Bube's: Mom Power!

Total Disagreement (But We All Love Cookies!) brought along a secret weapon from Florida, (Jen's mom) and took home the top prize, romping to 17 point victory. Mr. Darcy's Wise Men also had a great night, taking second. Then we had our first three-way in a while, with the Chubby Stubbies, The Fool Monkey Was Told That It Tastes Like Chicken and El Rye del Helado Frito all tied for third. The Chubs won out, Charles picked "creationism" and somelier-in-training Josh chose "French wines." The John Shober Gang, meanwhile, played with their Woolly Willy.

Melissa opens up her team "Bube's Bitches" to now allow male members.

Chuckles: Menopause for Dummies, ANyone?

Lisa, Adam and Tim of the Boozehounds had a great night, tying for second with the Talent Scouts, then winning the Captain Jack-off. They failed to stop Ubersmack, whoever, since they won by one question. In a tie for fourth were Out of the Vortex and The Poor Charlies. Vortex chose "military aircraft" (which was also picked at the VFW this week, coincidentally) and the Charlies chose "80s horror movies."

Trashbag prizes included a drinking bird, a copy of Menopause for Dummies (won by the age-inappropriate MJ) and a box of doggy doo bags, which Beth will use to police Deric. A fun night of 19 teams and one country (in fact, the Republic of the Tidy Bowlers was so large that they spun off their own colony, the Tidy Bowl Outcasts.

The ever-charming Carol and the dapper Dwight were roped into staying up way past their bedtime.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

I had the pleasure of joining a busful of Lancaster 505 folk on St. Patty's Day, as 45 people joined to terrorize the bars of Marietta. Here a happy Irish couple join Pete, Craig and Kumiko at Shank's Cafe.

VFW: Beware the Day Before the Ides of March!

Frank says I show too many pix of beautiful women on the blog, so I'm trying something different. Tonight's drama came from the hard charging B52s, who improved round after round. They almost caught up to the We're No Biscuits team, losing only by three points. Also doing well were the Chicks and Dicks, who placed third. In fourth were D&M, who chose military aircraft as their theme, and the Clyde-less Room Two, who chose '50s rock and roll. Shitz and Giggles did one of their patented spectacular crash and burns as Major Nix Lix and Son cornered all the sweets and set up their own bake shop.

Bube's: Gearing Up for St. Patty's

Welcome back, By Your Powers Combined We Are Stephen Hawkings! The Hawks were regulars a couple of years ago and have vowed to come back more often. Derrick is sporting his prize from the Trashbag of Deelite: the best St. Patty's hat that one dollar can buy.

It was truly a fun night, with a full house and teams flip-flopping in the standings. The Fool Monkey Mourns the Loss of the Stardust and the Chubby Stubbies led the first three rounds, but both teams self-combusted in the final round. The Monkeys placed fifth and chose historical earthquakes as their theme. The Wise Men took fourth and chose Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice. The Toxic Olives welcomed back the long-lost Ellen and placed third, followed the biggest movers of the night, Total Disagreement. They went from 7th to 2nd, scoring 7 out of 10 right in the end. But, when the dust cleared, it was the Tesla Death Rays who claimed victory.

We also welcomed back Rebecca as one of our servers and said hello to Matt, who joins us as our regular bartender. I think Matt is stalking me, since he also showed up in disguise behind the bar at Symposium on Thursday night, where Damion Wolfe was playing.

Chelle and Steve, proud winners of a Wee Pee-Boy, made a rare Tuesday night appearance at Bube's. You can usually catch them belting out songs at J's Sunday night karaoke show.

The Kinky Munchkins and Toto, Too are showing how much they "L"ove trivia.

Chuckles: Reader's Digest Condensed Blog

Just had a quick conversation with Chris, our guest host at Cafe Chuckles. He had a great time with his "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" format. And Laffy Taffy, a team filled with teachers, took first. Next week's themes are Top Gun and the Nip/Tuck television series. Thanks again to the Ivey man!

VFW: We're No Slackers

We're No Biscuits debuted their team cheer tonight. And they had something to cheer about, since they blazed through the dreaded last round and claimed the top spot. The Chicks and Dicks were second, followed by Shitz and Giggles. Room Two cleared the room right after the last question, leaving Clyde to pick classical music as their theme. And D&M landed in fifth, choosing fresh water tropical fish.

Carmen, Skip Jr. and Erma welcome the newest member of Chicks and Dicks.

Austin and Kyle brought along some re-inforcements and did four times better than they expected.

Bube's: Can You Hear Me Now?

Nathan, Marie and her Siamese twin sister and Josiah of I've Been Wading in the Velvet Nutsack charged hard at the end, but could not stop the Phool Monkey Phancys Itself a Phishhead. The 'sacks placed fourth and chose the book of Hosea as their theme (It's one of the shorter books of the Old Testament, so now you have your weekend reading assignment). Total Disagreement also did well, placing fifth and chose human anatomy. Third place went to TDC, led by Missy the original Phishhead. Karen finally returned to the Tesla Death Rays and they placed second. But it was a Monkey night most of the time, with Charles and the gang scoring an impressive 82 points. I, in the meantime, lost 82 pounds running back and forth from room to room as the sound system in the first room went kaput.

The Jelly Roll Mortons were distraught that they bombed tonight.

The Superfriends allowed Steve to join their team once he became a puckhead.

Chuckles: You Want Me to Eat What?

In an effort to get the Trashbag of Deelite back to its wacky roots, I took a trip down the Goya aisle and threw in some coconut juice (with pulp!) and some octopus in garlic sauce. Half the Talent Scouts liked it and the other half thought it was vile. Since octopus is brain food, it gave them the edge and a victory for the second week in a row. The Price Is Right merged with some of the Flaming Morons to take second. The change in scenery and a new room did the Laffy Taffy crew good, since they came in third. In a tie for fourth were the Lethal Amoebas (who chose Martin Scorsese films as their theme) and Out of the Vortex (who chose CSI: Miami, my least favorite CSI).

We also learned that ETOH is hospital code for alcohol, Shemat needs to pay attention to their dad more, and Skirtland never heard of Soul Asylum. The Shitheads were doing well, but disappeared. When I asked if anyone had seen the Shitheads, many teams volunteered their suggestions.

In case you missed the announcement, Chris Ivey, the Joan Rivers of trivia, will be subbing for me next week, so be afraid!

VFW: What-a-world

There was no way out for people who do not like Kevin Costner movies, as that was one of our themes for the evening. The Chicks and Dicks were going for a fourfer, but they were stopped by the We're No Biscuits team. (See Kirk for the amusing origin of their name). Room Two settled for third and we had a tie between the badly-named Three Minus Bill and Shitz and Giggles teams. Bill's team chose domestic beer and the Gigglers chose U2. We welcomed back Tom and Nick, who promptly cornered the Oreo market and also said "Howdy, stranger!" to the newly toasted Paul (toasted meaning by the Florida sun.)
