The good news is that the snow might be done for the season.  And the Avalanche did win the first round of the playoffs.   Otherwise, it’s been a rough April for the Rockies and the Colorado fans.  There is no explanation for the oddities of the trivia last night so let’s just look forward to a beautiful May (my birthday month, so it should be) and the Rockies getting their bats going. 

It was an odd night at Old Chicago Wheat Ridge, and it was crazy busy again at the same time!  Great energy last night people!  You make it so easy to go to work.

The team name of the night wasn’t left to the folks vote as I usually do.  I made an executive decision instead.  The winner was… Team X but…we should win for sticking with “X” and not selling out for a pitcher of beer.  For not selling out, they got the pitcher.   

Nice work.  But, no, it won’t fly again. 

Last’s weeks killer one-man team, the Illiterate Peasant returned with reinforcements, this time they called themselves Montezuma’s Revenge (what is the deal with the digestive issues? see past posts for an explanation) and started out with a perfect (including the bonus point) first round.  It looked like it might be a scary night for everyone else, but the other 13 teams came on strong in the second round and they fell to 4th overall. 

That’s the elusive “Illiterate Peasant” on the left.

The always competitive, 99% of the time all-female team Albert Hoffman’s Last Trip, came on strong in the second round and won the tiebreaker to get the beer.   New team, the Undergarment Girls were their main competition for that round and the remainder of the game.  Though the Albert Hoffman team won the third round, on the very last question, they tied for the top overall score and then lost the final tiebreaker to the Girls.  Great competition last night!!

The Undergarment Girls, they almost left before it was over. 

Albert Hoffman’s Last Trip.  It was women vs. women last night.  Sorry you missed it.

Just barely finishing out of the winnings, was Loose Lips “Bruce”sters.   Another good team name from you guys.   Two points behind the winners is not bad at all.   See you next week!

The Guys at the Bar returned to their old bar stools and their old name, but not their old dominance.  They definitely need the ladies back to help now.  They definitely got beaten badly by women last night.  (I’m sure they liked it actually.)

Cleverly named Answers and Copying Answers threw me off at first.  See, Answers was the first team name when they had less than six players, then when the rest of their friends showed up, they split into Answers and Copying Answers and I was confused, momentarily.  Anyway, regardless of the copying (or not) they just enjoyed the odd trivia about white people and birds and didn’t mind not winning much.

Our usual first round winners jinxed themselves this week, I think, with their team name, Winners don’t chug the free pitcher before the 2nd round starts.  This was the first week in at least three that they didn’t win that pitcher.  Next time, new team name.

The Wings team, yes, named for the evil Red Wings, actually was sneakily named by a rogue member of the team.  I’ve been informed that he will no longer be invited.  We shall see.

That’s him on the far right.  Naughty.

With a strong showing but only two players makes it tough with competition like last night, the Cheezits team did well, but like the Rockies, just can’t quite close the deal these days.

Team Towelie, hiding in the back, made a strong showing but it was tough against the ladies last night.

New teams Spastic Burps and In it 2 win it almost made it to the end but not quite.  Thanks for playing and hope to see you again soon!

Spastic Burps

In it 2 win it

Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of Yo Mamma, they finished quite strong after starting in the 2nd round nearly winning the third round.  Next time I’ll get you guys.

So, thanks again for an outstanding night of trivia!  The snow waited until today so things are looking up.  Here’s to a great May! 

See y’all next week,

Hey everyone we had a great third week in existence over here at Old C’s!  We had 5 teams that played throughout with the Girl’s Team coming up victorious in the end!  The Lone Rangers and the Squirrel Bandits played a very tight game however and tied for that next spot, with Pimp Squad only 2 points behind!! Great close game! 

We will by many people’s request be starting at 8pm next week like the flyer said, I feel it’s better for everyone.  Hopefully that means more people can come so bring your friends, tell your friends! We can make this a great way to end the ever so coveted “hump” day!!! Thanks again

Challenging yet so satisfying. No I’m not talking about my love life, but last nights trivia session. It turned out to be a great evening for everyone that played as copius amounts of liquid beverage refreshment was poured. Even the Vice Squad showed up to see what the commotion was.

We had five teams show and the top three teams by the end of the night were only a few points apart from all claiming the grand prize, a 25$ gift certificate provided by our hosts.

The winning team, The Guys Over There, trounced everyone in the second round and by the third round were holding a three point lead to grab the final prize. I have to give them a round of applause for the best answer of the night. The question had to do about three King Kong movies, and their answer was, “Three girls, one Kong”. I about fell out of my chair. Classic..

Now I know Im gonna get some feedback on the winning team because the team of Harlem Crackheads, actually did win, but since they are employed by the bar, they couldnt take the prize. So we will officially recognize them as coming in second place, but we know who the real winners are.. Mike and Megan are officially on the clock as the best brother/sister team since Reggie and Cheryl Miller played basketball in college and the pros. If you have any questions about transvestites, ask Mike, he knows. Megan really knows her trivia, good partner if you can get her.

The last team that came in the money was the fabulous looking duo of McMom/McDaughter. If anyone can get me their numbers, that would be a beverage to that person. Lol. They have come in almost every week and its always a treat to have them playing as both of them know their trivia well. For the second week in a row, the lovely ladies have come oh so close to winning the main prize, but I do make sure that they are well taken care of with beverages. Next week I know that they will come in first place as long as the second round doesnt do them in like it has the previous three weeks.

Thanks for everyone showing up and not giving me to much grief on the questions. I cant wait to see everyone there again next week as we kill more brain cells.
