At least that’s my hopeful prediction.  You guys didn’t give up after a disastrous, lowest-scoring ever, first round, and the Rockies are on fire after defending Torrealba.  Let’s hope it’s a great June and July for everyone! 

Fifteen teams this week and a full house as always means that I will be awarding a 3rd place prize pitcher of beer of your choice from now on.  We just need to maintain this consistent number of teams and I’m happy to pitch in for all your efforts! 

Round one this week went to the “newbie” team of the Lost Planet Airmen.  Technically, they aren’t new and one of the team members has been on a winning team before, but I have been trying to talk the other team members into playing for months and they were reluctant until this time.  After getting the early beer prize, they enthusiastically competed to the end and liked it.  Plus, they are the first ever winners of the third place Pitcher of Choice prize.  I expect to see you guys again (gotta get that free beer!) and I will get your picture. 

Round two was a complete turnaround from Round one and the Squirrel Masters team took over from there.  They won the overall prize with authority, six points better than their friendly rivals, the We’ll Never Concede team which took 2nd overall.  Way to make a comeback!

We’ll Never Concede (like Hillary, it was just a matter of time)

Tonights TNON went to the Outlaws to Bee team for their creative use of the Buzzwordz Bee and as a congratulations on the engagement of two regular players!

Team names were good all-around on this night.  My personal favorite was Friends of Jen.  I don’t actually know these people, but it was a nice try for the free beer.  They became rather bitter, however, when I didn’t award them the beer prize and the rest of the night, they wrote down NO LONGER Friends of Jen.

Our buddy, usually referred to as the Illiterate Peasant, flew solo again this time, but didn’t do quite as well as last time.  Thanks again, though, for the great answer sheets!  I really love having those!!  This week he deemed himself Beavis and Bama do America.

I’m sad to hear that one half of the Indiana Jones and the Frozen Cheesecake team will be moving, temporarily, to Montrose.  :-(  I hope that doesn’t mean the end of you guys playing!  I will sorely miss your hilarious answers to those questions you don’t have a good guess on.  Hope to see you back!

The usual TNON winners were not happy at all that I made a different selection this week.  See, normally, I call out the names and let the crowd decide by applause.  And, of course, when I did get to calling out team names with the first round scores, theirs - Virgins are only good once - got the most hoots and hollers as usual.  They got some free beer anyway.  I’m just so darn nice.  You guys have it easy.  All of you.  Just wait til I go on vacation or something.  

Virgins are only good once

As for the rest of the teams, we’ll here they are:

Boozers

Clover

FUPA

Head of Security

That wraps up the first Wednesday of June trivia at Old Chicago in Wheat Ridge!  A great summer is on the way.  I can feel it!

See you guys next week!
