The ladies of Laffy Taffy made a return to Cafe Chuckles.

We Can Crush Your Head...With Tickets! are not fans of the Chicken Lady.

Christine wants more pictures of the servers on the blog, so here she is on her off night with Sasha of the Steelers.

The Braves needed a more exciting name, so they chose The Fighting Braves and struck terror in the hearts of their competitors.

VFW: Steve Knows Jack

Steve was a happy camper, since he got his coveted Jack Link's beef jerky. And his team almost got third place, falling one point behind Hot Rod Blagojevich. The Rods were only one question behind Trivia @ 8. But the night belonged to Chicks and Dicks, who got 9 out of 10 right in the last round. Room Two with Matt Squared placed fifth and D&M was sixth. I tolf the two teams that tied for seventh to please pick holiday themes for next week's Christmas show, so we're going with Twas the Night Before Christmas (Nix Lix) and White Christmas (the movie; The B52s).

Nerak and P.J. was a new team that did really well, despite missing the entire first round.

Bube's: Slap Attack

The Tony Danza Slap finally made it to the winners' circle tonight, but almost succumbed to the Cowtippers, who were only three points behind. Last Week I Lost 30 Million Dollars When My Gun Slipped Down My Sweat Pants and Shot Me in the Nutsack was third, one point ahead of Affleck was the Bomb in Phantoms, who was one point ahead of GoBias Industries. Not the Oil Lobbyists was late to arrive, but placed sixth and You Can't Fix Stupid Unless You Go to the Caribbean in the Middle of the Winter was seventh. They picked the vampire TV series True Blood as their theme for next week.

Rachel and Puck, the Cowtippers, proved that you can do well with a small team.

Quietly Making Noise was the mixmasters for the evening.

Randy and Bob, formerly of the Tesla Death Rays, changed their name to We Flew Private Jets to Dolla Beer Night. Bob depends on the Trashbag of Deelite for his wardrobe. This week he gort a Rod Stewart 2005 tour t-shirt.

GoBias Industries (as in GoBias a Drink) was only one question away from second place.

Christmas Card Address Correction

Trish of the Twin Roses told me that Walter Reed Hospital will not accept Christmas cards addressed to "A Recovering Soldier," so I checked it out at Snopes.com and it is unfortunately true:

The American Red Cross, however, has a similar program for cards for veterans and active soldiers, so please send them to:

Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

More info on their program is available here:

Chuckles: Roses in Bloom

Trish is desperately trying to fend off the attack of photobomber Alan as The Twin Roses celebrate their momentous victory tonight. It was a bizarre night of topsy-turvy trivia, as Sasha was behind the bar and Kirsten was in front. And the Roses moved to a suburban table. The change of venue did them good, since they leapt from fifth to first place, beating of Pixie Stix and Whirlygigs by three points and Skirtland by 8. Ubersmack was minus their Biblical scholar Paul and placed fourth. Haywood Jablome was fifth and Out of the Vortex sixth. In lucky seventh place was We Can Win ...With Tickets (Must Sing!) and their theme choice is...

...The Kids in the Hall.

After the show Deric and I enjoyed some Baconnaise from Smiller on chicken fingers as Lee and Charlie of Skirtland looked on in disgust.

St. James Christmas Party

Thanks to Frank for inviting me back to host the annual St. James Men's Club Christmas Party for the third year in a row. Many people braved the first blizzard of the season to attend a competitive night of trivia and fried cheese. Before we get to the winning teams , let's see the winner of Best Christmas Sweater: Amy!

The Board and Their Broads pulled an upset in the last round by getting nine out of ten and won by one point. They were awarded lottery six tickets and won 100 pennies! (which sounds more impressive than a dollar) Mick is also proudly displaying tomorrow night's dinner.

The St. James Elves also nearly aced the last round as they leapt from fourth to second.
