The Castle

Written by Stix

edited by Hilts

Stix greeted at 7pm by Benky who is pleased we are here as well as by Jim the bar owner/manager who thanks us for coming and later moves our table up front by the pool table. A much smaller bar than TCs, but perhaps a more intimate setting. J&B represented by Chemical Man, Hilts, and Stix.

TEAMS: Last trivia's winner Muff Divers (who throughout the night have no shortage of self-amusing comments about "boxes"), Castle Trash, T&T (who've been at TCs under another name) and the Wild Bankers.

First round: Music, In the News Tuesday, Fast Food South Side Qs:

**71st and Harlem, food on east side of street.
**115th and Pulaski, fast food
**City that just named the archbishop of Milwaukee it's new archbishop**1996 did "Pepper"
**2002 did "Love at First Sight" (answer given by Hilts, mocked by the Muffs)


J&B lead after 1Q and at the half.

Second round: TV/ Sports/ Celebrity Birth

**Gavin Floyd's highest MLB win total prior to 2008
**Tori Spelling's character name on 90210
**72-10 Bulls had what home record that year.
**65-66 TV season Ronald Reagan hosted this 3 word show.
(200 point and best answer of the night, given by T&T)
**Since 1980, the # of Bears championships.

J&B had a bad 3rd quarter blanking on Tori and picking 2 different "ladies only" throw questions. STILL, J&B leads after 3Q and at the end leads with 2190.

T&T 1690, Bankers 1370, Muff 1230, Castle 1180.


Final round: Sox, NBA finals 86-06, Stevie Wonder in the 70s, 80-90s TV
Wisely nobody picks NBA. J&B follows what textbooks (and Wikipedia) now call the Peppys/Hammer theory and picks Stevie Wonder along with Wild Bankers. Muff and T&T pick Sox, Castle Trash picks TV. J&B bets the classic but errs by using 1370, not 1690 as the second highest total. Stix is disqualified from future computations until such time as his Finance MBA is completed in 2010.


CURRENT SOX: 1) Sox player born in Hollywood, CA.
2) Adam Russell's listed height within 2 inches.
3) Was a major college football QB.

TV:1) Played Kevin on Raymond, 96-98.
2) Played Kelly on 90210.
3) Played Mindy on Mork & Mindy.

STEVIE: Benky's 3 fave Stevie songs of the 70s, all #1s, 10 total words with initials in alpha order of A D L M 0 S S S T Y
1) 1972 ?
2) 1973 ?
3) 1977 ?

Will the Peppys/Hammer theory pay off? Gentlemen?

Had trouble keeping track of the wagers, but J&B knows only Muff has all 3 answers, they bet it all to go to 2460+3000= 5600, not enough to top J&Bs
2741+ 3000= 5741, adding the Castle to the list of J&B arena victories.

See you at Bede's if Hilts ever gets us the:
