Written By Lazers Names edited by hilts Never has Benkowski been so giddy, at least not at trivia night. He unrolled a poster that had content that confused me. However, it soon was explained. It was a poster for Benkowski’s new sponsor: Shelton Fireworks in Porter, Indiana. Apparently, Benkowski is a huge fan of fireworks, and the excitement level wasn’t far from a little kid on Christmas Eve. I can already see “Ladies Only- Hold Lit Firecrackers the Longest” in the future.
J&B represented by: Chemical Man, MG, Hilts, Stix, Mothers and Lazersr The competition: Auntie J, Awesome, Peeps, Angry Birds, and Beauties and the Beast (that last team a new one talked into playing by Benkowski…it later was obvious they didn’t know what they were getting into.)
First half: NCAA 2011/Movies/PBS Music Special Mike Krzyzewski won his 900th career game as head coach this past season-at that point, how many had he lost? On the PBS special, David Foster said he felt he “made it” with this 5-word song he wrote for Earth Wind and Fire? Gene Pitney sang the title song to this 60s Kirk Douglas movie? Throughout the night, our waitress (name unknown) and active player for the Peeps did her best TC Pub-style smack talking to J&B (if not other teams), including a falsely sympathetic “good try” after Hilts missed on a throw. Quite the contrast to the usual Lady Byng-style of most Salerno’s players. Scores at the half: Birds 840 J&B 770 Awesome 720 Auntie J 710 B&B 460 Peeps 390 How’s that smack talk working, waitress?
Second half: Baseball Who’s Who 2011/Animation/Janet Jackson-Rolling Stones In “101 Dalmatians”- the names of Cruella de Vil’s henchmen? Bill Hall’s career home run total? From 95-97, Alfonso Soriano played baseball in what country? Johan Santana career win total? After some “Ladies Only” challenge pits Awesome against B&B, Benkowski comments that one of the ladies looks like Jennifer Beals while the other looks like Marisa Tomei. Maybe Benkowski should look into Lens Crafters as a new sponsor too. B&B was dying to leave during what was a particularly lengthy game, and they finally do so at the end of the third quarter. Chemical Man: “They said to give their points to J&B.” Benkowski: “They told me I should deduct their points from J&B’s score…I’ll just split the difference and keep things as they are.”
Scores after two halves: Birds 1690 J&B 1530 Auntie J 1420 Awesome 1390 Peeps 1310 B&B (quitters) Dang, this thing is closer than the NHL’s Western Conference.
Final category options: 70s Music- Three Dog Night; 80s Music- Madonna; 90s Music- Pearl Jam; 00s Music- Audioslave; Sports Celebrity Year of Birth; Bulls 2011; NCAA Tourney 2011-A; NCAA Tourney 2011-B. Selecting second, J&B picks 70s Music and wagers the second place classic.
80s Music (Peeps): From 1983-1989, Madonna had 7 songs with 3-word titles reach #1- name three of them.
2011 NCAA-B (Awesome): Only Sweet 16 team to have won a play-in game? Lowest seeded team in the Sweet 16? In SW bracket, the #2 seed was who and was knocked out by whom? 90s Music (Auntie J):
1999- Pearl Jam hits #2 on the charts with this song (2 words)? 1995- Pearl Jam hits #7 on the charts with this song (3 words)? 1994- Pearl Jam hit with 2-word title?
70s Music (J&B): Won’t be able to list the questions for this “Sing Along with Benkowski” category.
Sports Celebrity Year of Birth (Angry Birds): Shaquille O’Neal? Don Mattingly? Stan Mikita? Gentlemen?
