Chuckles: No Clowning Around


A beautiful day outside was capped off with a beautiful night of trivia at Chuckles. Since it was Stephen King night, I should have included a question on Pennywise from "It" (pictured at right). But Chuckles has (thankfully) gone through a de-clowning phase, so I nixed that idea.

Doug and Nancy of The Army of Northern Virginia fame put in their first Chuckles appearance, but played under the name "Old and In the Way." The Grotty Little Wankers returned and came alive in the last round. Also having a great last round were the Talent Scouts, who aced 8 out of 10 to take the gold. Twelve points behind were the Lethal Amoebas, followed closely by the Price Is Right. Roughly one question behind were fourth place Skatoolah Malakas and fifth place Skirtland. They chose the cartoon "Transformers" and "fifties music" as their themes (you guess which team picked which theme), so we're spanning many decades.

Next week starts our "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" mini-tourney at Chuckles (see the previous post below for details). It will truly be a mini-tournament, since it will only be two weeks (April 29th and May 6th). Also, permanent substitute host Chris Ivey will be filling in for me next week, so please be kind to him (he bruises easily).
