The Ivey Is Growing!

Congrats to Chris and Julie Ivey, who welcomed Lucien James Ivey to the world this week. Little Lucien promptly grabbed the forceps and scalpel out of the doctor's hands and began to juggle them.

VFW: Trivia Royal with Cheese

First off, thumbs up to the Stars and Stripes Fish N Chips special, topped off with Carmen's Double Chocolate Cupcakes. Just what was needed for a fun night of Pulp Fiction competition. Friends of Stub Hub returned tot he winners' circle, one question ahead of K-B (I think the change of tables actually helped Karen and Bob, since the air was not as rarefied at their lowtop. Mixed Company went away with a third place gift certificate with a blank amount, so they'll be ordering filet mignon next week. Our defending champs, Chicks and Dicks, was fourth and the B52s featuring peanutbutterhater Barry was fifth. Devilin' overruled Trish, so they fell to sixth and 2-H+2 and It's Just a Freakin' Game tied for seventh, so we'll have two themes next week: The Ultimate Fighting Championship and TV Commercials.

Bube's: Who's On First?

That would be a brand new team, Fruits and Nuts Featuring Brown Sugar, Oatmeal and Stir Stick. They were convinced that they had lost and headed out before their name was announced. Luckily Nathan of the Nutsacks knew them and theoretically delivered their gift certificate. The Fool Monkey was six points behind, followed by Take My Nutsack, Please (Is This Thing On?) Quietly Making Noise changed their name to Chipmunk Jamboree and had to settle for fourth, two points ahead of the Toxic Olives. The Carnivores got their first taste of trivia action and vowed to be back. Rumplemintz was sixth and the Triviettes were seventh. And for the first time in trivia history I did not write down their theme and cannot recall it, so for now it is TBA. I will investigate...

VFW: Tomorrow's Theme

Pulp Fiction

Bube's Theme for Tonight

Classic stand-up comics and their routines.

Chuckles: V for Victory

Ubersmack claimed victory tonight, squeaking by Skirtland by two points and one question ahead of Here's Hoping I get That Internship with David Letterman. Raking Leaves and Loving It was fourth, while The Return of Captain Stupid and the Twin Roses tied for fifth. Second Collection will chose next week's theme and they are going with Saturday Night Live.

Go See This Woman!

Barb DeCesare of Winter Radio Theater will be doing a reading of her works at Dogstar Books in Lancaster (the corner of West Chestnut and Pine) this Wednesday, October 14th, 7 P.M.. I can't make it, but y'all need to go see her and tell me how wonderful it was!

Bube's: Captions to Come

Octobapalooza Tourney at Bube's!

The Octobapalooza Trivia Tournament begins tonight at Bube's!

Halloween Is Coming!

Chuckles: 20's Company

The nice weather is bringing out teams from the woodwork, as we celebrated the 70s schlockfest known as Three's Company. Ubersmack had a last-round rally to place first, six points ahead of Second Collection. Raking the Leaves was one question ahead of Skirtland and the Zombies, while We Can Win With Tickets placed a respectable sixth. The Miami Blades "V is for Vendetta" as their theme for next week. Rich and Donna, AKA A Wing and a Prayer, meanwhile, would like to remind everyone that they were in first place in the first three rounds.
