It was a pretty slow night for Buffalo Wild Wings nine teams shrunk to six by the end of the game, everyone must have been resting up for Labor Day Weekend.  But we weren’t going to let that stop us from having a good time. The first round went to NCM who cleared their next two closest competitors, DOT and Tincan by two points. The second round went a little different when Munch My Body got twelve points besting NCM, SP’s and DOT, all with eleven apiece. In the final round NCM barely beat DOT by one point with SP’s trailing. In the end NCM won with 35 points to DOT’s 32 and SP’s came in third. See y’all on Wednesday.

Alright, last night was another great night for trivia. We started off with quite the crowd, 13 teams expanding to 16 by the second round. This is the place to be if you want to prove your knowledge against tough competition. In the first round Team Farts A Lot beat The Longhorns and Times Two by a point a piece. Unfortunately for our smelly round one winners, USA-A-OK beat them by one point and Inner Circle by two. It was ok though because Farts A Lot came back in the third round and beat USA by one point and Husker by two. In the end the game went to Farts A Lot with USA and Husker coming in 3rd and 2nd respectively. Alright guys, you know where to be next week.

We finally had a shakeup this week with some different results than the past six or so weeks. Last weeks champs, who had a several week long reign of terror were MIA. The good news is that Captain Voodoo (the team formerly known as Captain Obvious) is back as champs. The first round went to single player Dot who stole the first round beating the next closest competitor by two points. It’d be her only victory of the evening. Second round went to Team Extreme beating Daphne’s Dirty Uncle by one point and Captian Voodoo by two. Third round was a tough race, Captain Voodoo barely beat Top Team by one point and Team Extreme by two. For the game Captain Voodoo and Team Extreme ended up in a tie with Top Team only two behind them. Victory went to Captain Voodoo and second and third place went to Extreme and Top Team. Welcome back Captain.

It was the night before my birthday and all through the house… trivia was happening. Bunds Pharmaceuticals, let me tell you about them. I believe this was their 5th win in a row (under various clever names). I think that qualifies them to write Almanacs or edit Wikipedia or something. Anyway. Congrats to them. It wasn’t their game the entire time though. In a three way tie for round one with Team Dot and Captain Obvious DBA Pocket of Voodoo, the Bunds missed the mark by 19 years. Pocket of Voodoo missed the mark by four years but were edged out by Team Dot who was only two years off. I want to remind everyone that Team Dot was just one lady.

Second round went to Bunds, who was clearly superior, beating Pockets by a significant five points. This saved their asses in the third round where Pockets pwn3d all and came within one point of a game tie with Bunds. In the end it went to Bunds, then Pockets of Voodoo and in third place, Team Dot. Team Extreme and The SP’s showed up again this week Extreme missed a tie for third by only one point.

Next week I’ll be 27, plus also have only that many brain cells left after the bender I have planned for this weekend.

Sorry for the late posting on this one, guys, I lost my score sheet which is like my guide for the recap. My dog ate it, I’ve been following him around for five days. As luck would have it, my efforts were fruitful at about 6am this morning so here we go…

Another busy one at the BWW. I Can’t Believe Harry Potter Died stole the show and upset many children in the process. I wish I could say it was even close but no team could rival I Can’t Believe Harry Potter Died who won every round and the game. Team Ribs and Team Extreme came in second and third and the rest of the pack was close behind them. The SP’s, a team of very young men gave it the old college (high school?) try and took 4th place. Old friends Captain Obvious came in 5th.

Another happening night at Buffalo Wild Wings. The game maintained a 10-11 team field throughout the night. Lucky Kentucky- a one man show- took the first round, barely edging out Vick’s Mutts and DJH. In the second round DJH slipped and Vick’s Mutts won the round with Lucky Kentucky and Top Team right behind. Top Team did poorly in the first round but gained momentum in the second and kept it. In the third round Vick’s Mutts avoided a four way tie with Captain Obvious, Lucky Kentucky and Top Team by one single point. Final results were Vick’s Mutts, Lucky Kentucky and Top Team.

In other news, the BWW crowd is now fully aware of how I feel about people clapping when one of the staff drops something.  Don’t be that guy!

Another busy night at the BWW, we had a ten team field most of the night and it made for some good trivia.

First round went to Captain Obvious with eight points, edging out both PRC and Team G by three points. What can I say about Captain Obvious? They’re consistent winners. Of course they got the Simpsons question wrong, but they come in each week and make a good showing. The second round went a little differently, however. Captain Obvious only managed to match their first round points. They were easily passed up by newcomers The Ruff Necks, who missed the first round but were already tied for 2nd place in the game with two other teams. The Ruff Necks consisted of only two people, one very knowledgeable guy and one pretty girl (his sister?). Third round was a battle royal between The Ruff Necks and Captain Obvious. In the end Captain Obvious pulled through for a Third Round win by one point. One single point. The game went to Captain Obvious with 36 points besting the 33 point Ruff Necks. One wonders how the game would have gone if The Ruff Necks had played the first round. 3rd place went to Team G but they only beat 4th place PRC by one point.

So will The Ruff Necks be back next week and get there early enough to give Captain Obvious some trouble?

The night started off with a field of 13 teams. Round One was a narrow victory for We’re Better Than The Rockies, edging out Element and Team America by one point each. Round Two was another close one, The Stupids came out of nowhere and made ten points to take the round but they weren’t far ahead of The Dummies or We’re Better Than The Rockies. The Third Round is where We’re Better Than The Rockies really broke out and steamrolled to victory winning the round and the game. Team Sphincter and Captain Obvious, who’d both been quiet but steady all game, took second and third respectively.

Well last night started off with most teams struggling in the first round. From the first question, which nobody got, it was a tough round. Sorry teams, while Mikhail Gorbachev’s wife is indeed “Mrs. Gorbachev” your clever answers were not accepted. Round Two was more of the same, nobody did too well except returning team 2 Two Stupids, a mix of a team from weeks passed, The Fab [insert number], and some newcomers they brought. They easily won the round and didn’t slow down in Round Three. This was a week of name changes for another team as well, Captain Obvious from back in the day was down to two people, from six, and relegated themselves to Dazed & Confused. The must not have been too confused because they came in second only to the 2 Two Stupids.

Similar to last week, a newcomer came in and made a third place showing. Thing was the dude was by himself. That’s right, team Me, Myself and I came out and showed he was the smarter man.

Honorable mention goes to a few young teams, The Jizzy J’s who got 17 points in the Third Round, rivaling the round winner, and Team Ramrod who took 4th overall despite missing the First Round entirely. And also Team Fart Knocker who I think was stoned.

Longtime players The Go Cats and Team Beer didn’t come in this week, hopefully they’ll be back next week.

Despite continually apologizing for my allergies all night, and generally being irritable, unenthusiastic and cranky, everyone was understanding and stuck it out through all my bullshit and coughing and we had another fantastic evening of trivia.

Some familiar teams showed up again this week but one newcomer snuck up and placed. Captain Obvious came away with the Gold Medal due to yet another consistent performance. The Fab Four, a derivative of last weeks Fab Three, once again got 18 points in the Third Round to win it and take home the Silver Medal in the game. Newcomers, Team America edged out old faces, The Go Cats, for the Bronze. Sorry Cats, maybe next time. Once again, Team Beer didn’t even bother to show up. Sure, they were there physically, which is appreciated, but they left their trivia at home for the second week in a row.

After a difficult first two rounds you should have seen the glee on the faces as everyone turned in the answer to the Fresh Prince question. The Simpsons question was more of the same. Only one team didn’t get The Simpsons question, claiming that they “don’t watch The Simpsons.” I didn’t understand, just politely nodded. I almost had to end the game early in disgust when a majority of teams claimed that Atlanta, GA played host to the Winter Olympics. But I kept on trucking and the rest of the game went smoothly.

We’ve got close competition among our regular teams each week, it was good to see some fresh blood taking it to the streets.

Returning team The Go Cats took the slow and steady approach, winning some and losing some, to take a third place victory. Unfortunately, for them, they were edged out by another repeat customer: Captain Obvious. But none of it mattered because they were both blown away by The Fabulous Three, Buzzwordz alumni who made 18 of a possible 25 points in the third round. They took a third round victory and easily won the game due to their consistency in all three rounds. Upon closer inspection The Fabulous Three was actually a fabulous five. Three twenty somethings and their parents who joined midway through the first round. I wonder who got the Saved by the Bell question right?

In other news, Team Beer, another set of familiar faces- and winners from last week- couldn’t quite pull it together. Sorry guys, the computer that beat Kasparov was not R2D2.
