After a lengthy layoff, J&B was back in trivia mode with a visit to Salerno’s this week. Trivia at Salerno’s is sometimes odd- everyone is too friendly and respectful towards the team. I suppose if J&B started playing there regularly and started crushing these other teams in a way only J&B is capable of doing, the attitude might change. Or if we could only talk The Bar from TC’s Pub to come out for a battle. In the meantime, it’s a little unnerving.
J&B represented by: Chemical Man, Dragon, MG, and Lazers
The Competition: Sharks, Chicago, Auntie Joanie, Big Buff, and Peeps or Bust
First half: Current Sports/TV 96-97/Beatles #1 Hits CD
Two songs on CD that were title tracks to non-animated Beatles movies?
Song dealt with the death of Paul McCartney’s mother (1 word)?
(Note: possible controversy here- looking for Art’s input)
George Harrison wrote this song about the woman both he and Eric Clapton loved?
Song that includes the lyric “they’re gonna crucify me”?
Most if not all of the TV questions centered on shows that ranked very good or very bad by some Family Values panel. That’s already a bad trend, but it was made worse by the fact that several kids were in the restaurant, forcing Benkowski to skirt around certain words in his questions for the bad shows. Example: this ABC sitcom was the 5th worst ranked show by the Family Values panel, with episodes dealing with topics such as “M”, “E” and “O”. Cripes- is this trivia night or Sesame Street?(Note: answer will be below, but I’m assuming the words in question were “masturbation”, “erection” and “orgasm”)
Scores at the half: Chicago 800 J&B 720 Joanie 620 Buff 620 Peeps 560 Sharks 550
Second half: Movie Quotes/2003 Music (incl country)/Bulls & NBA
“Celebrities are above the law”- said by Whoopi Goldberg in this 2000 movie that mixed animation and live action?
“I’m going to punch you in the ovary” (in the 2000s)?
“At my signal, unleash hell” (within the last 20 years)?
“Make my day” (from 1983)?
“I want to be alone” (from 1932)?
Who sang:
“I Love This Bar”?
“In The Club”?
“Forever and Always”?
"Cowboys Like Us”?
Mariah Carey and Busta Rhymes sang this five-word song?
2010 playoffs- 2nd on Bulls in scoring with 18.8 points/game?
1983- John Paxson comes into NBA, drafted by which team?
Benkowski: has noticed some sloppiness regarding the “throw the ball” line- “You don’t want to be the team I call it on!”
J&B is forced to recruit a lady from a neighboring table to engage in a Long Distance Roll the Ball challenge (Ladies Only). Chemical Man does the recruiting. It is unknown whether he uses the lost boy bit, but J&B ends up winning the points.
Scores after two halves: J&B 1520 Chicago 1360 Joanie 1290 Buff 1130 Sharks 990 Peeps 860
For the Final Question, Benkowski follows the methodology from the 2009 Championship- questions will be answered live by each team.
J&B wagers the classic- 1201. Perhaps the team should not have turned in its wager without hearing the categories, since it will be stuck with whatever is left over.
Categories: Celebrity Year of Birth- A, Celebrity Year of Birth- B, Celebrity Real Names, Baseball Year of Birth, In the News, TV Commercials, PGA Player Survey
Yep, putting that wager in before hearing the categories was not a good idea.
Peeps- select TV Commercials:
Though company is not known for tires, it’s commercial states it has “never been a better time to have bad tires”?
“Use equity in your house to finance your dreams”?
“Turn plain old ribs into fall-off-the-bone ribs by going to _________.com”?
Sharks- Baseball Year of Birth:
Jimmy Rollins
David Aardsma
Carlos Marmol
Big Buff- Celebrity Year of Birth A:
Lance Bass
Frankie Valli
Randy Travis
Auntie Joanie- Celebrity Year of Birth B:
Pink
Buddy Holly
Chrissy Hynde
Chicago- Celebrity Real Names:
Margarita Cansino
Bernard Schwartz
Nathan Birnbaum
J&B- In the News:
Within 1, what number in headline- “Man shot x times clings to life”?
“Newborn baby found in diaper box in” what 4 syllable suburb?
The merger of these two airlines will create the largest airline in the world?
Thank God he had an extra category so we weren’t stuck with- PGA Player Survey:
Within 7%, President Obama’s approval rating from PGA players?
Voted most overrated player?
Within 5%, how many PGA players claim they knew about Tiger Woods’ infidelity before the driveway incident?
Lots of music questions out there, Stix…..
