Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 March 2024

Uncategorized,

Last Saturday was the anniversary of an event you may never have heard of.

It was 23 March 1965 that John Young went into space on the Gemini 3 mission… and he brought a corned beef sandwich with him.

It got us thinking, what would you smuggle into space if you went.

Make that your team name for a bonus point this week.

My dog. He won’t let me go to the toilet alone, so he’s not going to let me go to space alone.

A gorilla suit, so I could mess with people when I returned.

A lightsaber. You never know when it might come in handy.

A return ticket.

Tell us what you would bring to space for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our players gave one of our hosts a bottle of home made strawberry mead. For the record, mead is always welcome.

Who is 8 feet tall and hideously ugly? We were looking for Frankenstein, but one team said their dad. We don’t know him, but for all we know he may be Frankenstein.

When we give you options of 1, 5, or 28 to choose from, you should really choose one of them, rather than choosing 11.

When we ask you a bonus question where you get one guess, you get ONE guess. You don’t get three, and you don’t get to use a calculator.

And with one week left to go in the quarterly tournament, it looks like it’s already decided.
