That Was the Week That Was

Quick apologies for being a bad blogger this week. It's been a little more hectic than usual, so I'm going to combine the week into one long post. (If you're here looking for themes, you can read through this or skip this post and look at the one below). Here's how the week went:

Saturday: went to a Leukemia and Lymphoma fundraiser Damion Wolfe concert held by Melissa. She's trying to raise funds to attend a hike in the Rockies. I'll have to get you her site, if you want to help her out.

Sunday: At Chuckles, Ubersmack had a great last round for a come-from-behind victory. The Lethal Amoebas were only one question behind, followed by the Price Is Right, Skirtland and the Talent Scouts. A little farther back were Out of the Vortex (welcome back Bill and Marge) and the Tidy Bowlers. The Bowlers were inspired by their prize from the Trashbag of Deelite (an Aunt Bee cookbook) and chose Andy Griffith as their theme.

Monday: I took time off from the day job and went car-shopping since Stan the Stanza was being put out to pasture. The new MrSnrubmobile is a Toyota Echo. Then it was off to the Barnstormers game (many pix below).

Tuesday: I normally write questions Monday night, so I was running behind. I took an extended lunch at home, churning out some questions. Then my home computer died! It's currently on life support in the shop here at work. Managed to write a show for Bube's, which was won by the Jelly Roll Mortons (this was their first win in a while). Out of the Vortex improved their Sunday night showing by taking second, followed by a tie between The Tesla Death Rays and Team Discovery Channel for third. In fifth were The Nutsacks, followed by the John Shober Gang and the seventh place Stone Cutters, who chose Michael jackson as their theme. You can see the Shobers' pix below. Also: does anyone know where Partial Disagreement disappeared to?

Wednesday: Matt joined his friends Josh and Amy to once again become the Drunken Stepfathers. They tied for second with Shitz and Giggles. Shitz sent Captain Jack first-timer Tom up and he had what had to be the quickest ever loss. We're Here for the Beer took seventh, which gave Don the opportunity to choose the International Radio code as their theme. The story of the night, however, was Clyde and Jerry's kickass last round, as the two-man team Room Two took first place.

Thursday: ran home from the day job and quickly made the house presentable for a Pampered Chef party. This annual event is to help out my friend and soon-to-be-trivia host Justin Shiffer. Then off to see Damion for the second time in one week at his last Symposium show.

Friday: fell asleep on the couch, getting ready to start all over again...
