokemon GO"

Grown ups playing trivia are funny.

Jesse Can't Wait in da house. Someone's gotta come 4th place. Womp womp.

Plan B back from the dead! Although might be a while until we see them again. They were truly miserable handing in their truly miserable answer sheets round after round. I would make a music round just for them, but their attendance is too fickle. Say what you want about Stir Fry guy, but he gives me the least amount of grief out of all of them. I regularly get booed, but Plan B are one of only three teams to actively give me the middle finger throughout the evening.

Hmmm... I suppose that's all I remember from this glorious night of trivia madness. As always, I hope I've made you all feel very uncomfortable.

See you next week!

QUIZ RECAP

Sooooo.... I'll let you figure out from the pictures which team proudly declared that they were going to win the quiz before it started, and then... well... not so much. It's a shame they covered their faces because they're super pretty. Speaking of which, I'm fairly certain OB's pub and grill in Manhattan Beach has the best looking trivia teams in all of Los Angeles.

The top 1 and 2 teams tonight had both taken the last few weeks off to hang their heads in shame. Trouble In Paradise brought the biggest team I've ever seen, and it finally worked out in their favor. They're usually amazingly good at coming in 4th place. They did it 4 weeks in a row at one stage... But not tonight! Jen is headed to Australia next week and needed a first placed send off. She asked an Aussie local at the bar what she should do while she's in Sydney, and he told her to sleep with as many Australians as possible. Sound advice. Jeanine rocked it like a hurricane as always, and they crushed the chili cheese fries round by being the only team to successfully name the one white girl on the USA gymnastics team.

For as much as I was rooting for Charles to lose again (especially because he brought 2 Germans with him)... He somehow managed to pull off a third place showing. Well done. I played Motley Crue and George Harrison for him in celebration.

I wanted to talk about Stranger Things with Rachel but she's only seen episode 1. C'mon Rachel, pick up the pace! "I can't binge watch" "You're the worst 20-something I know." Then she thought a Fellbeast was a Nazgul. It was all downhill from there.

Jesse Can't Wait finally brought Amy back and for once didn't finish dead last. 2nd place! Cody also finally brought his girlfriend with him. I told her she wasn't as pretty as the girl he brought with him last week. We both agreed to never see or speak to one another ever again.

I only got booed twice today, which is less than normal. Apparently no one in this country has ever heard of the Swingometer and I was a dickhead for having asked about it. Also, far too many teams wrote General Custard instead of Custer which is a poor reflection of the American schooling system. But I allowed it. Custard is always worth a point in my books.

Rock on as always gangstas, see you next Wednesday.
