Chuckles: A Tribute to Dad

Once again going on memory for this blurbage: Sunday marked the fourth-year anniversary of my dad's passing (that's him clowning around at right), so I chose questions that he would have approved of: Armstrong, the Steelers, Dairy Queen, Hee-Haw, etc. And the picture round spelled out his name. He was able to play trivia a couple of times when Curtis was doing the show, but was not able to see me host. But he always enjoyed hearing the questions.

The other themes for the night were Lincoln's cabinet (with which everyone did surprisingly well) and Hanson. Unfortunately, the mmmBop lyrics in the final round tripped many. Marge of Out of the Vortex, however, channeled her inner teeny-bopper and led her team to victory, squeaking by a last round surge by Skirtland. Ubersmack and the Amoebas tied for third, with the Meebs falling. They chose "Steely Dan lyrics" as their theme. The Laffy Taffy crew took fifth and kept it musical by picking Shania Twain lyrics. Props go to Bugman, who aced the picture round, Jackie and Brian of the Jelly Roll Mortons, who made it to two shows this week, and to Lori, who ably handled some drunken oafs who provided us with a halftime show. Team Zissou did extremely well, considering that they missed the first round. And Fonk du Jour CV Beat the Barons had one of their highest placings ever, almost making the coveted Top Five.
