Take Off Your Shirt

After a nearly month-long hiatus, trivia returned to a new look TC Pub last night. Tables were rearranged, the dartboards moved (or removed), and a raised dance floor highlight the changes. Sounds to me like the dance floor presents a golden opportunity for some “ladies only” challenges.

J&B represented by Chemical Man, Hilts, Stix, Gf and Joe Montana.

TC Pub represented by Glasses (and not the lying Earth Mother).

The competition: Bar, Bada Bing, Tres Senoritas Ho Ho Ho, and Bovine Beauties (led by an obnoxious, cleavage-baring, pony-tailed brunette who apparently received cries of “take off your shirt” from the Bar prior to my arrival).

First Half: Music/Movies/Sports

Best Actress from 2005 Academy Awards?
Year Ava Gardner died?

Within 0.2 what is Ted Lilly’s best single-season ERA?

The last question lead to controversy after the Bar gave the exact answer but were caught looking in the newspaper. Benkowski disallows the question: “You’ve got 48 people at the bar, but I know, only 6 are playing.”

Scores at the half: Bar 1040 Bovine 1010 Senoritas 620 Bada Bing 520 and shockingly J&B will have control to begin the second half: 490

Second Half: Chicago Streets & Places/Sports/Music Then & Now

What town if you are at 1200 N Central?
(guess from Senoritas for the above: Lake Forest)

J&B has a nice roll during the second half, including an accusation by Bovines that we have GPS systems in our wallets.

Scores going into Final question: Bar 2430 J&B 2030 Bovines 1120 Senoritas 910
Bada Bing 600

Final Category: due to complaints that recent music questions were from eras too far back, the final category would be more contemporary: U2 and Mariah Carey.

J&B wagers 900. 2 of 3 wins wager. 3000 bonus for all 3 correct.

U2- 2000- Record of the Year?
Carey- 2001- hit “Lover Boy” came from her movie, titled?
Carey- 1998- number one hit, 2-word title, “none of her rap-ish helpers…no Snoop…no Whitney.”

Do you even want to take a shot at those?

Part II

J&B guesses: Beautiful Day, Glitter and Lover Boy. Yeah, we know Lover Boy was already attributed to 2001 in the previous question, but we didn’t have anything else.

First Half:
Hilary Swank
1990
3.69

Second Half:
Chicago

Bada Bing- 600- guesses Achtung Baby (no), Glitter (yes) and no guess for the third- wagered 600- thanks for playing.

Tres Senoritas- 910- guess Beautiful Day (yes), Glitter (yes) and Angel Baby (no)- wagered 910- up to 1820.

Bovines- 1120- guess Pop Art (no), Glitter (yes) and Dream Lover (no)- wagered 1001- left with 119.

J&B- 2030- guesses Beautiful Day (yes), Glitter (yes) and Lover Boy (no)- wagered 900- up to 2930.

The Bar is already taunting us.

Bar- 2430- guesses Beautiful Day (yes), Glitter (yes) and Dream Lover (no)- wagered 1631- up to 4061.

Quote from Bar: “That’s a lot of f****** points.”
Benkowski: “We might need an inquest soon.”

Only answer that nobody had correct was the Mariah Carey song: My All.

Notes:

The next trivia (and last trivia of 2006 at TC Pub) will be this Sunday,
December 10th at 6:00. This trivia night will also be “Stix’s Music Christmas Party” with the rest of J&B declared unofficial employees of Stix’s for the night. Early indications are that most of J&B is already “in” for this holiday event.

From the above, deduce that there will not be trivia at TC Pub on Thursday,
December 21st.

The trivia championship is still set for Thursday, December 28th at Salerno’s (Grand and Racine). J&Bers who will be in attendance this Sunday at TC Pub will need to come up with a deposit for at least 5 players. Fee is $19 per player (assumed to include dinner buffet, as in the past). I don’t recall if there was a limit on the number of players for the championship. Who is in for the Championship?
