That's definitely a pic of Mike the bartender, with Ralphie's glasses carefully photoshoppped in, despite his vehement denial. It was part of our Extra Special Christmas Show. What made it so special? How about the 2 and a half pound box of chocolate moose taffy that was to be one of the special Grand Prizes? Oh, wait, I forgot about it (I ended up passing it out to the stragglers post-show). What about the other Grand Prize, a beautiful poinsettia? I forgot that, too, and in fact left it at Bube's (consider it my gift to Sam Allen).I also forgot that we had just had "Broadway musicals" as a theme last week when Bube's Wenches picked it for next week. It was their highest placing ever, so in the spirit of Christmas, I'll let them keep it. The Wenches tied with the Tesla Death Rays, who chose "Young Frankenstein" as their theme in honor of the late Peter Boyle. (Trivia about trivia: this is the first time ever that two teams at two different venues have chosen the exact same theme.)
In third place was last week's champs, It Takes a Village Full of Ovaries. The Fool Monkey, fresh off their victory at J's Saturday night show at the Tilted Kilt, took second. Speaking of J, great thanks to him for getting the sound system to finally work right (Someone at Bube's had been rearranging wires, preventing the sound from reaching the front room). By the way, J and Big Bald Sean will be doing a special karaoke show at the Bottling Works on Christmas Eve. And tonight's victory went to Team Discovery Channel, who brought along some extra power in the form of trivia alumnus West Coast Sam. Welcome back, Sam! And thanks go out to Mark, who ably filled in for Mike, whose picture that definitely is.
