What a night of arguing about the questions!  As you can probably see from the title, there were questions about what’s really in a Purple Hooter Shooter.  One of the arguments was that it comes in a big glass, well really, that’s not a shooter, so you’re thinking of something different.  The majority of websites I looked on all said the ingredients were; vodka, lime juice, and raspberry liquer or Chambord (one point for the bartending staff!).  But way to decide we should just do shots to try it out!!

Another dispute was about the Oliver! question regarding the Academy Awards.  A team disputed that Beauty and the Beast was also rated G and a musical, which is correct.  The part about their arguement that was wrong was that Beauty and the Beast was nominated, but actually didn’t win the award for Best Picture.

Someone that wasn’t even playing trivia argued about the question regarding Shakespearean plays.  He said that King John was not written by Shakespear.  “The Troublesome Reign of King John” was an Elizabethan play that gave Shakespear inspiration to write “The Life and Death of King John.”  So while he didn’t write the original, William Shakespear did write a play about King John.

The one that everybody argued about and they were actually correct on was about Tom Cruise.  It’s correct, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were first in a movie, The Days of Thunder, in 1990.

Ok, on to the good stuff…  At the beginning of the night, we had just one team.  Now really, I just can’t have that.  Last week, The Short Bus, was hoping they could win by default, being the only team playing.  While I like you guys and all, that would just be really damned boring.  So I wandered out to the patio, which was about to close, and recruited some people.  Surprisingly, I got three other teams to join.  While we had teams sitting closer tonight, they could see me better, they were between speakers and couldn’t hear me as well.  I think we’re going to have to pick the lesser of two evils on this one guys.

                               

 

   This was week nine.  We have one more regular week before the showdown!  The winning team this week was some new girls, well one had played one time last year.  So really, yeah, they’re new.  Cooters won with a two point lead against the rest.  Like a lot of the chicks who come in and play, I was guessing they wouldn’t stay the whole game, but they did!  I guess they really wanted to get their eyebrows waxed!

The Short Bus came in with 18 points.  I’m sorry guys, I would have let you win if I could.  But really, I was tired and would have been totally bored and sleepy if it were just you and I playing.  I had an absolute great time getting to know you guys though.  But really, did we have to do so many shots?!  On the D.L., I was late for work this morning, as I was sleeping off those drinks!

How cute that they dedicated their team, Brown Dog Co, to their dog.  Actually, I’m not sure if that’s what it means or not.  It was totally awesome that you guys came in from the deck and joined us.  And even better, that you guys stayed the whole game and played.  In all of the arguing, I’m sorry that I totally forgot to get your picture.   Please come back next week so we can take a snapshot!

 

The Barney Killers ended a day of golfing by drinkin’ it up at Ogden Street South.  They also were all about the Purple Hooter Shooters and even purchased a round of them.  Please come back again guys, I know you had a great time and want to do this again!!

 

 

Well guys, I had a totally fun night- much less lame than last week.  Once again, next week will be our last regular week, then we have the showdown.  Here’s the rundown:  If your team has ever won a game, you are invited to the tournament, and have an opportunity to win $700.  The tournament will 7/16/08- same time- same place.

If you want to look at the scores, I’ll post them on my blog on myspace.  www.myspace.com/MarciBuzzwordz  you need to be my friend in order to look at it though. 

See you guys next week!!
