Cat's from the Cradle



For you cat people out there, here's a touching video of a reunion story about a lion that was raised by humans then sent into the wild. Just turn off the sappy Whiutney Houston music and enjoy. Thansk to Bonnie for sending me the link.

VFW: Just Some Good Old Boys (and Girls)

Once again I Left my notes at home, so this is on memory. The Drunken Stepfathers merged with Room Two to take the grand prize. We then had the shortest Jack-off™ in history, with only three teeth pushed down. Carmen now holds the record, so Trivia at 8 got second and Chicks and Dicks third. In seventh was Alice in Wonderland, who chose card games as their theme. The other highlight of the night was The Foreplayers who played Russian jelly bean roulette.

Bube's: My Crabs Have Returned

It's always good to see the Crabby Dicks, who made a rare return appearance to Bube's. Traci, as always, asked for some extra tickets. There was no stopping the Nutsacks, who continuned their reign of terror. But they barely squeaked by the Ice Fly. A little farther back were the Toxic Olives, who managed to make it despite their leader's absence. Quietly Making Noise is quietly making its way up the leader board, too
A new team, Ice Fly, did extremely well, only one point behind the Nutsacks.
The Nutsacks are looking forward to watching the classic Timecop 2.
The Toxic Olives celebrated Craig and Kumiko's new home-ownership.
Quietly Making Noise's playlist got many favorable reviews. And they only missed the money by one question.
The Tony Danza Slap Loves Lance Mountain. Nuff said.
Puff n Suds had a most excellent night, winning the theme choice for next week (South Park), a half dozen chocolate-covered donuts AND bacon-flavored Spam.

Tom is a big fan of his Trashbag of Deelite prize: 7up marinade, now with extra high-fructose corn syrup!

Chuckles: VH1 for the Books

In this post-show shot, Paul is oblivious that Tim is hitting on a repulsed Trish, while Deric spends some quality time with his date (Pam, that is, not Duane). They just took home the gold, while Skirtland and the Intoxicated Intellectuals were right behind. A new team, Second Chance, almost made third place, followed by the Team With No Name and Out of the Vortex. The Tidy Bowlers, well rested from their vacation, took seventh and chose "Gilligan's Island" as their theme. Rabid Fox Syndrome, meanwhile, did a spectacular crash and burn and will be checking in to Celebreality Rehab.
Apparently Barrett has been weighing the Intoxicated Intellectuals down, since they had their best showing in a while without him.
The Celebration-bound Flo-Ridas spent their last night in Pennsylvania playing trivia and are looking forward to doing the same at Curtis' shows in Orlando.
The Black Knights, with a little help from Texas, are still waiting for the fifth round to finally make their move.

VFW: The Good, the Bert and the Crazy

Bert has gone a little crazy since last we saw her and the Foreplayers. Her team was mad for trivia and finally returned to the VFW. (Actually they returned last week, coincidentally the one week in the last five years when we didn't have trivia). They were a little rusty and didn't crack the top seven. Those honors went to Room Two, Trivia at Eight, Chicks and Dicks, Prius, the B52s, Mixed Company and the Zombies in that order).

Also, before I forget, a big thanks to new substitute host, the Other Mike!
Dave, the math teacher, was happy that he could easily divide his team's winnings with Frank and Kevin.
