Something To Think About

Last night Michael and I hosted trivia for a modest crowd. There were 8 team present and a lot of new faces.

• Winning team - can't remember but they had 35.5 points, out of a possible 50. If you remember their name please mention it in the comments section.
• Funniest team name - Capitalism Stole My Virginity, although Michael and I were the only two who thought so.
• Last place prize - went to Hungry Girls - they won a granola bar.

Michael ran three excellent rounds. His top ten list was to name the first 10 Democrat Presidents. Audio round was to name the artists covering various Beatles songs and naming the Beatle song - songs ranged from William Shatner's version of Lucy in the Sky to George Burn's cover of a Sgt. Pepper's song. The visual round was merely to name the entertainer pictured but the theme was that all the entertainers had alliterative names.

I took on the General Knowlege and Current Events Rounds. For fun, I've listed my egg themed general knowlege round below.
