Save the Chief vs J&B (cage match)
Written by DL
names edited by Hilts
It was a crowded bar and an early start to trivia (for once) as J&B looked for its first win of the 2007 season. For the second time in a row, J&B is forced to sit away from its home table. Nobody ever forced Norm Peterson to move twice.
J&B represented by Chemical Man, Stix, hilts, Dragon, Gf and Lazers (and Pepys arrived for the post-game show)
TC Pub represented by Glasses, sporting perfume, curl in her hair, and looking fantastic tonight.
The competition: Save the Chief, Bar, Tres Senoritas, PTR, Kevin’s Out, and F’n Lloyd. Tonight, the Chief group included a cute Asian gal that appeared to be the girlfriend of the main Chief guy. Me do trivia all night long.
First Half: Entertainment/Music with “M”/Mostly 90s Bears
1998- sang “Frozen”?
The above question was the first question of the night, and whichever team went first used their Hangman option in order to corral those 50 points, at least tying if not setting the record for earliest use of Hangman ever.
1998- sang “Uninvited”?
The above was the second question of the night, and one of the other teams selected their Hangman option. Two questions, two Hangmen.
2002 Emmy for Best Actress- Comedy Series?
It wasn’t the third question of the night, but it was the third use of Hangman in the first quarter. Rookies.
2001- led Bears with 5 interceptions?
3 players led Bears twice each in receptions during the 90s?
2 players led the Bears three times each in sacks in the 90s?
1995 Oscar- Best Supporting Actress- Mira Sorvino- which movie?
A “Ladies Only Long-Distance Roll/Throw” pits J&B against the Bar. Gf battles Glasses…measurement needed…Rene is 52 inches away…. Glasses is 47 inches away…Bar takes the points.
Another “Long-Distance” battle pits J&B against Save the Chief (it may have been this point at which Benkowski tried to nip Chief’s verbal attempts to rattle J&B throwers in the bud). Hilts wins in a blowout.
Scores at the half: Bar 1080 J&B 970 Chief 620 Senoritas 470 Kevin 380 Lloyd 270 and PTR will start the second half.
Second Half: Chicago Locations/Music/Sports
Team with most World Series appearances in the 90s?
Only MLB player with over 14,000 career at-bats?
3 Bear quarterbacks with over 100 completions each, 1999 season?
A “Ladies Only Long-Distance Roll” pits J&B against Save the Chief. Rene against the Asian girl (for the only “ladies only” contest she agreed to join). Gf rolls first. The Asian girl then takes her attempt… which is immediately disqualified by Benkowski for not being a roll. The Chief is upset at the ruling. The main Chief guy is hot. The Asian girl is hot (I mean that literally- she did some great bending for her throw).
Trophy is bartending tonight and at one point comes over to tell us that it’s killing him that he has to be nice to us since he’s working.
After possibly being shut out during the third quarter, J&B has a strong finish (with the DQ of the Chief playing a big part)- Scores after two halves: J&B 2110 Bar 1620 Chief 1390 Kevin 990 Senoritas 670 F’n 610 PTR 320
Final Category- three options from which to choose:
1) Bears of the 2000s
2) Classic Sitcoms
3) Song Lyrics 80s/90s/00s
Two of three will win wager. All three correct wins a bonus.
J&B selects Sitcoms and wagers the classic (to beat the Bar by 1 if they double). Three teams selected Sitcoms, three teams selected Lyrics, and only the Bar selected the Bears.
Sitcoms:
1) Dick Van Dyke Show: Ritchie Petrie’s middle name?
2) Andy Griffith Show: trouble-maker from the hills named ______ _ ____?
3) I Love Lucy: Lucy Ricardo’s maiden name?
Lyrics (artist or song title):
1) 80s: “He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich”
2) 90s: “Slam me to the left, if you’re having a good time. Shake it to the right, if you know that you feel fine.”
3) 00s: “We’re in the car. We drive slow.”
Bears:
1) Bears W-L record in 2000 (within 1)?
2) 2001-2002: caught 197 passes for over 2200 yards combined?
3) 2000- led Bears with 84 points?
Gentlemen?
PART II

F’n Lloyd- 610- Lyrics- guesses Men at Work (yes), Cha Cha Song (no), How Bizarre (no)- wagered 610- thanks for playing.

Bears:
Paul Edinger
The main Chief guy quickly storms out (as usual). I believe Gf yelled “ignorant” as he was headed out the door. He ticks her off.
One of the Tres Senoritas gals comes over later and asks if we’re J&B (as if she couldn’t see the championship belts around our waists). She congratulated us and was happy that her team beat the Bar. She was encouraged to start yelling “Bar sucks!”
St Bedes update: the trivia night at St Bedes starts at 7:00 on February 24th. Maximum of 10 per team. Cost of $125 per team. Teams can bring their own food, but any drinks must be purchased there. I think the J&B roster right now:
In- Stix, Morning Nurse, Chemical Man, Hilts, pepys, Lazers, Dragon
Moho- in?
K.- in?
Gf- in?
Chemical Man mentioned his friend that came last time as another option (another Mike?)?
World Series of Pop Culture update: one of the other times he stopped by, Trophy mentioned that the vh-1 show will be holding auditions in Chicago in early February. Art indicated last time they were looking for people younger than 35. If I remember, I’ll review the website to see if the age restriction still holds.
J&B will look to defend its victory at the next TC Pub trivia night- February 1st.
