I’m not going to lie, I was a little sad that I had to work tonight because I got about 5 offers for free tickets to the Rockies Game tonight.  Normally who cares if I miss a game, right?  But the Indians are in town!  Again, who cares- right?  Well people- ME!  I care!  Go Tribe! 

Anyhow, I ended up not really caring that much as the Rockies kicked Cleveland’s arses.  10-2.  Must be the altitude.   Indeed, I am glad I came to work and made money instead of spending about a hundred thousand dollars at the ball park. 

Well enough about me, let’s talk winners! 

First of all if you got a prize, thank your lucky stars!  Silly ol’ me couldn’t find the gift certificates when it came to prize giving time.  I suspected perhaps they fell out of my pocket when I took a trip to the powder room.  (to powder my nose of course, as ladies don’t actually produce waste or have any sort of bodily functions or anything of that nature).   Anyhow, the gods were smiling down upon you people, they were just lying on the floor!  It even looked like someone was checking them out and decided just to leave them there!   AWESOME!!!!

So Epitome of Hyperbole- you my friends are the first in line to say thanks Barb for being careless with our prize and dropping it on the floor.  Sorry guys.  I would have figured something out if things didn’t turn out the way they did. 

Stumpy-  I wonder where this name comes from.  You always seem stumped when you come up with the right answer, which is strange to me because you usually do come up with the right answer!  Second place, nice work!

Ace and George-  Well I finally figured out where this name comes from, after about the 4th time you told me.  I’ll tell upstate New York you said hi Georgie. 

W.a.i.t Divide and Conquer- That was your name this week right?  I couldn’t find the paper that had your correct name on it anywhere.   How much longer do I get to see your smiling faces at trivia?  Antarctica trip is when exactly?

Well folks, have a great week!  I will be touring parts of the midwest/east that are not currently submerged in a special blend of hydrogen and oxygen next week, so I will not see y’all until July!  Happy June!

Barb

Now you guys know I am pretty lenient when it comes to giving you guys credit for your answers.  I must confess that I feel like a little bit of a sell out right about now as I feel passionately about processed cheese.  Sad but true.  It really has to do more with the obsession with hot pretzels I have developed throughout the years, and nothing goes better with a hot pretzel than some good processed cheese, like oh say CHEEZ WHIZ!  NOT I reapeat NOT- EZ CHEESE!!!!!  Totally different thing people- TOTALLY different thing.   But of course I buckled under pressure when you put up your unified front and chanted Cheez Whiz.  I’m so ashamed. 

So I was thinking one of you could maybe make it up to me by buying me a new computer or something so we can start on time.  I think that’s only fair. 

How about you Baked Mac and Cheese?  You have cheese in your name, you should know better than anyone there is a difference.  And you keep coming in first place winning those gift certificates, so you probably have some extra cash laying around.

2nd Gear Gespato- So nice detective work trying to guess my exact birthday for the tie breaker.  The me getting married to Ricky Schroeder must have tipped you off.  I still can’t believe you guessed my due date, which put you in second place!  Fantastic!

Team Antarctica- All I have to say that the severed head/rastafarian/eyes bugging out balloon that kept handing me your answers was very creeepy:)  And don’t leave before you get your gift certificate next time!!  Glad I caught you on the way out,  nice work!

Smartypants-I’m glad you guys decided to stay for the thrid round, you did really well!  I hope to see you again!

Bubb Rubb-  We missed you last week, great to see you back and always with a few new team members!

Zoso- I always like it when a new team poses a threat to the regulars.  Keeps ‘em on their toes.  You did well, I hope to see you again!

Frisky Penguins- I can’t believe those crazy Antarcticans stole your mascot.  They did change it to a severed head however after you told them what was up. 

J&J- I must say, you guys will totally dominate when you are able to come for the whole game!  I’m happy you always manage to squeeze us into your Tuesday!

Rockheads- Actually I suppose the same goes for you guys.  Two things for next week, we start at 7, and tell the rest of your team not to leave you all by your lonesome!  You did great, but its always good to have back up!

Thanks for coming all, and we will see you next week.  7 pm SHARP!  Ha ha. 

Well hello out there in Trivialand!   It’s Barb your friendly trivia host!  I’m very tardy with my blog this week indeed- my aplologies!  

Well, to those of you out there at Lakewood OC’s- I kept my promise, we started at 7!!!!  Thank you for your patience last week with the “technical difficulties!”  Any suggestions you guys have for me, keep ‘em coming! 

And now a few messages to the players…

Uhhh… Space Out - This dynamic duo took the grand prize… AGAIN!!!!  Nice work gentlemen.   Don’t forget Keith this week.

Reverend Right Revival - You didn’t even know trivia EXISTED!  And yet you walk away with $25!  Woo-hoo!  Come back next week, you guys can try to steal the prize from the undisputed champions! 

Dungeon Daddy Day Care - I’m so glad you came back to take away 3rd prize, and with lady friend!  Purrrrrrrrr………:) 

Hazmatters - Ok, next week make sure I get you some sheets so your first 5 correct answers are going to count! 

All Alone and Terrible at Trivia/Not Alone Anymore, but still Terrible at Trivia - Well first of all, you were doing quite well while waiting for your comrades.   I will let it slide that the rest of your team wasn’t there til late, but only because for the first week ever, I was on time.   Just don’t let it happen again:) 

Sexy Heels - All I really need to say here is ME-OW!  

Bubb Rubb and Little Sis -  I think I have it figured out who the Lil Sis is, but which one of you is Bubb and which one is Rubb?  

J & J - Sorry about the mix-up last week!  But as usual, you just waltz right in, get all the points!!!! 

Double D’s and Baked Mac and Cheese -  Actually you didn’t even come, but I missed you:(  Hope to see you next week?

85 degrees in the middle of April, I don’t think anything could make this day better… Oh wait there is something,  Buzzwords Trivia Night at the Lakewood Old Chicago!  We are heading into our third week and looking forward to moving out to the patio, and although we didn’t think it possible,  Tuesdays are even more fun at 1st and Union!
