Chuckles: Lift High Your Skirts

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we returned to our full strength. Skirtland had the magical team combo and made it back to the winner's circle tonight, ahead of Ubersmack and the Price Is Right Is Boring/Frustrated/Perplexed. Ben stated that Billy Warmth was hiding from their team. Only one question behind were Car Ramrod and the Intoxicated Intellectuals. A little farther back were the Talents Scouts and the theme-picking women of Laffy Taffy (their choice for next week: Friends). The Twin Roses, featuring Toyota-hugging Sue and Ubersmack cracked the secret code of the picture round and were rewarded with useless lottery tickets. Sue's Crew applauded the Price Is Right's honesty. And, this just in: WCWWT is now on strike.

Carol and Karen's beer knowledge kept them in the running.

For the second week in a row we had a team of Ron Paul supporters playing the game. This time it was the Awesome Face Team, featuring Columbia native Nelson Ressler.

It's Chillin' Wit mah Gnomies, with special guest star Alan.

Amangeric attempts to do one of those "I'm-taking-a-picture-of-you-while-you're-taking-a-picture-of-me" paradoxes.

Tim approves of Deric finger-massaging Kelly's temples in an effort to extract Peter Rabbit info from the recesses of her mind.

VFW: Cavalry Led by Grant

I thought it was Amy, but Pat is pointing to the secret weapon of Mixed Company, Grant (all three agreed that it was not Bruce). He was responsible for five of the correct answers in the last round, which allowed his team to squeak by Chicks and Dicks. The Chix/Dix had been hoping for a three-peat, but the Olympics question did Erma and her crew in. And, once again, Shitz and Giggles imploded, but still managed third. There was a tie for fourth between Room 69 and We're Here for the Beer, while Cheryl and her siblings, the Dumb Blondes placed sixth. Kopper Plumbing, meanwhile, had to settle for a bag of popcorn.

Joel and Shannon (You and Me) were joined by Scottie to become You and Me and Him. The trio came in seventh and chose '80s music as their theme.

Bube's: Come Tuesday

It was Jimmy Buffet night at Bube's, and it was an ideal theme for a sweltering night. I dusted off my worst Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops, while the Trashbag featured tropical prizes like dried pineapple and coconut milk (yum!). I also blew my budget and gave away a big bottle of Margarita mix, won by one of the few underage players of the night, Nate of the Nutsacks.

The heat must have done wonders for everyone's noggin, since we had the highest scoring night in a looong time. Wahoo (pictured above) had the biggest upset victory since the Giants beat the Patriots (if you can remember back that far), when they came from behind with a perfect last round, scoring a 97. Then they rode off into the sunset, bound for Cleveland. (They only come into town once a year on business, so we'll be looking out for them in 2009.)

Seth and Laura and Tom finally got some extra firepower with Missy and Pals as Team Discovery Channel led the first three rounds. They're still in shock that they came in second with 96 points.

The Wisemen ...and Patty ...and Erin had a good night, placing third. Props to Brent for also going with the Buffet theme and wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

The Tony Danza Slap came in seventh and chose as their theme "Pennsylvania Oddities." And I get to interpret that however I may wish.

The Slags are making a fashion statement with their pickings from the Trashbag of Deelite: a bag of bandanas!

It's Vanessa and the Brians (not to be confused with Pinky and the Brain). This week they were known as Quietly Making Noise. They were in shock that their team high of 82 points was only good for fifth place, right behind On Deric's Behalf the Nutsacks Would Like to Thank Gisele for Wearing Out Tom Brady.

Take That, Patriots! had to have the highest points-per-person for the night. If only they could skip the picture round.

Ron and Toni weren't going to stay, but got sucked in.

Paco's Tacos had an identity crisis and changed their name in the third round to something unprintable.

Now That's Using Your Head!

Congrats to the Giants!

Chuckles: The Other Super Bowl

Here's a pic of tonight's winning team, The Price of Talented Tidy Bowlers Is Right Out of the Vortex. (You can disregard Steve's use of a cellphone since this shot was taken post-gamo.) Ron Paul for President almost pulled a come-from-behind victory, but changed one answer at the last minute. Trish and Dawn and the Gardener, meanwhile leapt from fifth to third to take the bronze. We Can Win... With Tickets! have decided to change their name since they haven't visited the Trashbag of Deelite in over a month.

Due to something called the Super Bowl, we had an extremely intimate night of trivia, with only eight teams playing. The Princess team dropped out early to focus on the game, so I used my Host Perogative to claim theme choice as my own for next week. It'll be a surprise and will only be revealed the night of the game, so you can take a week off from studying.

Second place winners Ron Paul for President provided everyone with bumper stickers for their candidate.
