I believe this is the Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience team. Although they didn't make the top five, they did extremely well in our impromptu TV theme Name That Tune round which we did after the regular show.
Parrot Bay was doing well until a horrible third round.
The Browncos made it to trivia two nights in a row. They're determined to win Bill's big box of Chips Ahoy.
The Three Generations team insisted that I get a pic of their patriarch to prove that he was out of the house.
Girls on the Prowl. Were they successful? They're not telling.
I feel bad (badly?) that I didn't get a pic of Karen and Cory of the KC team. That's Karen's arm behind the post behind "the lovely Gary."
The Wacky Corner was a fun group that sat at the corner of the bar, of all places.
Dan was happy he got off work early and made the second round.
I think these might be the No Name team, but I'm not sure. We reminisced about good old Millersville State College, though.
So these folks are either Two for the Road or the appropriately named No Name team.

My Apologies to All Buddhists

Tonight Billy "Buddha Belly" Warmth is taking a well-deserved vacation, so I'll be filling in for him at his Barn Door show in Millersville. The hilarity begins at 8:30 p.m.

Chuckles: We're Baaaack!

The big news for tonight's action was the return of the Carlsburg 8. They were regulars at Chuckles under the old regime and had been on hiatus until they decided to check out our Earth Trivia show. And they quickly returned to their winning ways, tying for third with the Price Is Right. So Bill faced Fritz for the Captain Jack-off and lost. They chose US geography as their theme. The Talents Scouts were close behind in fifth and chose the Simpsons as their theme. Last week's champs, Ubersmack, almost made it two in a row, but the Lethal Amoebas surprised themselves by taking first. Fun new team names included Major Copper Penny, Co-Ach-Ee and the Wankers. I don't think I'd Like to Buy Bill and Tim a Shot's team-naming strategy worked, however. And the Browncos debated whether NASCAR qualifies as a sport.

Dog Days of Summer

I went to my niece's surprise birthday party over the weekend and entered a strange world where dogs had taken over the planet ("damn you! damn you all to helllllll!") Seriously, there were probably 12 cow-sized dogs there. This is a pic of their leader, the world's biggest Burmese.

VFW: Go Ask Alice . . .

... and she'll tell you where to go. It was Acid Rock night at the VFW, but Clyde's flashbacks didn't work as he forgot about the Amboy Dukes. In fact, the entire fourth round was a bad trip for everyone, since the high score was a whopping 56! But that didn't stop people from having a fun time. The Senior Idiots from another VFW post were going to leave, but stayed for the entire game, as did recuperating John and his daughter and Dee, as they joined the B52s. The most controversial team name of the night was Frankie and Johnny Were Not Lovers, as some people thought they protested too much. Fifth place went to D & M, who chose Spongebob Squarepants as their theme (Mel watches her grandchild a lot); the Foreplayers chose WWII; Room Two recovered from a horrible first round to take third. Mixed Company, with champion speller Carol, took second, and We're Here for the Beer rose to the top for the first time in a long while.

Bube's: We Are the Champions! (Sort Of)

The Crabby Dicks (AKA "The Crabby Dicks Are Back to Defend Their Title As The Worst Trivia Team Ever!") had to seriously re-think their name since they finally made the top five! Congrats to Jimmy, Tracy, Helen and Jenny! They chose figure skating as their theme. They were followed by Linuscratchitt, who chose The Artist Presently Known As Prince as their theme. TDC was third, the Toxic Olives (despite a faulty cartographer on board) were second, and the true champions of the night were Is That An African or European Nutsack? Congrats to to the 'sacks for two in a row. Also, thanks to Becky for providing a chili set as our grand prize.
We welcomed a brand new team tonight. And as a former Columbian, I particularly liked their name "The River Rats."
Bonnie and Kristen of Linuscratchitt refused to be photographed with their musical partners, Kirk and Phil.
Bill models his 12 Weeks shirt from last week. As he says "Where else can I wear this shirt?"
Chris and Brian of Eat It Raw put their heads together and only missed the winner's circle by one five-point question.
