Sometimes we have to scramble it up when one of our teamates are out. Lazerman was absent last nite, and we were a bit 'out of jay'. Lazerman/Idol/Nixon was on a business trip or other ('or other'- what Smiths song triggered that?), and he's the writer of the J & B updates I carry on this site. However, since Idol was out, Big Tit has written the following 1st half update, and after a long time, I am going to actually write an accompyinging(sic) piece. However, 'cause of time constraints, mine'll probably be done on the morrow. Check back for Tit's 2d half update, when I get it.
This is Big Tit/ Cheesestix/Stix's 1st half report.
J&B represented by Dragon, Chemical Man, Gf, "just make it" Hilts, and Big Tit.
Noticibly absent tonight are Theresa, Glasses' glasses
and Kearney Meats, ironically on the nite Benky
devotes a category to him.
5 Teams: The Undecideds, Kevin's Back, Chosen Ones, Bar and J&B.
1st half: Famous Andersons, Bulls, Very Mixed Up including news.
Worst answer of 1st half and perhaps all time, the Chosen Ones who paid little attention all night, "If you're at 54th and New England where are you". Their answer "Boston".
**For which country did Thabo Sefalosha play for its national team.
**Al-Qaida terrorists are cracking down on Iraqi street vendors that it is a violation of Muslim law to place tomotaoes near cucmbers. Why?
**WKRP blond bombshell Anderson.
End of first half:
Bar-1080, Undecideds-1070, Chosen Ones-860, J&B-750, Kevin's Back-50
SECOND HALF, already and more to come
1st half answers at the end of this email...
2nd half: 90sTV/Music 1994-present/Sox and Baseball: Most intriguing new contest used for Bulls playoff roster and Sox Monday batting order questions where ladies only challenge is for the ladies to alternate giving correct answers for multiple choice question until one can't answer and the other can.
Gf's lack of tattoo again hinders J&B, losing to 1 small tattoo.
**Played Kate on Drew Carey show
**Most Sox career pinch hits
**Most Sox career relief appearances (J&B reboundscorrectly)
**Sox 2003 RBI leader (again J&B rebounds).
J&B goes into final question with 1860. Bar 1880, Undecideds 1720, Chosen 1320Kevin's Back 920. We bet the classic 1581 after determining that we have no accountants present this evening.
Final Q choice of TV of the 90s and Celebrity Gossip. Kevin's and Chosen chose gossip and went to zero.
Name the top 10 network primetime shows for '98-'99 season. (Benky did some research tonight). 5 sitcoms is the hint. 6 of 10 is correct, 8 of 10 1500 bonus, 10 right 3500 bonus.
First 1/2 answers: Switzerland/"they are of the opposite sex"/Loni.
Third Update
2nd half answers:
Christa Miller/Hairston/Thigpen/Carlos Lee
For final question, the J&B guesses: Survivor, Frasier, Will and Grace, Dharma and Greg, Raymond, Friends, ER, CSI, Law and Order, NYPD blue with not much confidence in guesses. Mike talked out of 60 minutes answer.
Nobody gets 6 of 10, so it comes down to the wager, the Bar is left with 19, the Undecideds (with 2 of the tres senoritas added in) bet 1500 to go to 220, ...so the classic lets J&B down with 179 final score, the streak is over.

Apparently we learned last night what a wasteland TV
became on Thursday with Seinfeld off the air....
Jesse and Veronica's Closet ???!!!
I believe Jesse and Veronica's Closet show what a lazy group of people
are who watch Friends and ER. I believe those two shows were placed
somewhere between them and I assume people just lost the remote and were
lazy to get up and change the channels.
This is how I spend my Saturday mornings:
After getting Audrey her milk and turning on the Disney Channel for her,
I settle on the couch to catch a quick nap (after all this is around
6:00-6:30 am that this occurs).
I am trying to nap and cannot help but hear Hinkleytown Heros. In this
particular episode the main characters visit a tropical island where all
are having a fun time, except for the one kid who seems cursed by the
ancient tribal crown he found and continues to wear. As the others tell
him it is not cursed, each takes a turn wearing it only to experience
bad luck. My nap is now interrupted by wondering where these writers
get off stealing from the Brady Bunch. I continue to watch waiting to
see who will do the voice of the Vincent Price character.
Unfortunately, they do not bring on any special guest stars for the
conclusion.
If you cannot trust the Disney Channel, who can you trust.
I think Seinfeld went off the air in 1998?
So did J&B overtake the Bar? Is the streak over? Is Don gonna pull a Lance Briggs if J&B couldn't win without him? Does Mandy from Animal House remind you of a young Marg Helgenberger?
This is like a Dr.Racky book analysis. When Jim
mentioned the Hinkleytown/BB/Duke it made me think of
South Park which John should certainly not watch with
Audrey. One of my favorite episodes was called
"Simpsons Already Did It":
According to episode commentary, creators Matt Stone
and Trey Parker made this episode to express their
real life frustration of often pitching new South Park
episode ideas, only to discover that the idea had
already been done on The Simpsons (for a specific
example, see The Wacky Molestation Adventure where all
the kids wished their parents away by saying the
adults molested them...)
In this episode there are seamonkeys and when the tank
containing the sea-people smashes on the floor of his
room, Cartman exclaims 'Oh the humanity!' This is an
echo of radio commentator Herbert Morrison's reaction
to the loss of life in the Hindenburg disaster.....
and THAT is an echo of this week's 1st season DVD
release (and Loni Anderson Benky question) of WKRP
with Les Nessman yelling "oh the humanity" outside the
shoestore as turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks
of wet cement.
Now my head is spinning. Vonnegut would be proud.
