Of Pixie Stic and Whirlygigs were fueled by lime-centered Dentyne.

Gawky Domino missed third place by a measly point.

Bill demonstrates how Out of the Vortex manages such high scores every week.

Thanks to the Miami Blades for sharing one of Cara's birthday cupcakes with me!

The Zombies had to settle for Kimmy's favorite: chocolate coconut snowballs from Little Debbie.

VFW: It's Not Straub's Brewery

No, this is not a picture of tonight's winning team Phillies 5 Game Win Streak - Suck It Mets! It's actually the Strawbs, a seventies progressive rock band that I had never heard of until this week. Clyde had chosen them as a theme to protest the selection of Springsteen the following week. We were going to boo Clyde for not showing up, but he put in a fourth round appearance and played with the second place team, Chicks and Dicks. Mike and Kevin, AKA Still Stupid took the bronze, six points ahead of the B52s. The Brooklyn Dodgers were only two points behind, one question aahead of KB. That gave theme choice to It's Just a Freaking Game, and they are going with freshwater fish.

Bube's: Ties Galore

Better Nate Than Lever had their first victory after tying for the top spot with the Lame-Os. Jason then proved to be the better Jack-offer than Katie and took the prize. There was another tie, this time a three-way for third between the Nutsacks, the Toxic Olives and the Tony Danza Slap, so Steve, Laura and Matt went at it, with the Slap victorious.

The Tony Danza Slap enjoy their bronzy victory.

God Save the Nutsacks was one of the tie-breaking casualties.

The Cereal Killers changed their name to the best of the night: One Ball Paul and the Rhythm Disciples.

You Can't Fix a Broke John Thomas are our theme pickers for next week, and they're going with Saturday Night Live.

Ashley and Josh of Puff 'N Suds took a break from grad studies to return to their old corner of the bar.

After much deliberation, they settled on We're Pretty as their team name.

Wait for It...

There's a rumor that there will be a very special trivia night at Bube's on Monday, July 27th . . .

Chuckles: We Love the '80s!

Carol and Dwight, AKA the Jello Shooters, used their extensive recall of 80s pop tunes to win a special bonus audio round of trivia which we played "after hours." They scored a whopping 19 out of a possible 20 points! They won a Starbucks gift card and, more importantly, a huge Sunshine Care Bear. Gawky Domino was second, followed by our theme pickers, Slick Freddy and the Usual Suspects. Thanks to Andrew of the Miami Blades for de-clogging my iPod, btw.

Second Collection moved to the bar and took home the gold in our regular game, one question away from Team C.H.U.D. Farther behind were Big Vac Attack, Slick Freddy, Gawky Domino and Ubersmack. Twin Roses was thrilled to get next week's theme pick: the wacky world of knitting!

Upcoming Themes

Still doing barebones blogging. Here are the upcoming themes:

Chuckles: '80s song lyrics

Also, congrats to Twin Roses, the 'Sacks and  Chick and Dick for their first-place victories this week.

I'm starting to freak out since I haven't gotten nearly as much done on my stay-cation as I had planned. So, for the time being, here are a bunch of pix with some limited captions from the last couple of weeks. Enjoy!

Pix, Pix and More Pix!

Linuscratchitt consoled themselves with some snicker doodles and placed fourth.

You Can't Fix Stupid was the grand prize winner of tickets for six to a Barnstormers game. I think we're going next Saturday.
