A Cure for Insomnia

Well, my day job has temporarily become my night job, since the library is currently open 24 hours during finals week, and I'm working midnight to 8 A.M. If you're trying to stay awake during an all-nighter, I do not recommend doing a google image search on "yawn."

And now, this editorial...

Hi, My name is Floyd R. Turbo, and I object to the content of this blog.

Lititz VFW

Bob and Sue and a returning Sheila (Floyd R. Turbo's main squeeze) joined the B52s and helped them to get second place for the second week in a row. Carl joined Mark and Sheila (no, not that Sheila, the other one) to make a new threesome. Room 2 put out and APB for Jerry, who picked Penn State Football as a theme and then did not show up. The Tedless Posse managed third and We're Here for the Beer did their patented fourth-round comeback to win. Their farm team, Just Here, led the night, but were up the Tiber without a paddle in the end. So we called it a night and then all enjoyed a big bowl of Texas butter.

Bubes Brewery

Tuesday night saw the return of Out of the Vortex to Bubes Brewery. Keith and Marge were joined by trash-talking Billy Warmth, who made good on his prediction to beat their arch-rivals The Toxic Olives. Josh's Ubersmack team had their best showing yet, tying for second with Team Discovery Channel. The Nutsacks returned after a short absence only to find that their trivia muscles had atrophied a little. Team Porsche did exceptionally well, considering they missed the first round. But it was the comeback kids Tig Ole Bitties that provided the night's drama, with a big charge to win at the end. On the Trashbag of Deelite front, Seth instructed Missy to always go for the shirt of the week. This week it was the much-coveted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt, complete with slight trivia-host smell (ewww...) And Dave was dee-lited to get a mound of plastic dog poo (again I say ewww...)

P.S. Vortex chose The West Wing and Dead Bear Baby chose The Chapelle Show (Season 1) as next week's mini-themes.

Watch out, Harry Potter!

Lititz VFW

The story of the evening was rising stars and falling stars. Throughout the night it was a face-off between the Posse and the extra-lite version of Major Hooters (Welcome back, Mark and Sheila). But both teams did a spectacular crash and burn in the fourth round, allowing We're Here for the Beer to take first, narrowly beating 3 Chicks and "2" Dicks by a mere three points. The legal eagle duo of Clyde and Jerry (AKA Room 2) got the gold star for most improved team, as they had the best score of the fourth. They picked Penn State football and folk rock as next week's mini-themes. It should be pointed out to the absent Sheila that Leslie and Dennis had their highest placing in recent memory. And we'll have to wait and see if Skip bakes anything with those butterscotch chips that he won. Also: thanks to Annie and the Yard Apes for sticking around for the show.

Team Discovery Channel

TDC's third round comeback and Travis' gaming skills put them in this week's winning circle.

The World's Smartest Man

Adam tells Shannon that the Bears came in second after Jason lost to Travis in the first-place Don't Break the Ice tie-breaker.

Johnny and the Pipettes

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!

Where's my prize?

A huge gang of Dairy Concept/Fontera people, half of which spoke with a vaguely Australian accent, took over the front room tonight.

Yet another table full of Fonteras.

This was the champion team of the entire Dairy Concepts group. Known as the Sharks, they did extremely well until the killer fourth round.

And the round table makes 4

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.

Kyle, our esteemed bartender, bears a striking resemblance to a certain trivia host, don't you think?
