Final Question:
Auntie Joannie- 670 points- Movies- guesses “It’s A Wonderful Life” (correct), “Greatest Story Ever Told” (no), “Double Indemnity” (correct)- that’s two out of three- wagered 151- up to 821.
J&B knows where it stands- we have to avoid another team getting the bonus.
Peeps- 840- Movies- guess “It’s A Wonderful Life” (correct), “Ben Hur” (no), “Murder on the Orient Express” (no)- didn’t catch the wager, but I’m pretty certain 3000 bonus points weren’t awarded.
Golden Jet- 920- Inventions- guesses Al Morrison (last name correct), George Washington Carver (correct), and “my father-in-law” (correct)- that’s all three correct- wagered 920- up to 4840. Game over for J&B.
Valentines- 990- Soap Operas- guess Jamie (correct), Tracey (no), Gina Tognoni (no)- only one correct- wagered 990- thanks for playing.
Sharks- 1100- Movies- guess “It’s A Wonderful Life” (correct), “Lawrence of Arabia” (no), “Laredo” (no)- only one correct- didn’t catch the wager.
Chicago- 1600- Baseball- guesses L Johnson 1963 (exact), R Yount 1955 (exact), C Yastrzemski 1939 (exact)- that’s all three correct- wagered 1590- up to 6190.
J&B- 1910- Movies- guesses “It’s A Wonderful Life” (correct), “Greatest Story Ever Told” (no), “Double Indemnity” (correct)- that’s two out of three- wagered 1291- up to 3201. Team Chicago earns the victory.
And yes, J&B would have had all three baseball year of birth questions correct. Stix’s moral of the story: “Don’t ever ever ever ever go against year of birth.”
Missing answers:
Tracey Bregman plays Lauren
Meg is played by Marie Wilson
Missing movie: “King of Kings”
It was Walter Morrison who invented the Frisbee
Salerno’s is a good place for trivia. Other than the championship, it has been a long while since we’ve faced that many teams with most being competitive. On the negative side- I’m guessing those beers were expensive.
St. Bede’s coming up February 27th. It is unknown whether J&B will have a tune-up trivia prior to then.
