03-08-06_2123.jpg Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Free t-shirt. Yay. And that’s all we won. A compressed t-shirt for everyone. Conveniently enough, Nikki and I have to do some painting around the house in the next month or so.
United for Shotgun Safety Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Winners, all. This Week’s Team: Alyssa, Amber, B.J., Darcey, Duane, Joseph, Nikki, Rusty and your best friend ever. Absent was the almighty Tony Simon. (And wouldn’t you know it, on a night without Tony, we actually won the 3rd Quarter beer drawing.)
02-02-06_2005.jpg Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Nothing says class like a selection of lottery tickets, right at your table. Where? Bonz Sports Grill in Smyrna. Why? Team Trivia with Sally, Dan and Margaret, friends of ours we don’t see nearly enough. The experience was markedly different from our regular Wednesday night outing. For one thing, we …
Same shirt … Different team Originally uploaded by tonysimon. We’re suckers for Threadless t-shirts. BJ, Joseph, Nikki, myself. Just something about those quirky little designs screams “Buy me!” and so we do. Apparently, we’re not alone, as evidenced by last night. The kid on the left (my right) is … dang, I can’t remember his …
Made Of People Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Too tired for an all around recap. Maybe tomorrow. For now, know this: There were two occasions, both bonus questions, where I revealed the absolute depths of my geekery in full. The first? James Bond trivia, musical scores in particular. The second? Knowing a minute detail from Toy …
Somehow, We Won. Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. There’s just no explaining this one. So here’s the facts: Roll Call: Alyssa, B.J. (Happy Birthday!), Darcey, Joseph, Nikki, Rusty, Tony, and your humble author. Final Score: 95 Place: 1st I was ready to make a post about how Joey Bishop really ought to have a more memorable …
Ice Doesn’t Count Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Today’s Fact: The Empire State Building does have its own zip code, 10118. Kelly — the MC of Bustin’ Heads Trivia — owes us beer. Knowing this, would those extra fifteen points — the 10 points we would’ve won from question #10 (“Which of the following building has …
We were down to a skeleton crew of five. Due to the severe gravitational pull of other local events like the ritual relocation of a certain pirate, the opening night of RENT (The Movie) and the booking of some inexplicably popular Bon Jovi cover band, the only hands on deck belonged to Nikki, Tony, Joseph, …
You mean the day before today? Yeah. Suppose it was. And Wednesday means trivia. Please note this post’s lack of accompanying victorious scoresheet. That’s right, the winning streak was held at four-in-a-row. Our stumble could be attributed to the unexpected arrival of a substitute for our usual presenter — Kelly had to coach something somewhere …
