Power Rankings 1/21

1. Steak Em Up (Bards). Brought in Jam Master Phil to play with them on Tuesday. Apparently Garbo, Kenney and Nate didn’t have enough firepower. Spineless, yellow bellied cowards. Last week: #1

2. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). 4 straight wins at the Black Sheep. They’re on a roll. Last week: #2

3. The Jams (Locust Rendezvous). Fall at the Vous on Wednesday, but hold their #3 spot thanks to an OT loss by our #4 team. Last week: #3

4. Tempura House (North Star). An OT loss, but any team that finishes tied for first in a packed house like North Star deserves a nod. Last week: #5

5. Sidecardigans (Sidecar). A strangely quiet Sidecar this week, but the Sidecardigans make it two in a row with a two point win. Last week: #6

6. Clown Question Bro (Rendezvous). After seven 2nd place finishes in the past 3 months, they finally bring it home this past week. Congrats! Last week: #10

7. Mysterious Mr. Mapother (O’Neals). After a several week lull, they blow it up this past Tuesday at O’Neals. Huge win for the franchise, which needed to get its fan base reenergized after several tough defeats. Last week: #14

8. Savage Ear (Ugly American). Playing as “No Current Events”, they score a stunning win over a packed house at Ugly American on Thursday. Problem is, every time they crack the top 10, they take a month long sabbatical. Can they finally get their acts together? Last week: NR

9. Stillmaniacs (North Star). OT win at North Star launches them into the Top 10. This team may very well have a run to the top 5 in them. Last week: NR

10. Bears Are Scared of Jazz Hands (O’Neals). Took the week off. I think they were mad at me because I didn’t make their party. Totally my wife’s fault. She was tired at 8:30 and convinced me to stay in. Your party was too late for us old people. 5 p.m. parties if you want us to make it out. And plenty of Polident. Last week: #4

French Fry Thursday

This is one of my better quizzes in a while, quite frankly. My girlfriend (above, that’s me with my arm around her) told me so online. A little something for everyone….if you know your pop culture you should play tonight, if you know your music you should play tonight, and if you know your history you should play tonight. The picture round is pretty much awesome. Action starts at Ugly American at 8 p.m. Excellent opportunity to get a win. ANd I’m gonna give away some fries!

On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. Not sure how Steak Em Up is going to do with tonight’s quiz. It’s a bit of departure from our normal quiz, so I am hoping they fail miserably. Hope to see you kids tonight!
