Soooo good to see familiar faces back this week at Old Chicago in Wheat Ridge!  I thought you had abandoned me after my two-week hiatus.  We had nine solid teams from start to finish and the competition was good.  Thanks for the much better team name effort this week too.  I will start giving out beers for the best team names each week to keep this up. 

First round was tight with everyone, but scores were low, so I figured when More Popular than Jesus (pronounced Hay-Seus) managed to remember that the one-hit wonder band’s name had Radicals in it, I would give them half a point.  Turned out, that was the difference in the round so they gladly took their pitcher of beer!  Always happy to help. 

MPTJ held on for second overall last night and get my award for Most Improved Team in 2008 so far. 

The overall winners also had the best team name of the night.  I have to mention that because I usually give them hell for such bad team names.  So, thank you, Beef Recall - It’s What’s for Dinner!  And, congrats on the big win.  Missed you guys!

New team, Polar Opposites, stayed no more than a couple points behind the leaders all night, but couldn’t quite get to the top.  With only two players, 3rd place is not bad.  Hope to see you guys back.  Beers are on me if you come next week!  And I will get your picture!

The Clean Up Hitters returned but short some players this week.  I appreciate the enthusiasm from the young team as they reminded me all night that most of the questions involved things that occurred before they were born.  (The one on the right, mostly.)

Team Superbad made a return appearance, and had a disabled member that they actually made to bring up the answer!  I was appalled.  It must have been a rough night for them.  ;-)

Welcome goes out to new team BMF:

Come back next week and play again!  See, it’s fun!

Wrong Week to Stop Sniffing Glue turned out to be true, as Josh and Molly didn’t manage to place.  Competition is tough at Old C’s WR!

As always, it was great to have Team X in the house!

And, Unfashionably Late, as they were, would’ve done better had they arrived on time.  See you guys next week at 8!

So, next week is the St. Patrick’s Day kickoff party at Old Chicago in Wheat Ridge!  Be sure to wear your best GREEN.   There will be cool specials and a new mini-tour so I better see everyone there next Wednesday at 8pm! 

’til then!

Jen
