You Can't Fix Stupid is applying for a trademark for The Fourth Round Crash-and-Burn™. At least they have some collard greens to take home.

Team Matilda, visiting from New York, had a great time.

Ma Barker's Posse got the warmest seat in the house.

Brent didn't know the hockey question, but he did know that he got the best prize from the Trashbag of Deelite: a cowboy-themed bowling ball bag/purse.

Turns out that Like Pop Rocks I Fizz in Your Mouth were last week's seventh placers, too. They had left their theme choice on their napkin, but the super-efficient Bube's staff had whisked it away.

Linuscratchitt said they'll be back with the warmer weather.

The Wu-Tang Killah Bees will never forget Harry Kallas.

Chuckles: A Hoppy Easter

The Twin Roses found a special guest in their Easter basket: Rick and Marie's son Josh, who helped them ace the bunny picture round. In fact, they led every round. Fun Size Ubersmack was second, while Skirtland was in third. The Screaming eagles were right behind, followed by Three Roads and the Miami Blades. Greg and Jean once again get to pick the theme, and this time Jean got to pick, so they are going with art materials.

The Department of Redundancy Department left behind their salmon and sweet potato dog treats.

Team Princess held down their end of the bar.

The Zombies brought along some family members and masqueraded as the Screaming Eagles.

Welcome back to the Alcoholics Autonomous!

Team Phoenix was new to the game, but still beat five teams.

Oh, B-Gosh Bag-Gorrah!

Tom Miller of Team Discovery Channel was recently featured in a New Era article about his bagpipe band. You may have heard him perform after the trivia show at Bube's. You can read the online version here.

VFW: Stand By Your Beer

The Italian Aftershocks are apparently big fans of country music as they pulled off a last round upset to win the gold. Either that, or Miller Lite fueled their brain cells. Trivia @ 8 featuring sugar junkie Dick was second and K-B finally had a good night and placed third. The Brooklyn Dodgers were oh-so-close in fourth followed by a tie for fifth between Chicks and Dicks and the B52s. Theme choice goes to Laurie Morgan, Trisha Yearwood and Natalie Mains and they are celebrating April 15th with taxes.

Bube's: The Cult of Snuggie!

No, we're not in Rio de Janiero, that is just Steve modelling tonight's grand prize: a royal blue Snuggie. It was As Seen on TV night and I gave away the backwards robe at the finale. I also found out that it's not the most mobile garment as I attempted to wear it during the first round. Steve's team came in third, right behind You Can't Fix Stupid and the Toxic Olives. Hold Me Closer Tiny Danza was only one question behind, followed by Quietly Making Noise and the Hot Richards. Our seventh place team Tony I'm Feeling Skinny bolted before picking a theme, so it will be host's choice next week. Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

You Can't Fix Stupid celebrated their highest placing ever. And they only missed first by one question!

The Toxic Olives had a most excellent night, thanks to Becky's lucky purple elephant watering can.

Quietly Making Noise is despondent that they didn't make it two in a row. Everyone but Vanessa, that is. She enjoys losing.

The Hot Richards told me to look up their name in an urban dictionary, but I have a feeling it's NSFW.
