Tuesday Trivia is Not For The Weak!
Anyone else a little sore these days? I think we are feeling the effects of all that post Jonas shoveling! We had teams at venues across Maryland and Virginia come out tonight to stretch some mental muscle and give those shoveling muscles a break! Have to stay in shape for the World Series coming up on Saturday. Remember if you were invited to the playoffs which had a snowy demise, you are invited to the World Series.
Another season is in the books at Capitol City Brewing Company in Shirlington, and it ended with another win by our house champions: the Capital Hillbillies! They overcame a slight hiccup in Round 1 to move up to second place heading into the final question, but they were the ONLY team to gain points on that last question, and snuck into the top spot. Capitol City Goofballs took second, with Gus Polinski and the Kenosha Kickers in third. We’ll kick off Season 13 with a question on Car Parts! ~ Matt

Isnt that cunning? Hardy, har har… See, I got jokes! 😉 The other thing I had tonight was some seriously intense questions! I would expect nothing less from our last Tuesday night game before the World Series! Have to make sure you all stay in ship shape, razor edged intelligence, with lightning 246 reflexes. I expect big things from you all on Saturday! Please keep in mind that if you got a layoffs invite you have an automatic in to the World Series since Jonas was a kill buzz.Our final tonight was the stuff of Dreams for Newton’s Minion, he used his classes on Chaos Theory to propel him on up to 2nd from 5th. As a solo! Nicely done! 1st went to Comfortably Dum who were one of two teams to get the final correct, but they were already in 1st so it wasn’t as exciting 😉 Rounding out the pack in 3rd was Wiser But Still Dead. Next week we will be starting out with a first category of Grease! Can’t wait! For the record, the hand jive is absolutely not jazz hands, and totally allowed. We should do a first question where you have to successfully demonstrate the hand jive.. hmmm.. ~Samantha
Well we managed to find the right paths to get to trivia here tonight at Cugini’s as we had a packed house for our game! Keep and eye out for ice tonight as you head home, and good luck at the World Series this Saturday, I’ll see you there!
Here are the results of tonight’s game:
You Never Know in 1st
That’s What She Said in 2nd
Fried Brains in 3rd
Our first category for next week is U.S. Constitutional Amendments. ~ Ronnie
As we try to recover from the blizzard, we still managed to have a nice game of trivia at the Orioles Nest. Parking was a nightmare because the snow took almost half the spots in the lot, but we managed to get it figured out, thankfully. We started out with an audio question about 90’s cartoon theme songs, which ended up being a fun one. We also had another really fun audio question for the second round, this time in the category of impersonations. The question played Jimmy Fallon’s impression of Bob Dylan, singing a cover of “Hotline Bling”, which was such an awesome version of the song. I honestly didn’t realize it was an impression the first time I heard it, because of how perfect Fallon’s impression is.
We had ourselves a great pre-season game at Tilted Kilt! Teams shook off the snow, and some trivia rust, as we geared up for World Series XII on Saturday. Teams sized up the competition and battled it out for our least-important victory of the year!
I must say, Bill has got some nice teams that come to play at Quincy’s South! I filled in for him last night and had a great time. There was even a battle for 1st place between two teams that was fun to watch! After the final question was answered, this is how it ended… In 3rd place was If We Lose the Terrorists Win! After a great game and a 1 point difference, 2nd place went to Catching Planes! I think they were sweating it a little bit, but after round four they retook the lead and never looked back, 1st place belonged to Uncle Jack!! They picked “Star Trek Captains” (just fom the t.v. shows) for next weeks winners choice that will start off Season 13 at Quincy’s South, and good luck to everyone this Saturday at the World Series!!! ~ Jon J
