The Castle/ 7 October
Written By Lazers
names edited by Hilts
J&B came back on short rest to do battle at The Castle (although the battle with construction on Cicero Avenue was a much bigger confrontation). Despite the economy, Benkowski Trivia sported not one, but two sponsors tonight: Riley’s Trick Shop and Electric Beach Tan!
Instead of the usual, higher-priced two-half game sets, tonight was played out as a regular full round of trivia.
J&B represented by: Chemical Man, Stix, Dragon, Trivia and Lazers
The competition: Save the Ta-Ta’s, Castle Trash, and Lindsay’s Ex-Boyfriends
First half: 90s TV/Musical Birth/October 4th Sports Section
On “The Drew Carey Show”, the gang hung out at a bar with the same name as a European capital?
Year of birth: Little Richard?
Not a whole lot of entertaining questions in the first half. Scores: Trash 950 Ex-Boyfriends 930 J&B 840 Ta-Ta’s 600
Second half: Charlie Sheen/Meg Ryan/NFL Week 4
Sheen played Charlie Crawford on what TV show?
Martin and Charlie Sheen came up with the stage name “Sheen” after whom?
2003- Meg Ryan appears naked in this erotic thriller?
In “Major League”, Sheen played the Wild Thing- what was the character’s real name?
1993 movie- Meg Ryan nominated for a Golden Globe- Best Actress- for what movie?
Sheen has been in sequels to what 3 movies?
***Benkowski Alert*** I find 4, including the one currently filming that Benkowski did include amongst his three.
Stix (on Hilt's absence): “I’m sorta missing the Nazi gear at the table.”
Scores after two halves of play: J&B 2310 Trash 1600 Ta-Ta’s 1350 Ex-Boyfriends 1300
Choice of Final Category: Celebrity Year of Birth, Tom Petty, or Hottest Chicks in Sports Movies
J&B wagers the classic and selects Tom Petty
Celebrity Year of Birth:
Hilary Swank?
Brook Shields?
Howard Stern?
Tom Petty:
1994- Top 20 hit for Petty?
In the 2000s- Petty played the voice of Lucky on what cartoon?
1979- Petty hit with 5-word title?
Hottest Chicks in Sports Movies:
Unfortunately, nobody selected this category. I’m intrigued!
Prior to sending all of you back to your seats to work on the quiz: J&B (the trivia version of CC Sabathia, as they are) continues to play on short rest by planning to attend trivia at The Dirty Sock this Sunday, October 11th. From discussion with Benkowski, it appears the trivia has not been greatly affected by the football games (plus the Bears are on their bye week). Trivia should start around 6:00.
And now…. gentlemen?

Part II
J&B very much mulls over the first Petty question, finally settling on “You Don’t Know How It Feels”. Guesses for the other two: King of the Hill, and “Don’t Do Me Like That”. J&B is confident in winning at least its wager.
First half answers:
Warsaw
1932
Second half answers:
Spin City
Bishop Sheen
In The Cut (Benkowski: “J&B, alias Mr. Skins. They know their naked women.”)
Ricky Vaughn
Sleepless In Seattle
Benkowski answers: Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps (currently filming), Major League II, and Scary Movie (3 and 4). And, as discussed at the J&B table, Hot Shots! Part Deux.
Benkowski’s incomplete answer wasn’t the only controversy surrounding the sequel question, as some guy on one of the other teams thought Benkowski was looking for sequels to Wall Street- “Major League isn’t a sequel to Wall Street!”
Final Question-
Lindsay’s Ex-Boyfriends- 1300- Celebrity Year of Birth- guesses Swank 1972 (close enough), Shields 1965 (correct), and Stern 1954 (correct)- wagered 1300 plus 3000 bonus for a total of 5600.
Save the Ta-Ta’s- 1350- Celebrity Year of Birth- guesses Swank 1974 (correct), Shields 1964 (close enough), and Stern 1957 (no)- wagered 1350- up to 2700.
Castle Trash- 1600- Celebrity Year of Birth- guesses Swank 1971 (no), Shields 1964 (close enough), and Stern 1949 (no)- wagered 1600- thanks for playing.
J&B figures that if Benkowski starts our answers with the second one, we lose.
J&B- 2310- Tom Petty- guesses “You Don’t Know How It Feels”- (at this point, there is a huge pause as Benkowski stares dumbfounded at his pile of notes…the drama wasn’t thick enough to cut with anything…then Benkowski: “There are two correct answers for the first Tom Petty question.”)- (correct), King of the Hill (correct), and “Don’t Do Me Like That” (correct)- wagered 891 plus 3000 bonus for a total of 6201 and the victory!
Benkowski originally was looking for “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” for the first answer.
As for the much discussed Meg Ryan movie “Addicted To Love”- Good-natured astronomer Sam is devastated when the love of his life, Linda, leaves him for a suave Frenchman named Anton. He therefore does what every other normal dumpee would do; go to New York and set up home in the abandoned building opposite his ex-girlfriend's apartment, intent on winning her back and waiting until she decides to leave her current lover. What Sam does not count on is being joined several weeks later by ultra hip tomboy Maggie, a photographer and motorcyclist who is determined to get revenge on Anton, her ex-fiancé. Hostile at first, the two of them eventually join forces in an attempt to separate the couple, and ruin Anton's life. However, complications ensue when Sam and Maggie start falling for each other.
Good ole’ Meg plays Maggie. Boy, I didn’t see that plot twist in the last sentence coming!
