J&B took another jaunt to Hickory Hills to do battle at the competitive Dirty Sock trivia night. However, on this night, the Dirty Sock was as soft as, well, a dirty sock. The bar was nearly empty, and the televisions in the trivia area weren’t being used. The competition was so lame that the ailing Benkowski (back problems after excessive yard work) delayed the beginning of the next cumulative league until next week.
J&B represented by: chemical Man, Stix, dragon and Lazers
The “competition”: Team America, 10-42, and Laguna Sunrise
You may recognize Laguna Sunrise as the evolution of Cheyenne Sunrise, now featuring an obnoxious woman worthy of competing with the best women that Mitch’s ever had to offer. The Sunrise team remained anchored by the old stoner guy, now sporting a large bandage on his left cheek.
Only 3 throws per team for the whole night.
First half: In the News/Movies I Like/Bruce Willis
Length of the Kentucky Derby?
Willis’ character name in the “Die Hard” series?
In “A Hard Day’s Night”, the Beatles were looking for whose grandfather?
Willis was born in what country (2 words)?
This comedy producer appeared in “It’s A Wonderful Life” as a bartender?
The name of Willis’ production company: C______ E_______?
Midway through the second quarter, the owner of Dirty Sock adds another $20 towards the winning team. Really, isn’t that just a slap to the face of all the other teams?
The winning team also will receive free pizza next week. The prize pool is getting larger!
Laguna Sunrise apparently trying to set the trivia night record for most questions answered with “pass” despite having throws to use.
Number of times the seemingly simple gal by the bar (I think she worked there) said, “you’re smart” after J&B answered a question correctly: 5
Laguna woman, after winning a Long-Distance throw challenge: “I don’t know questions, but I can throw.”
Stix: “Then you think they would use their throws.”
Scores at the half: J&B 1410 America 930 10-42 540 Laguna 410
Second half: Celebrity Birth Years/State Capitals/Chicago Sports
Capital of Michigan?
Bankrupt ex-Bull forced to sell his championship rings from 96-97-98?
Laguna woman correctly guesses the capital of Minnesota because “Aunt Toots lives there.” J&B and the Laguna woman toast to Aunt Toots.
Laguna in another Long-Distance throw challenge against 10-42. Benkowski throws the ball to the Laguna woman, who misses it.
Benkowski: “I thought you said you were good with them.”
Laguna woman: “I spread my legs, didn’t I?”
With a lot of game left, the Dirty Sock owner comes over to the J&B table to get an idea of how many regular players we have (we estimate 5 on average), in order to budget for next week’s free pizza. Stix: “Oh, we’re not counting our pizzas before they’re hatched.”
Benkowski references one past trivia battle in which 6 teams all ended up with zero points. How bad must that Final Question wagering have been?
The waitress (before tonight, I never noticed she has an accent) enjoys the trivia game, so Benkowski encourages her to gather some friends to enter a team. Waitress: “We’d probably get only three points because all of my friends are really stupid.”
Scores after two halves of what may have been the fastest trivia game ever: J&B 2940 America 1810 10-42 1390 Laguna 940
Choice of Final Category: 60s TV, 70s TV or 80s TV
J&B selects 70s TV and wagers the classic (681).
60s TV:
Played Ellie Mae on “The Beverly Hillbillies”?
Played Ensign Parker on “McHale’s Navy”?
Played Roger on “I Dream of Jeanne”?
70s TV:
Played Meathead on “Archie Bunker” (I presume he meant “All In The Family”)?
Played Starsky on “Starsky and Hutch”?
Played the son on “Sanford and Son”?
80s TV:
Played Rudy on “The Cosby Show”?
First names of the couple Krebs on “Dallas”?
1988- Benkowski hosted “Sports Sunday” twice and thus shared a Chicago Emmy with the regular host. Who was that man?
One of these questions…doesn’t belong here…. now it’s time to play our game…

Part II
J&B guesses Rob Reiner, Paul Michael Glaser and Demond Wilson. I like pepperoni on my pizza, sir.
First half answers:
1 ¼ mile
John McClane
Paul McCartney
West Germany
Sheldon Leonard
Cheyenne Enterprises
Second half answers:
Lansing
Randy Brown
And if you want to have a drink with Aunt Toots, head over to St Paul
Final Question:
Laguna- 940- 80s TV- guess: Keshia Knight-Pulliam (correct), no answer for Dallas (no), and Dan Jiggetts (no)- only one correct- wagered 930- down to 10. That oughta be enough!
10-42- 1390- 60s TV- guess: Donna Wilson (no), Tim Conway (correct), and Johnny Holmes aka Pat Benkowski (uh, no)- only one correct- wagered 1042- down to 348.
Team America- 1810- 80s TV- guess: Keshia Knight-Pulliam (correct), Ray and Donna (correct), and no answer for Sports Sunday (no)- two correct- wagered 1710- up to 3520 and the lead!!!
J&B- 2940- 70s TV- guess: Rob Reiner (correct), Paul Michael Glaser (correct), and Demond Wilson (correct)- all three correct- wagered 681 plus bonus- up to 6621 and the final touch on the slaughter rule.
Answers:
60s- Donna Douglas, Tim Conway and Bill Daily
70s- see J&B answers
80s- Keshia Knight-Pulliam, Ray and Donna, and Warner Saunders
Note: had J&B selected the 80s, Chems did know the Benkowski answer, although I think the “Dallas” question likely would have tripped us up.
Next trivia night: Sunday, May 10th at Dirty Sock. Free pizza for J&B!
Unrelated side trivia question: lately, my sister has been working as a PA for promos for one of the major television networks. What actress, apparently known for disappearing from a set when she gets bored, cost the network thousands of dollars by disappearing from the promo set (earning the designation “asshole” from my sister)? Clue: she’s a favorite of a J&Ber.
