It was J&B’s second scheduled infiltration of trivia at the Dirty Sock. Art arrived and entered the team, promising Benkowski that the rest of J&B would appear. As the minutes ticked past, disqualification was threatened, based upon the well-known rule that trivia teams must consist of more than one person (even though I’m pretty certain Cheyenne Sunrise was allowed to play as a one-person team the last time we were at the Dirty Sock). Panicked, Stix sent out the Bat Signal, with Sue acting as Chief O’Hara. By the end of the first quarter, Lazers finally arrived. Chemical Man turned up a bit thereafter.
J&B represented by: Stix, Chemical man and Lazers (Stix receives lead billing by virtue of being the only timely member of the team this week)
The competition: Cheyenne Sunrise, Green Hawks, Team America, Window Lickers, and Fat Chuckie
First Half: TV/Celebrity Birth Years/Who’s Who in Baseball
Lou Piniella’s 3-word nickname for Mike Fontenot?
Other than White Sox, the other 3 teams for whom Carlos Lee has played?
#1 TV show in the US 1964-65-66-67?
Guy at the bar: “Only a real man like Burt Reynolds can watch a man be raped in the woods and be cool with it.”
Scores at the half: America 1080 Cheyenne 650 Hawks 640 J&B 610 Lickers 530 Chuckie 460
Second Half: Movies/White Sox/Scrambly Wambly Music Mix
Yep…the title of the music category is not a misprint.
’82- who sang “Valley Girl”?
’08 playoffs- only Sox pitcher to beat the Rays?
’05 postseason- this Sox player drove in 15 runs in 12 games?
J Dye recently reached a milestone at bat (ends in “000”)?
Since ’01, Pierzynski leads catchers in this offensive category?
The trend of the second half:
Art points out that J&B has throws left
J&B gets a White Sox question
Despite uncertainty, J&B takes guess (sometimes wild) at Sox question
J&B answer is incorrect
Art points out that J&B has throws left
Scores after two halves: America 2150 Cheyenne 1490 Window 1400 J&B 1180 Fat Chuckie 930 Hawks 790
Choice of final category: Bulls/Celtics Playoff or Celebrity Birth Years or ’89 Prime Time Network TV or ’79 Prime Time Network TV
J&B selects ’79 TV and wagers it all.
Note: nobody selects the Bulls/Celtics category. After the game, a player from Window Lickers asked Benkowski for the questions. Benkowski: “I haven’t written them yet.”
Two of three wins wager. All three correct wins 3000 bonus points.
’79 Prime Time TV: The top 3 rated sitcoms all were on ABC- name them.
’89 Prime Time TV: Of the top 3 rated sitcoms, 2 were on NBC and 1 on ABC- name them.
Bulls/Celtics and Celebrity Birth- thanks for making yourselves available.

Part II
J&B guesses Three’s Company, Laverne & Shirley, and Happy Days.
First half answers:
Little Babe Ruth
Brewers, Rangers, Astros
Bonanza
Second half answers:
Moon Unit Zappa
John Danks
Paul Konerko
6000 AB
doubles
Final Question:
Green Hawks- ’79 TV- 790- guess: Three’s Company (correct), Charlie’s Angels (no), and Dynasty (no)- the team unclear on the concept of “sitcom” wagered it all- thanks for playing.
Fat Chuckie- ’89 TV- 930- guess: Cosby (correct), Cheers (no), and Roseanne (correct)- wagered 230- up to 1160.
J&B- ’79 TV- 1180- guess: Three’s Company (correct), Laverne & Shirley (correct), and Happy Days (no)- wagered 1180- up to 2360 and the lead.
Window Lickers- ’89 TV- 1400- guess: Cheers (no), Cosby (correct), and Roseanne (correct)- wagered 1400- up to 2800 and the new leader.
Cheyenne Sunrise- ’89 TV- 1490- guess: Cheers (no), Hill Street Blues (no), and LA Law (no)- and the other team unclear on the concept of “sitcom” wagered 17- down to 1473.
Team America- ’89 TV- 2150- guess: Cosby (correct), Roseanne (correct), and A Different World (correct)- wagered 2150 plus bonus- finish with 7300 points and the victory.
Missing answer to ’79: Mork & Mindy (considered but not guessed)
The next trivia night on the J&B schedule is this coming Wednesday at The Castle. I believe start time is 7:00. If someone has the address, please add that to the mix.
J&B also is discussing the possibility of entering the next Dirty Sock cumulative league, which I think starts the first Sunday in May. Note: both Stix and Lazers know of at least one Sunday in May that each would miss- not sure how much of a concern that would be.
