Despite the small number of teams we still had a good time. It was rough getting going for our teams, but we pulled through. After round one our eventual winner, The Granville-billies, took the lead and never looked back. We are still waiting on the gift certificates to come in so our winner last night walked away with $25. Hopefully, next week we will move forward with our winners taking away a $25 gift certificate. Still a great time to come out to the Granville.Brandon - Man of Mysteryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17841496187280925149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108122266759396967.post-37342337683939567812016-01-11T19:45:00.002-05:002016-01-11T19:45:55.940-05:00Four Pegs 1/10/16 RecapThe snow may have kept a small number of our teams away last night, but we had plenty of newcomers to make up for it. The first couple of rounds were a little rough. Even through the third round, which is normally the turning point for are more difficult games. Last night's teams waited until round four before making their move. if was our abbreviation & acronyms round that got everyone on board. Last night's winners made the best of a rough round one to grab the lead and never let it go. The closest 2nd place got was a tie in the later rounds before falling to our winners who put up a near perfect last round, 45 out of a possible 50. Congratulations to our winners, Forever Alone & Friends.<br />

First round was rough, but our three teams rebounded from there with perfect scores the next two rounds and good scores the rest of the way. Three seemed to be the theme of the night, three teams, 3 common bonds, and movie three-scriptions. Our returning team, the Honeybadgers, jumped off to a quick lead and held that until round 5, but there victory was snatched from them in the last round by the winners, Welcome Back, Kotter.<br />
<br />
You can see the victors sporting their spoils from the win $25. Starting next week our 1st place team will be receiving a $25 gift certificate along with swag. Great time to join us at the Granville.<br />

<br />
We had a great first game of the year last night. Several teams jumped off to a great start with near perfect scores. We had several teams carry those strong start throughout the game. We had a fun Bears and Bears and Bears round. Which may have given our winners, Sad News Bear, a bit of an advantage.<br />

It has been a busy month. We had a small crowd last night at Four Pegs, but pretty much everyone in attendance was playing trivia. We had an up and down game pretty much dominated by our bear teams from the start. The original bear team has expanded to the point that we now have two different teams each week. It was a close match with the two teams tied most of the game. One half of the equation took the lead in the 4th round, but lost the game by one question. Thanks to a song from <i>Hey Arnold </i>our winning team knew that Stan Laurel's partner was Oliver Hardy. They were the only team to get that one which pushed them to the win. Congratulations, Shake It Like A Polar Bear Picture.<br />

So rather than stay cooped up inside we moved trivia to the back patio. We only had five teams. The atmosphere was very low key and relaxed yesterday which makes for an easy going game. With the exception of our host, Brandon, reading the answer to one of the questions the game went off without a hitch. We had a close game all the way through with our winners, Alien vs. Pedobear aka the Bear Team, taking a early lead and holding the teams off throughout the game to take the crown. Hopefully, next week will be just a beautiful outside and we can have another al fresco trivia night.<br />

Boy, were we wrong!. The bar was packed with people ready to play trivia. It was standing room only. As a matter of fact, there was no where to sit for our trivia host, Brandon. Luckily, a lovely couple gave up their seats so we were able to get started. The game got off to a strong start for mostly everyone. We had several teams start with nearly perfect scores and one team who did have a perfect score. Round 2 went just as well for our teams with one again having a perfect score. As a matter of fact, the same team that grabbed the lead from the beginning never let it go. Our winners last night were We Started From The Bottom and Now We Are Bear or as I like to call em, the Bear Team.<br />

There were fresh faces and regulars alike. From the start we had a battle between two teams of newcomers. This was a battle for the first couple of rounds before Irresponsible Teenagers began to pull away from the pack. Thanks in part to almost perfect scores in the Same Name and Audio rounds. They led the pack right up until the last round where our winners, Schmidtlapse, took the game with an impressive final round. It just goes to show you that you should always prepare for the final round and make sure you are looking into the <a href="http://louisvilletrivia.com/pubquiz.html" target="_blank">secret question.</a><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Great Job to our new winners, Schmidtlapse!<br /><div>

The bar was packed with trivia teams. It was great to see. From the start we had good scores across the board. It would be hard to pick a round that was the crowd favorite because everyone scored really well. After the first two rounds it looked like the game would shape up to be a two-horse race with two teams fighting all the way to the finish. In the end the winner was crowned by less than five points. After having a tie for almost every round out winner, Forever Alone & Friends, finally took the outright lead when it was needed.<br />
<br />
Congratulations!<br />

We had a tie game at the end of almost every round. Most teams put up strong scores through Round 4. It was in the 5th round that we had some teams falter. Our 5th round these week was a math round, The Number After 2, with most questions being a math problem that had a 2 in the answer where we were looking the number after the 2 in the answer. After the last question in our math round, it turns out the most teams need to brush on on the <a href="http://www.ptable.com/" target="_blank">periodic table</a> as well.<br />
<br />
After all was said and done our winner, Trivia Newton John, led almost start to finish, with the exception of our Math Round. The final score had Trivia Newton John one point ahead of 2nd place. When asked, her response was, " I only knew one horse constellation." Turns out one was enough. Oh yeah, not only was one question enough, but one team member was enough. Our wining team consisted of just one member.<br />

We had two teams tied at every turn last night and had to resort to a tiebreaker to settle it. It was very exciting! Like most games, things started out strong for most teams, scoring very well in the first round. Our second round was rough on a lot of the teams. Apparently, the crowd last night, were not big fans of <i>The Simpsons</i>.<br />

Our Picture Round in Round 3 was a chance for most of our teams to rebound moving into the 2nd half of the game. Things stayed tight for the whole game for most of the teams. Our Urple round was not as much fun for most teams as it sounded. Apparently, everything purple is not high up on everyone's priority list. After everything was said and done we still had two teams tied for first place, P.K. Mafia & Cocaine Cowbears. So we went to a tiebreaker.</div>

This is yet another installment of Friday Fun Trivia Breakdown. Welcome aboard to the wacky realm of uncovering trivia mysteries. I have picked a trivia question from the Tuesday night round (Dundee Gastropub! 8pm!) and lets see what we can find out!<br />
<br />
This week I'm doing something a little bit different. I picked a question from the picture round! It was a picture of Adam Sandler! I think everyone got it right because his image is burned into our brains at birth. For me, Adam Sandler brings up a more philosophical question: why does everyone hate Adam Sandler?<br />
<br />
I began my search with a quick google search that revealed many others are confused as well. There were a ton of Yahoo Answers and odd websites all asking the question. Many were confused, how could you hate the Wedding Singer?<br />
<br />
Many critiques on Adam focus on how he is old news, lazy, one-dimensional, and plays the same role over and over and over again. I kept reading different articles with the same complaints but halfway through I realized they were all about different movies. Every review is different but every review is the same.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/19/sony-hates-adam-sandler-as-much-as-you-do.html">Sony</a> hates Adam. Actors in his movies hate him because he's <a href="http://www.projectcasting.com/news/extras-walk-off-set-of-adam-sandlers-new-movie-after-racist-jokes/">racist</a> and he's <a href="http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/23/rose-mcgowan-adam-sandler-movie-casting-note-asking-cleavage-i-was-offended">sexist</a>. He's coming to <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/adam-sandler-netflix-deal-hated-critics-movie-star-laughs-his-way-bank-1698750">netflix</a> and we all hate that. His latest movies have flopped so hard I have never even heard of them (Blended? The Cobbler?). His latest film, <i>Pixels</i> flopped as well and according to a <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pixels/">critic</a> is "Much like the worst arcade games from the era that inspired it, Pixels has little replay value and is hardly worth a quarter." Ouch! Ouch!<br />
<br />
I'll be honest, I hate the guy. Lots of people hate him, really. Why does he keep making movies? Why on earth would you hire this guy? In reality, Sandler is just laughing at the critics all the way to the bank. People still love him and his movies that do terrible still succeed somehow (mostly through DVD sales! ha!). Anyways I'm sure he seems like a good guy.<br />

Everyone was slightly dripping from the storms and we didn't have to worry about anyone using their phones because of all the cell outages. We all hunkered down and enjoyed a few rounds of good ol trivia.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was a hard few rounds for the players with a low scoring game. In fact, the last round, all teams only scored two points! They were some hard questions though, so I'm withholding judgement (you should too!).I mean who really knows how many toes an ostrich has? Who knows what tubetini is? It is the coolest word to say though, <i>tubetini</i>. Say it with me now!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The winners for the evening were the well named team AT&T End Times. Here they are pictured, doing something weird with their hands. I guess that is what winners do. </div>

We lost our power cord for the sound system. It just vanished. Luckily, it was easily replaced in time to start the game. We had a downpour moments before the game began with harsh lightning all evening. That's not something you like to see when you're holding a wired microphone for two hours.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The game itself was fairly straightforward, but we did have a team stand out from the rest. We Don't Know dominated the first four rounds with a perfect game. They missed two questions in the fifth, and barely held onto the lead at the end of the game (and if you ask the second place team, who lost by only three points, it all came down to bad wording on a Round 6 question).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Folks seemed to enjoy the Possessive Movie Title round, despite the trick question of <i>Monster's Ball</i> vs. <i>Monsters, Inc.</i> or <i>University</i>. The <i>Pee Wee's Big Adventure</i> audio clue brought audience participation, applause, and laughter. That's what we aim for!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I forgot to get a photo of the winning team tonight with my own camera, but I did take a picture with one of theirs, so maybe they'll post it. I did grab a shot of that Granita I was enjoying. Mixed berry and rum? Thank you, I'll have another!</p>

We had a strong start for a couple of teams with several teams coming in at 9 for the first round. Our Famous Doctors round was meet with cheers, but not the scores to back it up. I think our crowd was hoping for a Dr. Who round and not famous Doctors. We will know for next time. The picture round saw an increase in scores with a lot of teams getting close to a perfect score. Our "Pen" is Mightier round was a crowd favorite. If you have never seen the SNL clip, I would highly recommend it. Funny TV, PG, but funny. Our "G" ology round was great. It is amazing how many of the answers looked the exact same in our contestants handwriting! We had an extremely close game going into our last round with most of our teams being within 10 points of each other. Sadly, the last round was a rough round with the high score being a 25.<br />
<br />
<br />
After all the questions were answered and all the score tabulated it was Forever Alone & Friends back at the top of the leaderboard.<br />

Hello! Here is our weekly installment of Friday Fun. I pick a question and pretty much talk about whatever I want. You leave with more information than you may have wanted. I pick from Tuesday questions, because I'm at Dundee Gastropub at 8pm every Tuesday. Come say hello, answer questions incorrectly, and drink to your misery!<br />
<br />
This week I pulled the first question from round five on the theme of video games.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Q:What famous wagon route has been turned into several variations of a video game, where players </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
may read the phrase, “You have died of Dysentery”?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A: The Oregon Trail<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who doesn't love the Oregon Trail? Many of my childhood years were spent trekking across the country, death nibbling at the children's feet while I shoved candy down my throat. I wanted to find out more about the history of this much beloved game and I came across some depressing information.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The creators of the game, Bill Heinemann, Paul Dillenberger, and Don Rawitsch worked so hard to create this amazing adventure game we all cherish. However, they walked away from the game without making any real money from it. They got ripped off! The world is never fair. This sad fact made me wonder who else in the gaming world got ripped off..<br />
<br />
Alexey Pajitnov invented Tetris in 1986 but didn't get any money off of it until 1996. This had something to do with Soviet Russia. Here is useless information: Pajitinov also had a hand in making <i>Yoshi's Cookie</i> (which was not as good as <i>Yoshi </i>at all not even close not at all<i>).</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Who created <i>Monopoly</i>? Charles Darrow! Just kidding he totally stole it from a woman (surprise!) by the name of Lizzie Magie. She built a game in 1903 called <i>Landlord's Game </i>which was meant to illustrate how terrible capitalism is. The history of Monopoly is terrible but still not as horrible as actually playing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Daisuke Inoue invented the Karaoke machine (not a game but a form of entertainment and embarrassment- so close enough) but never patented it and thus lost out on millions of dollars. However, he did invent and patent a pesticide for karaoke machines so there is that?<br /><br />Want to relive your youth?

It was another hot summer night at Four Pegs with a great, energetic crowd. Brandon was off celebrating his birthday, so we called in a sub. The game started a bit slow when the highest score in Round 1 was just 7 points. Folks did fairly well on the Geography round. Sadly, New Hampshire touches neither New York nor New Jersey. Teams who missed that one should definitely visit the northeast. Beautiful country up there.<br />

Sports? My favorite response was "This ain't that kinda bar!" Speaks for itself. It was Round 5 and that was also the average score for that round. We moved quickly and carefully to our Final Round. most of you guys knew both of the three finger salutes we asked you about (and thanks for your PG answers). There was another sports question that threw most people off. Plant names were a bit difficult. But you guys redeemed yourselves with the final question, another shot at geography.<br />
<br />
At the end of the game, even though We Know Jack! and Forever Alone and Friends put up some good fights throughout the night, Polar Bear With Me walked away the winners.

Welcome aboard to this weekly edition of Friday Fun Trivia Breakdown. I take a question from the previous week, expand on the topic, and you learn valuable lessons. I'm now at Dundee Gastropub on Tuesdays at 8pm (come! drink! eat!) and so I'll be taking from Tuesday's questions.<br />
<br />
This week we had some tough questions and I'm picking from the second round. This round was all about Human Anatomy (which I love! surprise!) and I selected question number three.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Q: According to reports, what part of her body has Tina Turner insured for $3.2 million?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A: Her legs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The weird world of body part insurance! Did you know this was a thing? I mean, it makes sense. It just seems pretty wild. How does it work and who else has insured some of their special parts? Lets find out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First and foremost, the majority of the information we have on who has what insured is not certified true. A lot of it is coated in the language of <i>reportedly</i> and a lot of the sources I found directly conflict. Regardless it <i>seems</i> to be true which is honestly what news is anyways (nothing is real!).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Moving on: it seems a lot of companies and corporations will insurance you/your parts when you are under contract with them. For example, America Ferrara got her teeth insured for $10 million during her Aquafresh contact. If you want to insure your parts yourself, you'll have to shell out the big bucks for a "surplus line" to most likely a company over seas. Apparently Lloyd's of London has facilitated some of these weird celebrity insurance policies. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyways here is what some people insure:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jennifer Lopez - Butt - $300 Million (This has been denied? <a href="http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/celebrities/a/jennifer_lopez.htm">sorta</a>?)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mariah Carey - Legs - $1 Billion</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
David Beckham - Legs - $70 Million</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Michael Flatley -Legs - $40 Million</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Keith Richards - Hands - 1.6 Million</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bruce Springsteen - Vocal Chords - $6 Million</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What would you get insured? Are our normal body parts worth anything at all? Questions to contemplate as we stare longingly into the terrible Kentucky sun, waiting for the humidity to swallow us whole. See ya next week!</div>

It was a wonderful time all around. Everyone did great at naming bands and everyone did terrible at remembering much of anything about comic books. Alas, fun was had, drinks were sipped, and food was digested. It was a close game with the winners snatching the title with only two points. Our winners were Family Affair, pictured below with their proud server (far left).<br />

The good news is that Brandon read all of the questions as written so there was no ambiguity. Round one started off great for most everyone. The scores dipped in rounds two and three. The picture round was rough with the dueling pictures. Round four saw better scores for our acronyms. Leading into the last round we had a very close game. Our game ended up being decided by only one point. This week's winner was Bearcula. Or as I like to call them, the Beary Creative Team.<br />

Here is another installment of Friday Fun Trivia Breakdown. This is the place where you get all the wild trivia information and back stories you never even asked for! This week I am pulling from the trivia tournament because I was there and witnessed the heated debates and battles. Just a fun note, I'll be at the same place (aka the Dundee Gastropub) this coming Tuesday to yell trivia questions at you. Anyways:<br />
<br />
I picked question number eight from round four, the "But I Wasn't Even Born Yet!" round. Hopefully y'all knew some history from a long, long time ago.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Q: What name was given to the murders committed in or near the impoverished district in the East End of London between 3 April 1888 and 13 February 1891, mostly attributed to Jack the Ripper? A: A: Whitechapel Murders (took place in or near Whitechapel district) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jack the Ripper! Aren't we all familiar with the terror of Jack the Ripper? I sadly don't know enough about the guy. If only I was an expert, I could call myself a Ripperologist.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes, this is a thing! Ripperology is the study of Jack the Ripper and all the mystery that comes with it. In fact, there are well over a hundred different theories about who Jack the Ripper was and some people really are into the study of it. There are endless theories concerning a shawl, a diary, some letters, and on and on.<br /><br />There's a <a href="http://www.thejacktheripperconference.com/ripperology-timeline/">timeline</a> for the history of Ripperology, a <a href="http://www.ripperologist.biz/">magazine</a>, and even a <a href="http://www.thejacktheripperconference.com/">conference</a> for Ripperologists to gather at. I for one, will not be attending this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ripperology is not alone, there are lots of other weird -ologies:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Campanology- the study of bells</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Vexillology- the scientific study of flags</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Eschatology- the study of the end, death, and the final destination of the soul!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tartarology- the study of hell</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Man, there is a lot to do in the world! See y'all on the other side. </div>

We had a packed house. We had returning teams and a lot of new faces as well. Round 1 went well for most teams. When we got into round 2 and ran into a snag with our first couple of questions about movies with colons. Apparently, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise all us colons in their titles so there were several correct answers. Even with this ambiguity the scores were kinda of average. With the number of teams we had this week we actually ran out of picture forms for our picture round and had to get creative so that everybody could play. We did discover that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Guillaume">Robert Guillaume</a> looks a lot like <a href="http://www.nndb.com/people/206/000168699/">Don Cornelius</a>, at least according to several of our teams. Our Ladies Night audio round was hit and miss, some teams loved it, some didn't. We had a close game going into our last round. Our game was decided by one question. With our winner Bear!Bear!Bear! pulling out a victory.<br />

Our trivia host, Brandon, also learned an important lesson about fulling reading the questions. The question was supposed to read, "Name the FIRST 5 countries with a McDonald's franchise besides the US." The question asked was, "Name a country with a McDonald's franchise." Our last question went from having 7 possible answers to a possible 118, HUGE difference. Which makes it a little easier than we had originally planned. Sorry about that.Brandon - Man of Mysteryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17841496187280925149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108122266759396967.post-36479352211400186692015-07-10T10:52:00.000-04:002015-07-10T10:52:10.059-04:00Friday FunHello friends! Welcome back to the weekly installment of Friday Fun Trivia Breakdown. Here we give you weird information and wild back stories from the past week's trivia questions! This week I am pulling from Thursday's game. Next week I will probably pull from our Trivia Tournament. Are you going? Join us on July 14th (next tuesday) at Dundee Gastropub at 8pm. I will be there! Yell at me about sports or your feelings!<br />
<br />
Anyways, lets go. This week the fourth round was all about detective fiction. Instead of pulling from one question, I wanted to selfishly focus in on my own favorite detectives. I love murder mysteries (even more than sports!). I love building them, watching them, playing them. Here are some fun facts:<br />
<br />
Did you ever watch Diagnosis Murder (1992-2001)? It was on CBS and then it was on PAX (which became Ion? who cares) and then it was on Hallmark and now it lives on in terrible quality on YouTube. The show followed Dick Van Dyke (a doctor) and his real life son Barry Van Dyke (a cop) as they solved crime in their insanely crime ridden town somewhere on a beach. Apparently Barry's son Shane was on the show at one point which really that is just too much. There were eight seasons, some movies, and hundreds of guest stars. I was watching it the other day and Melora Hardin (Jan from the Office) definitely killed somebody. <br />
<br />
None of that is important, what is important is that Dick Van Dyke's life was saved by a pod of porpoises. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1328806/Dick-Van-Dyke-Pod-porpoises-saved-I-fell-asleep-surfboard.html">Apparently</a> one time he was surfing and somehow fell asleep on his board (???how????) and awoke so far away he couldn't see the shore. A swarm of fins surrounded him and instead of death he got a team of porpoises that pushed him back to shore. Dick Van Dyke is so important that even the ocean life knows his immense value!<br />
<br />
More mysteries: Have you played <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/368370/">Her Story</a> yet? (I joy cried the whole way through!) Have you heard of the <a href="https://www.mysteriouspackage.com/">Mysterious Package Company</a>? I didn't tell you about it! I didn't!<br />
<br />
See you at the tournament! And until next time please remember: you will never be as cool as Dick Van Dyke.<br />
