Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 22 June 2025

It’s Pride Month, and this week your team names are going to reflect that.

This week we want you to make a film or TV series gay.

The Fast and the Bicurious

Gay’s Anatomy

Terminator 2: Judgement Gay

Pretty in Twink

Lesbianne of Green Gables

Now look, this theme may give some terrible people an excuse to be mean spirited.  But it’ll be more fun for everyone if you’re clever.

Just make a film or TV series a bit more LGBT to get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Conversations that somehow only make sense at trivia… “hey do you know any anti-Italian slurs?”

A table full of Colombians were relieved to have gotten a question on the Spanish language.

And there’s one week to go in our quarterly tournament. Nothing is locked down yet.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 15 June 2025

We recently saw this video explaining what would happen if the sun suddenly switched off.

For those of you who can’t be bothered to watch it, they found a few positives. Better satellite communication, the whole world being in one time zone, no cyclones because the ocean is frozen, and a drop in skin cancer. All for the minor downside of our species going extinct.

This week we want your team name to find the positive side of bad news.

My crippling anxiety stops me from saying stupid things

COVID lockdowns kept me from having to go to dozens of events I wanted to back out of

Insomnia means just three more sleeps until Christmas

Climate change will briefly give me beachfront property

Any way of putting a positive spin on something negative will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team of newbies had to get used to not shouting out things like “Manolo Blahnik”, and “Portugal” when they knew an answer.

We noticed that a lot of teams really seem to like guessing 69 or 420 when asked to think of a number.

And it looks like first place in the quarterly tournament is down to two teams.
