QUIZ RECAP

All our registered teams were out for blood tonight! In a friendly, sportsmanlike way, of course, but still, it was vicious! Everyone was competing for the highest possible score.

For the first half of the game, Knobheads and Bartop were head-to-head, doubling down on a round each, with Knobheads only a few measly points behind. One itty bitty flop caused Knobheads to blow a double-down for Round 5. But then out of the blue, Hop On My Dad's Knee doubled down two 10-point rounds in a row -- BAM! -- giving Bartop a run for their money . Ultimately, it was Bartop that emerged victorious, with an additional bonus point for being the only team to know Rosalynn Carter's first name (I accepted "Mrs. Carter," though all that does is imply Beyonce was a FLOTUS).

Honorable mention to Mann Fam for keeping their Knobhead neighbors on their toes, and to J-Dog 2.0 for only wanting to participate in select rounds -- he still had a great time!

Boondocks was the last place your Quizmaster hosted before vacation, and the first place she hosted coming back -- and you guys never disappoint!

Knobheads held their lead all throughout the game, but they had to work hard to keep it that way! Hop On My Jetski wasn't too far behind them, blowing Round 4 but obliterating everyone else in Round 6 with their jazz performer knowledge. Birthday Girl Debora and her crew rang in 45 right, claiming third place and proving sexy never ages!

Tonight's drinking round was meant as a twisted coping mechanism for your Quizmaster -- she wanted drawings of what that New Mexico coyote in the middle of the road on the looked like before she hit it at 80 mph. Hop On My Jetski earned themselves a free round of beer (Team Lit was a very close second, but their coyote reminded me more of the actual aftermath), but all drawings have been hung up in my office cubicle to help me deal with the fact that I'm now a murderer, temporarily car-less until my bumper's replaced, and $500 in the hole.

A few rounds were a little tricky tonight (hopefully no one's scarred by American Typewriter and Courier fonts after this), but everyone did fantastic! It was ultimately the Knobheads who reigned supreme by correctly doubling down in the last round. Bartop took second, and Hop On My [Dad's Knee] went home with third. But hey, even teams of 1 and 2 did surprisingly well for only having one brain to pick -- come back and try again next week, and bring more of your people!

All in all, it was a fun-filled night. Everyone told their friends, neighbors, mothers, brothers all to come to Boondocks for Game 3 (go Warriors!), and they all stuck around for King Trivia afterwards! Let's keep this up for at least three more consecutive weeks! Whoo!
