Last week we had a little run in when we had a team that slowly trickled up to 10 players, and when they had a perfect score through 3, I made two players sit the sidelines. The team (who shall remain nameless, although they won this week with 8 players) cried that they had two people who weren’t playing, just hanging out. It turned into a somewhat vociferous debate, though all was cool by this week. So needless to say, I was quite tickled when I stumbled onto the website of a Milwaukee quizmaster, and found the following:
In the past there have been several debates at several different Milwaukee taverns with regard to the number of players on a team.
“That team has ten players.”
“Oh, but two of them are not playing, they’re just here.”
Stated in the rules of Milwaukee Quizmaster trivia, teams are limited to a maximum of eight players per team. The actual individuals playing may vary each week, but can not exceed eight people…Unfortunately, to ensure things are fair, Milwaukee Quizmaster can not accept any of this “they’re not playing” bollocks. Quite honestly, if someone is “not playing” and a question comes up that they know the answer to, it’s more than likely they will share it with the rest of the team.

Kudos, Milwaukee Quizmaster. Bollocks indeed! Viva la Quiz!

I was looking through birthdays and came across Kim Peek. He was the inspiration for Rain Man. Here is a documentary on Peek. I thought you might enjoy it. Part one is above.

Still plugging away at this mystery that ginger and I embarked on a few days ago. I think it’s going to be a good one. It’s about a creepy old tunnel. Just lots of video and info to go through. As for tonight, here’s the line-up:

• Locust Rendezvous 6:15 p.m.
• Black Sheep 8 p.m.

Hope to see you tonight!

Alright, finally gonna get photos up of last weeks winners. Got some really cool adventure stuff done yesterday. Still got quite a bit of editing to do. This is going to be a bit more intense than the hole in the basement. Anyways, underneath the picture will be a question about Washington, our 42nd state, admitted to the Union on this date in 1889.

The lovely Ginger and I are working on another mystery today. I’ll post photos of last weeks winners as soon as aI get a chance. Word. In the meantime, here’s me griping about the Eagles blowing it against the Giants last night.

Quizzo tonight and tomorrow will have a decidedly Presidential twist, as all questions will be inspired by Presidents, past, present, real, and imagined. Hope to see you tonight!

• O’Neals 8 p.m.
• Bards 10:15 p.m.

My awful time at Funville, Obama the Anti-Christ, and websites that help you cheat on your wife. Check it out.

Ok, so there were only three winners last week, so this should be quick. Just gonna post a photo, followed by a question about someone having a birthday today. One guess per person.

We’ll go into detox in November. Seriously, we will. But for now let’s keep this party going. Good Dog at 8 p.m., Bards at 10:15 p.m. I’ll see ya there!
