First Place: Steak Em Up 106
T-2nd Place: My Name is Buck 95
T-2nd Place: Duane’s World 95
Despite my best intentions, Steak Em Up was still able to emerge victorious at the JGT Summer Invitational. A wild card round unlike any I had ever hosted, in which teams had to smell and determine spices, did not do the damage I had hoped to the Steak, and they cruised to a 106-95-95 win over Duane’s World and My Name Is Buck. It was an interesting quiz, complete with crossword puzzles, strange smells, and the super smooth stylings of the Crowd Pleasers. And congrats to the Inglorious Barristers, who won the big drawing. All of the scores are below. I’ll have more of the questions and such later in the day Monday or early Tuesday…I have to get my wisdom teeth removed Monday morning, and plan on spending my day Monday in a codeine induced haze. I do have a few spice sniffing photos posted over on facebook. If you got any photos from the event, please post them there! And I had a couple of teams already ask me if we could do this again in the winter, so I think it was a pretty big hit. Here’s the scores.

- DUANE’S WORLD 95
- MY NAME IS BUCK AND I’M HERE TO PARTY 95

The decent thing here would be to congratulate BMT, Koob and the rest of their team on their victory. But when have I ever done the decent thing and why should I start now? JGT, in a recent post you put forth the question as to whether these people are human or not. I'm thinking that they must be space aliens or something. But if so, why are they wasting their time playing quizzo to score some free drinks and some pin money? There must be more to it than that. Are they conducting some sort of intergalactic sociological study?
Assuming that they're not space aliens, Goodtimes, you simply have to do something about this quizzo juggernaut, this friggin' conspiracy in restraint of trade. If Roosevelt could bust the trusts, you should be able to handle Steak 'em Up. If they could bust up Standard Oil, Steak 'em Up should pose no problem. Something has to be done.
Sigh. I say stupid and insulting things and I still can't get any reaction. Either people are too busy being hung over, or they're on to my act, or maybe both.
I am pretty sure we're at that point in human history where we can declare something permanent: nobody can beat Steak 'Em Up. The greatest team in quizzo history simply gets stronger and stronger every week. Little known point of trivia: our original name was Stimulate Your Prostate.
