Our country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beef carcasses
And we have to clean up after them
And our saddle sores are the best
We proudly wear womens clothing
And searing sand blows up our skirts!
And the buzzards, they soar overhead
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole
And our bones will bleach in the sun
And we will probably go to &#%$
And that is our great reward
For being the
Ro-oy-oy-al
Canadian Kilted Yaksmen!
Sorry about that. Ren & Stimpy on last night’s quiz got me excited. It’s probably a weirder show than you remember. Like the episode where they go through a black hole find all of the missing socks and then implode. Or the haunted house in which Rosie O’Donnell plays a ghost. And then there are the fucked up secondary characters like Muddy Mudskipper and Powdered Toastman. My point here is that I don’t really have a point, other than watch Ren & Stimpy (full disclosure: I think Ren & Stimpy is awesome and nobody’s paying me for that).
But as for last night’s quiz, Singin’ in the Rain had a lock on first place early on, while last week’s champs Sitting Bricks came in second place. Third place went to I Just Quit My Job (congrats!) who jokered a perfect round 2. But there’s no prize for third place, so that sucks. And the bonus prize this week went to Stephanie. Congrats to all of you.

Boy oh boy was it a good quiz last night. Lots of new faces showed up to support Boston Partners in Education with big dreams of going home with a huge wad of cash [aside: ‘wad’ is my favorite amount of cash], but alas, only one team could go home flush with cash.
We kicked things off with some short film credits, which taught me how hard it is for you guys to spell the title of ‘the Big Lebowski.’ I think the worst I saw was ‘Lembrowski.’ We know who the real stoners/Coen Brothers fans are. I guess we also found out who frequents Mr. Skin by checking out your scores on the visual round, in which you had to figure out which celebs have gotten naked (for professional reasons – but not that kind of professional, you know what I mean). That means you Account Us In. And you guys showed off your nerdy side when you answered questions about Magic: the Gathering.
After our first scoring break, Sitting Bricks was in the lead, and they stayed there all night, taking home the top prize. Second place went to I’m Horrible at Team Names, who rose up through the competition with a nice late-quiz joker. A Case of the Tuesdays rounded out the top 3. Congrats to Pamela for taking home the email bonus pint glass.
Now go sleep off your Bruins victory hangover.

I mean, that was weird, right? Only in Cambridge could you have a non-profit that is so considerate as to create porn for blind people and so shortsighted as to make it completely boring and weird. How do they expect a guy to come to fruition listening to that stuff? I bet the sighted Big Sausage Pizza experience is A LOT different.
But enough about that weirdness, let’s talk about the quiz! It was a close one yet again, as Celtics in 7 beat out Lucic Fight Club by just one point for the win. Oh man, Celtics took an early lead by jokering a 15-point round 2, and never looked back. Let this be a lesson to all of you who joker rounds that are only worth 8 rounds: you aren’t going to win quizzing like that. Quiz with guts! Joker a 16-point round and stand a fighting chance. Last night we had Case of the Mondays, coming in third place again, which makes Monday even worse I suppose, but perhaps the beers cancel out that effect. Perhaps not.
Oh yeah, Isabel took home the email bonus prize this week. Get yourself on that email list and it could be you!
Next week we’ll be having a super-special quiz to raise money for Boston Partners in Education. Here’s how it works: you can optionally pay in to a pool that gets donated to the charity, and if your team wins, you take home a nice piece of that pool. So bring your friends, and your friends’ friends (especially the ones you can beat), because there will be cash on the line, and the more teams who join in, the more you could win (and you know, the more goes to the charity). All of this is, of course, strictly optional, and you can come and play the quiz for free as always if you hate charity or the chance to win money. Like those babies in those Jimmy Fallon commercials.
And remember: every order comes with sausage.
