Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 3 December 2023

You’ve either done it, you’re going to do it, or you’ve done it and haven’t realised how cringy it was.

For your team name this week, we want you to tell us the cringiest thing you’ve ever done to impress a crush.

Pretended I liked Twilight.

Attempted a skateboard trick and wound up with a concussion.

Learned to speak Chinese. She was Korean.

Got a friend to punch me hard enough to give me a bruise so I could say I won a fight.

Any cringeworthy things you’ve done will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 November 2023

There are a lot of tourists around these days, and this week your team name is going to give them some advice.

But not good advice. It’s a lot more fun to give terrible tourist advice.

So use your team name to suggest the worst places to go.

Thai prison are good for long term accommodation

Bringing a case of whiskey to Mecca will make you really popular

Haggling with that Mumbai street vendor over 20 cents is a good use of your time.

That Rio taxi driver is definitely reliable

One team who didn’t read the news story we put on Facebook guessed that the Tasmania woman who couldn’t make it to work on time was delayed by her inability to get her driving gloves on over her six fingers.

We were treated to one player who couldn’t remember the title of Budapest by George Ezra doing an impression of the vocals for several minutes.

What did Taylor Swift’s band wear in the video for We Are Never Getting Back Together? Strap-ons. No, that’s the video you wanted to see for some reason. Perverts.

On a name the year bonus question, we had a Brazilian clue and a Greek clue, and neither the Brazilian player or the Greek player in the audience got the answer.

See you next week.
