addendum by Hilts
Teams: Team Matt, AFC, Bar and J&B (Hilts, Chemical Man, Dragon,
Stix, Gf end of the 3rd quarter).
New limit of 3 in a row for correct answers.
1st half: News from today, Sports, Movies and Stars
Q: Bonds' July Batting avg within .020
Q: 2 Angels in top 10 of Batt avg
End of 1st half, J&B Up by 500, highlight shows tattoo on behalf of J&B.

Q: Citadel's nickname?
end of regulation:
Bar 2330, J&B 1910, Matt 1540, Fab5 1130, AFC 540
New rule for choice of final question, only 2 teams can play the same Q, Qs are NFL History, 1990s music,1990s TV.
Only worthwhile NFL question, this potential AFL city pulled out at the last minute and joined NFL in 1960.
1990s TV: 1998-99 #1 show not a comedy, game show host with #14 show for the year, Bony actress with top 25 sitcom (matt and fab 5 playing)
1990s Music: J&B and bar playing: REM song about Andy Kaufmann, 1996 song "Twisted" but who?, 1990 song "Hold on" by who?
Came down to the answer to this Q between bar and J*B.
Pat said in Q4 of the bar "they're a whining team,always have been"...and earlier said "the Bar and J*B are more alike then they think" after we both whined about him asking "sox record in 2005 playoff". DESERVEDLY.
TUNE in later Friday to see how Benky's fucked up final question fucked up J&B....am I pissed??
LATER FRIDAY
Answers:
Bonds .186
Angels top 10 batters: Vlad G and Chone Figgins
Bewitched: Tabitha
1996 Cub opening day LF: Luis Gonzalez
Citadel Bulldogs which nobody could ascertain from hangman
Final NFL--Minnesota
The Music final was Man on the Moon done by REM, 1996 Twisted by Keith Sweat and 1990 Hold On: Wilson Phillips.
The bar has all three right, though J&B's guess of Hold on by En Vogue ALSO is right.
Both songs peaked in the summer of 1990. I wasn't able to lodge a protest due to the noise of the place. At issue too is the fact that the Twisted and Hold On songs could easily be found by googling since Benky included their peak year(try it yourself), so they were not Bar internet proof, which Gf suspected earlier in the 4th quarter.....
When the Bar played Wilson Phillips on the jukebox right away, I had had enough for the evening.
And Hilts Adds...
It was a fun nite to be a trivadorista this nite. Our backagain hostess was looking great, as Glasses always does. She even first time played for our side when Gf had not arrived. The bar got real loud as the nite went on. I had a great joke about the team AFC==something that namechecked the NFC, but where the humour was I can't remember now. The funniest moment, perhaps of all rivia history*, was when a line of geotgeour chix single filed into T.C.'s all @ once: someone on Da Bar sang out ":here comes the LAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY-DDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!". Wonderous. The last great thing was when we lost we got taunted big time by Da Bar. This is totally acceptable: we scream "HA HA" @ them, they scream "HA HA" @ us, and we both compete to be more obnoxious. This nite the final question, in which I take it that they won, i guess, on them getting it rite and us not, was about the Wilson Phillips song, "Hold on". As stated above, when Benky announced his answers and we had lost, Da Bar players immediately went to the juke box and blasted the song while 8-10 of them started to sing the song @ full volume while clapping their hands above their head-I guess the songs video. Well played, Bar.
*=well, maybe not

I mentioned this to bentowski (about en vougue being
an answer) as he came up to the table and his mood
just dropped from elated to (oh shit) and he just
walked away at that point.
dont remember what the bet was if the answer would
have tied or beaten the bar or at least all 3 right
acknoledgement.
for once in a while, tcs was crowded.
That's the kicker, could not hear how much they even
bet, it was SO loud by that time.....
My only question is "Did the bar bet enough so it would not matter if J&B got credit for all 3?"
That's the kicker, could not hear how much they even
bet, it was SO loud by that time.....
