Week 3 Season 1 2009

This week we can all thank the trivia Gods that Drew and Grill were back. Trivia was fun again.

Drew and Grill actually know what trivia is; not random songs from someone who hates mainstream's Ipod.

Members in Attendance: Cindy, Steve-know, Travis, and Trivia-Kari
Additional Support: Pancho, Buchan, Mike, Owen (sp?, sorry)

Round 1

Meh, Travis did ok. We knew some stuff, and I made up other things.

Ok, we knew what a neat drink was, but I know that he knows better.

Apparently elephants know how to step around landmines now. Good for them. I still am glad that Dumbo's mom ate it in Chapter 1. I would have done it if I was there. Here's how it would have gone down:











I don't care, if I catch PHDTS cheating, and every one of them has their mom hugging them, I think we know what's going to happen. Who let a redkneck write this thing anyways?

Now we're off topic, I was talking about elephants.

Keeping with the animal theme, apparently grizzly bears can run the same speed as horses. Now I don't know if every horse is a quarter horse, but just to be sure I found this.

Also, there was a question about what small asteroids are called. The answer given was meteorites. We knew that meteorites are bits of matter that have fallen to the earth from outer space. And we were wrong. Oh wait......

Ok, apparently we don't know what asteroids are:

http://www.answers.com/topic/asteroids
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/asteroid

Asteroid:
Astronomy
Any of numerous small celestial bodies that revolve around the sun, with orbits lying chiefly between Mars and Jupiter and characteristic diameters between a few and several hundred kilometers. Also called minor planet, planetoid.

But apparently a small asteroid is a meteorite:

Meteorite
n.

A stony or metallic mass of matter that has fallen to the earth's surface from outer space.

So is an asteroid not small until it falls to the earth?

Sorry to be a dick, but this seemed wrong to the physicists at the table (a.k.a. me and the other Steve).

The correct answer is that small asteroids are made fun of in the shower in all team sports until they grow old enough to get away from their parents who made them play the sports in the first place. Then they start serial killing.


Round 2.

A 10.
I mean to say that we got a 10, because we knew all of the answers.

We got a 9.5, as did our honourable brethren the Bi-Polar Bears.

It was a tie for first, BSB got 10, and so did Push Her Down the Stairs! Well holy shit! Cell phone check!!!! Even though they claim the angry Hobbit is not on their team anymore I still feel like their team is forever scarred, and if they want to be respected they should change their name to something like: "We Haven't Been Caught Cheating a Shit Load of Times", or "We're Worthy of a Slight Nod From Teams That Don't Cheat".

Round 3

(drunken joke that was here before, but made no sense is now removed)

Anyways, we were all delighted to find out the Shakespeare, Henry VIII, Lucille Ball, and Winston Churchill all had red hair. In the case of Churchill that's like asking what color Michael Rosenbaum's hair is.

Also, apparently women's brains shrink when they are prego. And by "apparently" I mean "oh fuck" ( which is not to imply that trivia Cindy needs to be pushed down the stairs) (Fuck I hate giving them a shout out; they cheat).

Round 4

Awesome! It's songs from when we were kids!!!!!

We enjoyed this tons. However, you missed some goodies:

Thundercats (fuck yeah)
My Secret Identity
Suntops and the Smoggies (shitty)
He-man
Hercules
Rocket RobinHood

Just saying............


Round 5

Things happened.

Round 6

The number one thing that I learned this round was that Alexis knows about this blog. Hmmmmm. If I had something shitty to say to her, I would say it. And I'm not kissing ass, I just don't really have anything bad to say. I mean, her team sucks, and it always will, but I feel like I need more. I don't know...... ok here's one: Are you even studying here? What are you getting a degree in? Are you doing the advanced program where you skip a bachelor's and go straight to a P.H.D? How many of my beer dollars have gone into paying for you to attend Communist Fan Club meetings in Cuba?

Anyways, here's the totals. I wasn't as crusty tonight, 'cause trivia didn't suck, so things might not be quite as "ranty" as some of you may have liked.

#1 94 points PHDTS (Forever marked as cheaters even without there shitty little hobbit)
#2 89 points hmmmmm I'm so drunk I don't know who this is. Maybe Wes?????
#3 88 points Travis
#4 88? The Bi-Polar Bears

Ok so these aren't set in stone, I'm pissed (drunk, not mad, as compared to last week where I was both).

Anyone who reads this and doesn't laugh is a fuckin commie.......There, I said it.

I wish I had more time, but it's 3:02 and I have shit to do (that rhymes, deal with it).
