Johnny tied with the Fool Velveteen Monkey for third, one of their best showings ever.

Ubersmack
Ubersmack managed to nab fourth, and picked German geography and the Joe Schmo Show (Season One) as their mini-themes for next week. Everybody, start your googling!
Not so Crabby
Helen and Traci had a fun time, despite the fact that ticket number 967 was never drawn.
Table 1
A huge gang of Dairy Concept/Fontera people, half of which spoke with a vaguely Australian accent, took over the front room tonight.
Table 3
This was the champion team of the entire Dairy Concepts group. Known as the Sharks, they did extremely well until the killer fourth round.

Curtis at Alois
Herein and Forthwith (a popular couple, right up there with Alas and Alack), you will find team photos for Earth Day 2005, the annual pilgrimage of Curtis Earth back to his original trivia roots in Lancaster County, PA. Mosey on over to Curtis' blog later on for some more coverage of this fun-filled night.
Your cruise director
Hi, my name is Julie. Welcome aboard the Bubes' Boat. Enjoy your voyage, and may I recommend the pasta?
And I'm Isaac (not)
Kyle, our esteemed bartender, bears a striking resemblance to a certain trivia host, don't you think?
Sunday, April 10, 2005
Wait a minute!
Hey! This is the real Kyle! So how'd that other guy get behind the bar? Someone stop that man!
If I Had A Hundred Dollars
Out of the Vortex was the evening's champions, winning a cool tenth of a grand, and $20 gift certificates for each team member. Congrats to Scott, Bob, Keith, Billy and Michelle!
Three points shy of first place
It was a reunion of sorts for the silver-medal winning Brablock team, with John (that's his forehead in the pic) and Laurel Lee from upstate PA joining Mark and trivia virgin Cindy, Fritz and Lori Jo, and Herr Weave.
Who's behind those Foster Grants?
Jay and John do their worst Jake and Elwood impersonations as Lauren wonders why she chose to spend her birthday with such characters. It was a profitable night, however, for the Lethal Amoebas, as they took third place.
Great Big Bulging Nutsack
The Nutsacks were at full strength and everyone was happy that Andy found enough cash to imbibe.
An Army of Six
Basketball star Bill Walton's lesser known brother Jack is about to prove that he can palm Doug's head.
Curb Your Enthusiasm? I think not!
The Dead Bear Baby in a Jar team is excited by Jason's fashion statement as he daringly transformed his beads into a hat.
Is it dark in here, or is it just me?
My apologies to the Toxic Olives for this crummily (crumbily?)-lit shot.
May I see your reservation?
Brent, Keith and the rest of the procrastinating Shuttle Cocks team were exiled to the bar, but you won't hear them complaining (it's a lot less walking and stumbling to do).
All My Scharnbergers
John loved trivia so much that he paid twice. And, in this candid shot of the Fool Monkey team, we see that he loved Bethena so much that he had her surgically attached to his armpit.

He's almost here!
Twas the day before Curtis
And all throughout Bubes
All the trivia teams

Anxiously awaited
The Alois bash
And the chance to earn
A hundred bucks cash!

Wash Me!
I have a whole series of photos like this from last year when the street in front of Bube's was torn up and cars got a complimentary paint job with every meal. I invited the teams to display their artistic side. Here we see a masterpiece from the Tesla Death Rays. More to come...

Lititz VFW
It was Cal's 22nd birthday (or some multiple thereof), so Lexie Lou and Company treated everyone to some cake. Carmen sported a chameleonlike bandage while Irma declared 69 to be her favorite number. Even though Deb was a late arrival, she managed to score the Big Furry Thing. Jerry didn't want any junk food, so he gnawed on citronella candles instead. And we switched over to cash prizes instead of gift certificates for the top two teams.
How old are you now?
Cal and his family kindly shared his tasty birthday cake with the rest of the post. Thanks, Cal, and remember to follow your doctor's orders and please don't sing!
B52s didn't bomb
She may have lost the big furry thing, but Sheila went home a richer woman tonight, winning the 50-50. And the B52s placed fourth, alllowing them to pick next week's mini-themes: reptiles that drive cars (or something like that)
We are the champions
The Yankees of the VFW, We're Here for the Beer, celebrate a remarkable third round. And Frank sprouts an extra pair of horns.

Now that's a nice picture
With a name like the Posse (led by Sheriff Ted), you'd think they'd clean up on Wild West trivia, but they were shooting blanks. They had a rootin' - tootin' time, nonetheless.
Bube's Brewery
My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt was almost as popular as the Shirt of the Week: a Michael "that no-talent ass clown" Bolton World Tour 1994 shirt. Jill wanted to check the date on the spicy peanut butter. Josiah wanted to know if he could use it for a lapjack. Ellen arrived in time to celebrate her natal day and joined Gwen Stefani on the picture sheet. The Shuttle Cocks were flying high until the third round, when the Bears and Monkeys took over. But the genuine excitement was saved for the third-place tie-breaker battle between Andy and Jim. In honor of Curtis's upcoming visit, we revived the ever popular "Don't Break the Ice." (Unfortunately for him, Jim didn't take the game title's advice and lost)
Bang, bang Andy's plastic hammer...
After conquering the Don't Break the Ice tie-breaker, Andy sought new things to smash.
How did this happen?
Kristy must have been offered a huge tip to sit with the Stephen Hawking crew. That's the only possible explanation.
One of these days...
...Karen will remember to bring in her team's bio. In the meantime, the Tesla Death Rays enjoy some brews and a plate of thymuses (thymusi?)
We have three simple rules...
Barcrawler.net blogmaster J doesn't want to be lapjacked. At least not tonight.

Please don't sing Happy Birthday!
Lauara was one of the many Olives that helped Ellen celebrate her birthday at Bubes.
Who made Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do, we do! The Stonecutters, who one of these days is going to win the big moolah, are looking forward to next week's questions on 24 and pharmaceuticals.

You must remember this...
While you are waiting for this week's bloggage, feel free to take a nap in our piano lounge, where you'll hear the tinkling of this fellow.

Lititz VFW
It started out slow, but gained momentum to be a decent night. Sheila was searching for her teammates and looked like she would fly solo until Dennis appeared. John was exiled to the bar, but still did well. Cocco and Company stayed long enough to win the 50/50 before taking off in search of lottery tickets. The Posse purposely did not do too well, since they didn't want the recovering Cal to get overly excited and accidentally scream. Bob insisted that Dumb Donald and Mushmouth were the same person as everyone reminisced about 70s cartoons. Chicks and Dicks once again captured fourth, this time switching time periods and picking a new war: the Big One.

Bube's Brewery
The Crabby Dicks were re-incarnated while the Shuttle Cocks broke into two and Stephen Hawkings Overcame His Disability to Overcome the Balcony. Josiah and Papa Nut didn't appreciate the doubling of mini-themes (there were four this week due to a tie). Buck Snort knew their withers from their fetlocks, but fell off of the horse nonetheless. Brent's bad luck with Captain Jack caused the Jose Canseco Tried To Inject Us wilh Something Other Than Roids team to lose third, but they got to choose next week's themes. TDC and their knowledge of drunken authors helped them capture the first spot before a large swarm of E-town students enveloped the bar.
Want to trade?
Team Porsche was desperately trying to unload their ceramic frog dispenser, but to no avail.

The Rodney Dangerfield of Bubes' teams, Team Discovery Channel (boo!), were reunited with the Sonic Death Monkey and claimed first place.
What is this thing called Smithwick's?
Randy tries to discourage James from drinking an import, while Leah thinks "who are these people?"

Where do we play?
Watch out, Bubes! This team of sisters is on the lookout for a place to test their trivial knowledge. And they pretty much have the last century covered for history questions.

Tennessee Teammates
These two lovely ladies were visiting from the Volunteer State. Now, if only I had learned how to use my camera (what is this thing called "flash?")
The Not So Lucky Charms
Jen and Helen and their friend asked that I never discuss their second round, so I won't.
Do these people look toxic to you?
The Toxic Olives are happy to get the primo table spot this week and also captured first place

Lititz VFW
The Major Hooters were AWOL, so they didn't get to hear their M*A*S*H and 70s music questions (who remembers Brewer and Shipley?). Chicks and Dicks were short one dick, but still captured the all-important fourth place. And Room 2 pulled out a last-round comeback to capture the gold.

Bubes Brewery
I returned from my wildly successful off-off-off-off-off-to-infinity-plus-one-off Broadway debut to find that Ivey did a fine job of subbing. I also found that J had once again managed to pick the themes and once again had chosen porn stars and whiskey (at least he has a two-track mind). The Shuttle Cocks were halved, while Stephen Hawking's Handicapped-Accessible Temple of Doom tripled their size. Team Discovery Channel returned from their first hiatus to find that the Sonic Death Monkey had abandoned them.
Temple of Doooooom!
What's that between Coco's legs? Why, it's Luv Rub, of course, what those in the know choose to put on their pork!
