INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that one of our players counts on her fingers with all her fingers out, and then putting them down with each passing number.  Which is objectively weird.

You know that book Alison in Wonderland?

If you talk constantly and then complain that you can hear anything, we’re not going to take you seriously. If we ask you for a language beginning with J in which “thank you” translates as “arigato” and you leave it blank, our questions being too hard might not be the problem.

We noticed that one of our team had the same women every week, but different guys. It turns out the ladies were finding guys on Tinder and inviting them to trivia. So if you match with some 20 something girls in Sydney, you might wind up at one of our quizzes.

And after six weeks, somehow we have a tie in our quarterly tournament, with two teams tied on 5 wins and 368 points.

Team Wins Points
4 Go Crazy 5 368
The Smith Family 5 368
Ted’s Team 4 305
Menace to Sobriety 4 277
Leader Hosen 4 266

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked whether people would rather have no thumbs, or only thumbs, one team based their decision on what option would make lifting a pint glass easier. They had their priorities straight.

What question did Elmo ask that went viral? “Where the bad bitches at?”

What ship did Jason take to search for the Golden Fleece? The Titanic.

A lot of teams were absolutely certain that Dawson’s Creek was set in North Carolina. Some were so certain they were almost smug about it. And then they came undone when they realised that we didn’t ask where Dawson’s Creek was filmed, but where it was set.

The Smith Family currently leads the quarterly tournament with 301 points off 4 wins.
