Chuckles: Welcome Jess!

Since Rick has headed south and Lori is on maternity leave, we have welcomed Jess to the Sunday night crew. Her first night was capped by one of those particularly painful last rounds (once again I had a lack of sleep, which makes me slightly cranky and I take it out on the last round). When the dust settled, it was the Lethal Amoebas on top. And for those of you who have laughed at their name, check out this article, provided by proto-amoeba Jay Barry.

Kelly's butt failed Ubersmack, as they lost by two points. And two points behind them were I've Got Your Kittens Right Here Featuring Barb, AKA Pussy Galore. Yet another two points were all that prevented Hide the Pepperoni from making the money. The Tidy Bowlers finally broke their seventh-place curse and took fifth, with Bill and Marge right behind. That meant seventh went to The Dicks, a brand new team who chose Seinfeld as their theme. They also won the most valuable prize of the night: a novel by Britney Spears and her mother. They tried to start a bidding war, but there were no takers :-(

VFW: Winging It

Once again, I need to post the next day, or I'll forget. Now it's four days and several thousand dead brain cells later and I do not have my notes. I remember that the Drunken Stepfathers (with special guest YouTube star Andrew Bucher) came in first...
and that MTV'N came in seventh, so they chose "American war heroes" as their theme for next week. That ties in nicely with our Anniversary Week-themed show. Don't forget to bone up on your post history and the newsletter. Annie is also providing some special raffle prizes, so Wednesday's show is not to be missed!

P.S. I found the rest of the standings! We're No Biscuits came in second and the Foreplayers fought We're Here for the Beer in a tie-breaker for third. It was Bert vs. Steve with Steve triumphant. The B52s with 51 and a half points came in fifth and Alice in Wonderland placed sixth.

Bube's: Wiser Heads Prevail

The Wise Men can finally stop following that star, since they won first place! The Tesla Death Rays were 11 points behind, with the fiber-fortified Chubby Stubbies only one question behind them. Out of the Vortex were too relaxed from their vacation, but still placed fourth, followed by Bube's Bitches and a mini-sized Tony Danza Slap! There was a tie for seventh, so we'll have two themes next week: the TV series "24," as chosen by the Omega Nutsack and "20th century warfare," as chosen by TDC.

Welcome back to Helen of the Crabby Dicks, Happy 21st Birthday to Doug and Happy not-21st Birthday to Brinkman.
Straight Outta Compton was a semi-new team that stumbled a bit in the last round, but vowed to come back. They were winners of the consolation prize of a huge box of make-your-own Cinnabuns mix, which they will use to fortify themselves while studying for their grad classes.

Please Help This Unfortunate Soul

Barb of the Sunday night trivia team known sometimes as The Price Is Right has come down with a condition known as kittenitis. (Symptoms include excessive mewling, unexplained milk stains and hair in unexpected places). She also suffers from an enlarged heart and hypersensitivity, which caused her to selflessly help a friend with an unwanted litter bottle-feed five kittens. Barb is now looking for homes for three of the critters, so if you know of anyone who wants a kitten, please let me know.

Chuckles: Farewell to Rick

Tonight, sadly, was Rick's last night at Chuckles. He's headed to the wilds of Woodbridge, Virginia (co-incidentally where my sister lives). Ric was a favorite server of many of the Chuckles' teams and will be sorely missed. We gave him a close night of competition for his sendoff, with the Beth-less Ubersmack taking first. Right behind were I've Got Your Estrogen Right Here featuring Susan's Belly Button Lint and the Lethal Amoebas. Skirtland missed the money by only one point, followed by Johnny Bones (see below) and, once again stuck in seventh place, The Tidy Bowlers. They chose the TV series "Friends" as their theme.
A new team, Johnny Bones, did really well, placing sixth, even though they missed the first round!
