After a one week hiatus to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I’m back and I brought a little bit of trivia … I thought you might like it.

With 10 teams coming to the table Monday, JR’s was packed with lots of good friends and good fun. Round one started off with the constant team Sally’s Sluts taking it down with a nearly perfect first round score, though team Where’s The Flannel (WTF) and Team Clark came in close behind, and chased all of round 2 as well. Sally’s Sluts narrowly winning again by only a couple of points and all of the teams within a narrow margin. Naturally this only inspired the other teams, and team WTF tied Sally’s Sluts for the third round and with an amazingly close guess took the round title and second place in the game over all.

Star Wars Fact of the Day: Filming on The Empire Strikes Back had to halt for two weeks due to a wind-surfing competition in Australia that became an annual tradition of sorts for Lucas, and of which he refused to miss.

As always it was an exciting night at Jr’s on Monday. 10 Teams entered, but only 1 could be victorious. The night started off with a near perfect first round win by team Holy Family, a Jr’s favorite and returning round champion. A fast and furious round 2 saw a tie-breaker between Sally’s Sluts and Widow Thompson’s Tarts with Sally’s Sluts barely squeaking by for the win. Round 3 shenanigans had team Holy Family back in the lead and tied with the classic Sally’s Sluts for the game win. In an unfathomably accurate guess on the tie-breaker, team Holy Family takes it home, with Sally’s Sluts taking the silver and the previously unknown Cracker Monster coming in for 3rd.

Star Wars Fact of the Day: The Sith were originally called The Damned, but a British band with the same name debuted in February 1977, forcing Lucas to dub over the word with “Sith” in post-production. To this day, Lucas hates all punk rock.

Hey there Sportsfans! Due to some technical problems last week’s JR’s blog didn’t post so this will be a massive double post - all the JR’s you can handle in half the page space! The competition at JR’s on the 15th was massive. After a previous loss by team Holy Family they gathered a crack team of Trivialists (sure it’s a word, why not) to try for the title against mainstays Sally’s Sluts and Widow Thompson’s Tarts.

The first round had a shocking conclusion with the conglomerated team SRBP squeaking by the competition to take it, but Holy Family’s persistence paid off with a second round tie-breaker win against Sally’s Sluts. Round three was again snatched away by team SRBP for the game win, sending Holy Family into 2nd place and Widow Thompson’s Tarts into 3rd. Though other teams Lucky Bastards, Wrong Number, Awesome?, Robot Vagina Revival, and RC Cola made valiant efforts, none of them had the stamina to go all the way. I hate it when that happens!

On to the next week, Sally’s Sluts came back with a vengeance after missing their place last time making round 1 their proverbial bitch and smacking the competition upside the head with a 2×4 and smashing even The Divine Miss M.

In round 2 Sally’s Sluts only strengthened their lead, edging out team Obamanation for the win and a strong start to round 3 with a strong finish and the game winning sweep. Second place was Obamanation and 3rd was the Bionic Beavers with an equally strong 3rd round showing.

Team Widow Thompson’s Tarts were late, and of course blamed me, but those tardipants made a good showing and promised not to make me wait next week. Team Chocolate also got in late in the game but still managed to get some good points in and smile pretty for the camera. The Chicken Tenders, Somebody Gay, and the classic team Blow all made good attempts too, but it’s hard to stand up to the wrath of a once scorned Sally’s Sluts.

Star Wars Fact of the Day: Return of the Jedi was originally titled Revenge of the Jedi - but later underwent a title change, due to the fact that, according to Lucas, A Jedi would never take revenge.

Jr’s is a bar like no other, so it’s only natural that the patrons are some of my favorites. Mainstays Sally’s Sluts took the first round after a tie-breaker with The Other Boelyn Girls, then blasted the competition in the 2nd round taking it outright.

But the fates, they are fickle ones, and a tough 3rd round had The Other Boelyn Girls and Down with OPP in a face off for the round. Down with OPP took the round, but The Other Boelyn Girls with there ringer baker/computer geek took the title for the night. Sally’s Sluts took 2nd, and Down with OPP took 3rd. But wait, the night’s not over. More highlights included the all female team of the G-Spots spilling a beer and handing in sopping wet answers all night, late comers Team Clark’s insistence that “Kansas” was, in fact, the answer to EVERY question in the 3rd round, the Holy Family’s celebration of being the only team to answer the bonus question and win a round of Japanese Sex Shots (a team after my own heart), many, many futile though much appreciated bribes by numerous teams, team Robert/Wazoo’s valiant attempts to get their answers in on time despite a logistics problem with their runner and her endowments, and the C’mon’me’s, though silent through most of the game, convinced me to buy them around to get them started next week. Now that’s charisma.

Jr’s was a blast as always this Monday. The Not So Pink Ladies took a commanding lead in the first round despite some very tough questions and their penchant for substituting unmentionable body parts and what I’m sure are “affectionate” terms for the hosts when they didn’t have an answer.

In the end (pardon the pun Jr patrons) Dirty Sanchez made a valiant attempt but the Sully Sluts took the last 2 rounds and the GAME WIN!

Highlights of the evening included discussions at length about Brody’s backside, Preacher fumbling with a lipstick drenched mic on his first night out, Possible Side Effects unofficial team captain’s beautiful smile, and Saturday Nigtmare’s constant pessimism upon bringing up their answers only to be outdone by their elation every time they got a smile and nod for the right answer by the hosts. We’re also giving out an honorary shout out to the Lawn Jockies who got 100% of the questions they answered correct, but since they only answered 1 question, were unable to place for the top prizes, however given the collection of empty glasses accumulated at their table, I don’t think it worried them too much.

Star Wars Fact of the Day: The name of Jawa is simply taken from the Lucas family doctor’s name.

Where should we begin tonight’s twisted tale??  One of the greatest things about hosting trivia at JR’s is that you NEVER know what might happen before the end of the show.

Tonight was no exception!!  We had a great turn-out at ol’ Junior’s; even owner Larry McDonald a.k.a. Roxy Rubenstein stuck around for the festivities, interjecting his own brand of flair and spice to the game.  The icing on the cake, I believe, was when Ms. Rubenstein hijacked the laptop, skipped right through the second break and started Round 3 out of nowhere!  It’s a good thing we love you, Larry, and our teams did what they had to do to ride out Roxy’s turbulence!

Then we had some birthday shots-a-flowin’ which tried it’s best keep us from getting those questions right.  These teams were too strong to let a lil’ booze interrupt their play!! Let’s call it ‘managed alcoholism’.  Love you guys!

Then, we had the introduction of Ms. Bermuda Triangle, the latest drag creation made out of JR’s newest floorback.  You are much cuter as a boy, lets keep it that way!

Results: King Prawns ALMOST had enough to place tonight but that 2nd round took its toll… The Gutter Snipes landed 3rd, Robot Vagina in 2nd and Planet Unicorn, some friends from the early days at JR’s, took 1st!  Welcome back, y’all!

See you all next week!!

XOXO

Hey gang, it was another great night down at everyone’s favorite neighborhood bar.  There’s nothing a true player hates more the than a drunk loudmouth stumbling in, reading a question and proceeding to SHOUT OUT the f***ing answer!!!!  The J.R.’s crew knew how to handle Mr. Loudmouth… continual ridicule, embarrassment and degradation until they shut their big YAPPER!!  Nice work crew!

Here’s tonight’s final results: Robot Vagina swept through and landed 3rd.  I’ve never had a team SOO obsessed with how they stood up to the competition the whole game.  We love you still!  McLovin, returning for a 2nd week, scored 2nd overall.  They couldn’t have been happier with their $50 bar tab!  The Gutter Snipes (eww!) apparently surfaced long enough to WIN tonight!! Big surprise… Mustang Sally was involved in the win….

See ya next week!

XOXO

It was another great PACKED night of trivia here at Junior’s…  Gotta love 15+ teams playing…. Made for a fun time!  Welcome T.R. from Brooklyn stopping through on his way to Seattle stopping through and playing some triv. Didn’t do too bad either…

The results: King Prawns came in 3rd, Obe Come Blow Me rocked 2nd and Sally’s Sluts landed 1st!  Can’t wait to see next week’s stats!

This was a very special night for JR’s and Buzzwordz. A fellow nightly entertainer at JR’s father was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Last night, one bar well was dedicated to benefit Lino’s dad and Buzzwordz was there to support the cause. An anonymous patron bought 100 $1 draughts from that well, a very humble gesture, and Buzzword matched 50% of his contribution. Overall, we raised over $1150 to help the family through this tough time.

Trivia was a TON of fun too!! With 16 teams playing, Buzzwordz truly was a show of force! Thanks to all my Qwest folks who came out to play!

The results: IDK my BFF Jill posted 3rd, J.R.’s Urinals aka Dysfunctional (lol, if you hang at J.R.’s, you know what they’re talking about!) came in 2nd and King Prawns came back on top landing 1st! Good job KP!

See you next Monday!

XOXO

It was a great show despite some visual technical difficulties… I promise we will have it fixed for next week’s show!  Thanks to all those who stuck around through the end.  We TOTALLY made it work.  This was a tough set but you guys sure triumphed!

The results:  Mustang Sally hit 3rd, King Prawns (showing up in FORCE tonight!) scored 2nd and  Bo’s Ho’s, some newcomers, ROCKED the whole game landing in 1st!

See you next week all patched up!

XOXO

NO trivia this week this week due to the 7th Anniversary of JR’s.  Here’s to another 7 great years!

The weather couldn’t keep everyone away from trivia last night… The teams that played did awesome!  Gotta love listening to the ‘Who’s the Boss?’ theme song after the Tony Danza question. Great work DJ Jack-e-o.

Three could come out victorious. Trojens in 3rd, R/J in 2nd, and the Buzzards in 1st!  See you sexy punks next week!

XOXO

Kyle

Who knew Xmas Eve would produce this big a crowd.  Thank you to EVERYONE who made it out on the holiday to support the cause! 

As for results, Brown Oysters cracked into 3rd, Italiano into 2nd and King Prawns taking 1st place!

My, my how bout those Broncos?!  Fresh of the Monday Night victory, Buzzwordz rolled into JR’s and the winning streak continued for the lucky… and the smart!  Thanks to all my teams who played this week.

Out of 11 teams, only 3 could come out victorious… 3rd place belonged to the Mutha Cluckas, making it happen by placing again this week.  My King Prawns stopped the competition and snagged 2nd and Turkish Delight showed off their huge…. BRAINS and captured 1st place!

See you cats Monday at 9…

XOXO

It sure is great to be back in Denver on a Monday for trivia.  What a great turnout at one of this town’s HOTTEST bars!!  A HUGE thanks to everyone who showed up, especially to those who I know I will see on Sunday… (ask if you want my info).

My Qwest boys, Just a Qwickie, walked out with 3rd prize.  The ROWDIEST, SEXYEST and CRAZIEST team I have EVER had the pleasure of hosting, The Teabaggers, shined in 2nd while my PEEPS, King Prawns, triumphed again with another 1st place nod!

Can’t wait to see you all next Monday at 9p!

XOXO

With a late start following the Broncos OT mishap, what a night we had!  Eight teams playing and three left VICTORIOUS!

Big thanks to Rob for taking the brunt of my jokes (and for the shots!).  You’re a good sport, bro.  Thanks also to Joe for making sure trivia happened!

In the end, the 40 Somethings locked in 3rd, King Prawn nailed 2nd and Ellen’s Degenerates rocked into 1st place!

See you next Monday!

XOXO

Kyle

So we have now OFFICIALLY moved to MONDAYS at JR’s.  We are still starting at 9 so make sure to come join us!

This week was a good start; we had 9 teams getting in on the action this week.  Big thanks to Jackie O for DJing this week, the bars was a-ROCKIN’!  Through it all,  Newcombers took 3rd, King Prawns took 2nd and XXX took 1st.

Make sure you join us on next Monday for another night of thrills and brews!

SEE YA THERE!

XOXO

Kyle

Well, besides a small power cord issue that needed attention before the show, last night was a blast!  Thanks to all the teams who came out to ROCK THE HOUSE!

As the weather gets colder, it seems like the teams just keep getting sexier and sexier!  King Prawns taking third the week, Chip, the Car Guy sneaking into second and Seven Grooms for 7 Brothers snagging first.

See you this Weds.@ 9!

XOXO

Whats up my sexys?

JR’s is by far the sexiest bar in all of Denver, I must say!  Thanks to all who played and to those who just watched, I know you will be players in no time… Last night’s trivia was fairly tough but it was no match for a lot of my de-lovelys playing it!

Nice job to Gimme More!, running home with a 3rd place win!  They left Emily all by herself at the end but I’m sure they were happy to share the $50 bar tab… Reunited and It Feels So Good grabbed the silver medal and Hot Pockets, back together this week TRIUMPHED to earn a #1 placement!

See you hot messes next Weds!

XOXO
