“Stix” is Hungarian for “gay”

It was another relatively dead night at TC Pub last night. Perhaps it was just the timing, as two star players didn’t arrive until after the trivia game ended (J&B’s Pat and the Bar’s Trophy).



J&B represented by: Chemical Man, Stix, Vaugh and Lazers

The competition: Bar, Porch People, and Jukebox

First Half: News/NFL 2008/Mixed Up

Zach Thomas is currently on what NFL team?

Who is the NFL’s highest paid kicker?

Who was the owner of the pet shop that housed Magilla Gorilla?

Who played Sally Rogers on the “Dick Van Dyke Show”?

Before becoming famous on a sitcom, which actress appeared in commercials for Homemakers?

Some of the “Ladies Choice” challenges picked tonight: Longest Hair, Highest Heels, and Smallest Ears.


Scores at the half: Porch 1440 Jukebox 960 J&B 830 Bar 770

Due to their last place standing at the half, the Bar gets to help pick categories for the second half.

Also of note was the old guy from Porch hitting on Vaughn. She is not pleased, and even less so when let in on Chem’s earlier idea to send the old guy a drink and say it was from her.

Second Half: Entertainment/White Sox/Locations


Octavio Dotel’s first MLB team?

2007 Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama?

As of March ’08, the top grossing animated movie of all-time (from 2004)?

Ehren Wasserman’s first MLB team?

2007 Golden Globe for Best Actress- Julie Christie- what movie?

The furthest east one can be in Chicago is how far east (within 200)?

1996- White Sox opening day LF?

Most complete games in White Sox history- 356- what pitcher?


Benkowski begins a Location question: “If you’re on the north side…”

One of the Bar players: “hahaha faggots.”


J&B has “Ladies Only” choice of “Long Distance Roll” or “Arm Wrestling”. Vaughn says that she arm wrestles her sons all the time and selects that option. The gal representing the Bar whoops Vaughn’s ass. Strong showing for a woman with small ears.



Scores after two halves: Porch 2550 Bar 1930 J&B 1780 Jukebox 1380

Choice of Final Category: 90s Music, 80s Entertainment, or 80s/90s/00s Heavyweight Boxing. Two of three wins wager. All three will win 3000 bonus points.

J&B selects 90s Music and wagers it all.

90s Music:

1993- “Hero”- name the artist?
1996- “You’re Making Me High”- name the artist?
1999- “Have You Ever?”- name the artist?


80s Entertainment:

After Brad Palmer moved to channel 7, who became the morning sportscaster on WBBM- Newsradio 78?
On the “Wonder Years”- what was the full name of Kevin’s girlfriend?
1987- On Q101, Benkowski was the morning sportscaster for Robert Murphy’s show. Benkowski also was the sportscaster for the afternoon show- who was the dj for that afternoon drive?

No team selected the boxing category.

Gents?

PART II

J&B, without any input from Stix, guesses Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, and Brandy. Okay, you caught me. All of the input came from Stix. He is uncertain about the Brandy answer.

First half answers:
Dallas Cowboys
Robbie Gould
Mr. Peebles
Rose Marie
Shelley Long

Second half answers:
New York Mets
James Spader
Shrek 2
Chicago White Sox
Away From Her
4100 East
Tony Phillips
Ted Lyons

For the Lyons question, the Bar was the last team with a chance at answering, and they select Hangman:
Bar: guesses “C”.
Benkowski: “No ‘C’. The answer is Ted Lyons.”
Bar: “But isn’t his full name Theodore? That’s a bullshit answer.”
It is pointed out to the Bar that there is not a “C” in Theodore either.

Final Question:

Jukebox- 1380- Music- guesses Mariah Carey (correct), Toni Braxton (correct), and Brandy (correct)- wagered 1379 plus bonus- up to 5659 and the short-lived lead.

J&B- 1780- Music- guesses Mariah Carey (correct), Toni Braxton (correct), and Brandy (correct)- wagered 1780 plus bonus- up to 6560.

Bar- 1930- Entertainment- guesses Mike North (no- Benkowski: “No way in a trillion years…bad guess.”), Winnie Cooper (correct), and Bobby Skafish (no)- didn’t catch their wager, but unless it was negative 4631, J&B remains in the lead.

Porch- 2550- Entertainment- guesses Jeff Joniak (no)- Bee Bee (no- Benkowski: “Boy, everybody is fixated on Mike North tonight.”), and no answer for the last one- wagered 1900- down to 650.

J&B rises from the ashes to claim the night’s trivia title.

Missing answers: Rich King and Dan Walker
