The Last Tuesday Trivia of the Naughties!

What a packed house for the last trivia night of the decade! And t'was awesome to see some familiar faces home for winter break - badly in need of a sweet trivia fix. Now here are some New Years resolutions you may wanna consider: remember that the 80's sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" existed (and featured some fine child actors-turned criminals)

 

and spun off "The Facts of Life" (both with the old gal)

which featured Tootie

...whom I had a crush on as a kid. Oh, and resolve to know that Xmas would-be terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab first boarded a plane in Yemen...and be more resolute in your attendance to Tuesday Trivia, damnit!

Most Tumultuous Tiebreakers of 2009!!!

  

We ended the year of 2009 much like Charlie Sheen - with the threat of knife violence! We were treated to our first ever SIX-WAY TIEBREAKER...for 4th place - with teams Wusconsin, Clark, Gryffindor, The Talls, Tighty Whities, and 1-2. The question? "How much of the U.S. debt is owed to China?" Most teams were so numb to the promise of our future, malevolent overlords, that they thought our debt was already in the $4 to $7.3 trillion range. Nope, just a lean $800 billion thus far. Team Clark were closest, with $500 billion. $500 billion? Come on, that's Chinese chump change. Team Clark couldn't stay for a photo, see here's American's Oldest Teenager himself - Dick Clark - adjusting the bust of a waxen Michael Jackson.

3rd Place went to Urban Ferver, with 24 outta 30 points.

That's the store at the mall were you buy hip luggage, right?

2nd goes to Fallow Fields, who were way off with their answer to this tiebreaker toughy: "What is the fine for adultery in Maryland?"

The answer is not "banishment to Baltimore", but $10 bucks. Call that punishment? T'is cheaper than embroidering a scarlett letter "A" on my wallet.

The final champs of the decade are The Brazilian Dog Waxers aka the Zucchini Bandits, who were the tiebreaker victors with 25 total points!

Hurts so good, waxers! Nicely done. But can you bring back the magic in the twenty-ten?

Oh, and here are the Learn Some Shite champs of the night, Team Paul McDiritt & Co.

Where did Paul go, btw? Is he the bastard responsible for the 15/30 point showing? Anywhich, congrats at being the last last place team of the naughties!

 

2010 is the year of trivia. Or is it the year of the tiger? Let's say trivia. See you then.
