The second place Nutsacks Have Declared Their Independence from Serbia are embarrassed to admit that one of their members plays with Barbies.

The Millersburg Fairies had a great night, taking home the bronze. And Brian was thrilled to get a biogrpahy of his hero, Pete Rose. (Janelle left before this team photo was taken.)

Liz and Jason of Frankenstein Jr. were excited to finally get seventh place. They chose "Scrubs" as their theme for next week.

It looks like the Knights Who Say Ecky-Ecky-Ecky-Ptang-Zoom-Boing are trying to get George drunk. They rescued His Ceramic Highness from his post as the trade-in prize.

Corey brought his friend Meghan, who had a good time before heading back to the wilds of Connecticut.

Earth Trivia Takes On A.M. Radio!

Dear fans o' Curtis Earth,

Curtis is kicking off a brand new endeavor today (Feb. 18th). He'll be doing a live, one-hour daily call-in trivia radio show on a Florida A.M. station. Luckily for us non-Floridians, it has an internet feed:

http://www.1190wamt.com/

and their call-in number is:

1-888-300-3776

He'll be on Monday through Friday 9 A.M. - 10 A.M.; one of his Florida trivia hosts, Justin Steadman, will be his on-air co-host.

Curtis is really intent on making this a success, so please consider calling in and harassing, I mean, supporting him!

Chuckles: Teach Your Chillin' Well

Chillin' Wit Muh Gnomies, a relatively new team at Chuckles, had a very impressive 88 and claimed victory on President's Day Eve, 12 points ahead of their closest rival, Cold Ducklips. There was a tie between Skirtland and the Muppet-loving Ubersmack, which triggered a Captain Jack-off between Tiffany and Deric, with the latter quickly choking. Next in line were the Intoxicated Intellectuals and the two-woman Sue's Crew. For the second week in a row, Laffy Taffy claimed seventh, wresting it from the Lethal Amoebas. They're going all chemical on us, choosing the Periodic Table of Elements as next week's theme. Jason and Nick, meanwhile are happy to change their name back to We Can Win...With Tickets!

In honor of Erika's weekend performance in the Vagina Monologues, the Price Is Right renamed themselves the uncomfortable-sounding "Cold Ducklips and Rubber Gloves."

Skirtland brought along some new firepower: Don and Kim, my fellow classmate from LCHS's Class of 19XX.

Here's a pic of Tiffany with what Lee once called the "clove-stuffed" Alan.

Celi's: V.D. Is For Everybody!

Valentine's Day night I had the honor of filling in for an ailing Billy Warmth at his Celi's Clubhouse gig. I had a great time, with a high-energy crowd. I also enjoyed everyone's feeble attempts to bribe me. Nice try! I left my notes with Billy's bag, so I'm doing this from memory. I remember that Drew's team, R&R (Pictured above) were the grand prize winners, breaking the Stupid MoFos' winning streak.

These guys (I don't remember their name) did pretty well, too, placing second. They were apparently very popular with the crowd, since there was a loud roar (or was that a hiss?) when their name (whatever it was) was announced.

The Stupid MoFos almost won, but had to settle for third. A glitch in communication caused them to write down Arabic instead of Aramaic, which cost them the game. Arrrrrrgh!

Thoirns N Roses were happy that I give partial credit for partially right answers.

The Better Half wanted extra points since I neglected to wear a tuxedo for Valentine's Day, as previously reported by Billy Warmth.

Can't recall this lobby team's name. I know they were considering moving into the men's room, where there was some heat.

Plebus won a jar of maraschino cherries, hoping that Sue would do that Twin Peaks trick.

The (not from Columbia) Crimson Tide claimed that they never do well, but still managed to come in either fourth or fifth.

Dawn and her crew (Living on the 18th Green?) were very creative in their pleas for assistance.

Team Manischewitz managed to win the makings of a nice romantic Valentine's dinner: taffy and pork rinds!

I remember that Renate, Erika and Steve's team name had the word Vagina in it, in honor of Erika's role in the Vagina Monologues.

Leah and Greg (I think) had a most excellent night, taking home the coveted Swedish Fish.

Rick of the MoFos is ready for Easter now, winning 44 pounds of peanut butter eggs. (They're very dense)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

P.S.: I'm substitute-hosting for an ailing Billy Warmth tonight at his Celi's Clubhouse show at the Crossgates golf course in Millersville in case you're looking for something to do on this romantic night. And I promise that is the first and only time you'll see "Billy Warmth," "romantic" and a cute puppy in the same post.

VFW: Glory Days

It's been a long time since Jason has played trivia at the VFW. He joined Matt and Cassandra to become the H2Ws and played on a special 80s-themed night. ironically, the team of people who were too young to remember the Reagan decade ended up winning. A Pat-less Mixed Company watched two teams win jerky while they came in second. Charlie's Angels came in third (see below), while Room Two was fourth and Chicks and Dicks were fifth. Dennis and Mel were sixth, while We're Here for the Beer got the coveted seventh spot and chose "dogs" as their theme. Shitz ad Friends were missing their Giggles, while the Young Bucks were lost in the 80s.

Shanyn, Kristie and Scotttt of Charlie's Angels used their extensive knowledge of the 80s to propel them from seventh (last week) to third (this week). Sometimes the theme-picking actually works!

Prior to the show, Carmen and Erma limber up their brains by doing some serious videogaming.

Ice, Ice, Baby!

Bubes: Finger Pointing

Laura and Becky of the Toxic Olives point to the icy heavens, which caused a cancellation of trivia at Bubes Tuesday night. They, along with Nate, were the only regulars to arrive, so Sam decided to postpone the show for a week. All the fans of Pennsylvania oddities can rest assured that those theme questions have not been asked yet.

Tim, Emily and Bull were not keen on the weather, either.

Sam was happy to see that one group braved the elements and rewarded the Olives with some T-shirt swag.

It's Grammy Time!

Congrats to Bret and Jemaine of Flight of the Conchords for winning the Grammy for Best Comedy Album. Pretty impressive, since it was only an EP with 6 songs. Their full-length album will be available in the states on April 22nd.

Chuckles: Lift High Your Skirts

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we returned to our full strength. Skirtland had the magical team combo and made it back to the winner's circle tonight, ahead of Ubersmack and the Price Is Right Is Boring/Frustrated/Perplexed. Ben stated that Billy Warmth was hiding from their team. Only one question behind were Car Ramrod and the Intoxicated Intellectuals. A little farther back were the Talents Scouts and the theme-picking women of Laffy Taffy (their choice for next week: Friends). The Twin Roses, featuring Toyota-hugging Sue and Ubersmack cracked the secret code of the picture round and were rewarded with useless lottery tickets. Sue's Crew applauded the Price Is Right's honesty. And, this just in: WCWWT is now on strike.

Carol and Karen's beer knowledge kept them in the running.

For the second week in a row we had a team of Ron Paul supporters playing the game. This time it was the Awesome Face Team, featuring Columbia native Nelson Ressler.

It's Chillin' Wit mah Gnomies, with special guest star Alan.

Amangeric attempts to do one of those "I'm-taking-a-picture-of-you-while-you're-taking-a-picture-of-me" paradoxes.

Tim approves of Deric finger-massaging Kelly's temples in an effort to extract Peter Rabbit info from the recesses of her mind.

VFW: Cavalry Led by Grant

I thought it was Amy, but Pat is pointing to the secret weapon of Mixed Company, Grant (all three agreed that it was not Bruce). He was responsible for five of the correct answers in the last round, which allowed his team to squeak by Chicks and Dicks. The Chix/Dix had been hoping for a three-peat, but the Olympics question did Erma and her crew in. And, once again, Shitz and Giggles imploded, but still managed third. There was a tie for fourth between Room 69 and We're Here for the Beer, while Cheryl and her siblings, the Dumb Blondes placed sixth. Kopper Plumbing, meanwhile, had to settle for a bag of popcorn.

Joel and Shannon (You and Me) were joined by Scottie to become You and Me and Him. The trio came in seventh and chose '80s music as their theme.

Bube's: Come Tuesday

It was Jimmy Buffet night at Bube's, and it was an ideal theme for a sweltering night. I dusted off my worst Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops, while the Trashbag featured tropical prizes like dried pineapple and coconut milk (yum!). I also blew my budget and gave away a big bottle of Margarita mix, won by one of the few underage players of the night, Nate of the Nutsacks.

The heat must have done wonders for everyone's noggin, since we had the highest scoring night in a looong time. Wahoo (pictured above) had the biggest upset victory since the Giants beat the Patriots (if you can remember back that far), when they came from behind with a perfect last round, scoring a 97. Then they rode off into the sunset, bound for Cleveland. (They only come into town once a year on business, so we'll be looking out for them in 2009.)

Seth and Laura and Tom finally got some extra firepower with Missy and Pals as Team Discovery Channel led the first three rounds. They're still in shock that they came in second with 96 points.

The Wisemen ...and Patty ...and Erin had a good night, placing third. Props to Brent for also going with the Buffet theme and wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

The Tony Danza Slap came in seventh and chose as their theme "Pennsylvania Oddities." And I get to interpret that however I may wish.

The Slags are making a fashion statement with their pickings from the Trashbag of Deelite: a bag of bandanas!

It's Vanessa and the Brians (not to be confused with Pinky and the Brain). This week they were known as Quietly Making Noise. They were in shock that their team high of 82 points was only good for fifth place, right behind On Deric's Behalf the Nutsacks Would Like to Thank Gisele for Wearing Out Tom Brady.

Take That, Patriots! had to have the highest points-per-person for the night. If only they could skip the picture round.

Ron and Toni weren't going to stay, but got sucked in.

Paco's Tacos had an identity crisis and changed their name in the third round to something unprintable.

Now That's Using Your Head!

Congrats to the Giants!
