Off to My Personal Mecca

Hoffstradamus

Ladies and gentlemen, this could be my last missive. No, I'm not quitting my job or moving anywhere. You see, as I am writing this, I am eight hours away from leaving for Bonnaroo. It is going to be insane. But in case I perish from heat exhaustion or being smothered in a hippy orgy, I just want you all to know you are some of the best quizzers/readers/people I have ever known.

I think I'll be fine, to be honest. I went last year for my first time, and I make it back OK. The temperature was in the mid- to high-90s last year, and this year it's supposed to be in the 80s. HUZZAH! No matter, I'm still gonna crush water like a BAWSS.

Last year, I saw a booth for t-shirts that said "I love pussy" on them (amongst other things), and it was conveniently placed next to a fish taco stand. Not making that up, folks.

I will report back next week with any awesome stories from the 'Roo for you, and I'm sure there will be quite a few. Now I just need to start figuring out how to make a hippy orgy happen…

---------------

Well, you called it, Premature Ejokerlation. You held down the lead after two scoring breaks, but an early use of the Joker cost you in the end when Murky Beer used theirs on a stellar Round 8 for the FIRST PLACE victory. Excellent job.

---------------

Interesting Notes from the Quiz!:

- WTF Happened to WFT?, thank you for reminding me about the "SPANDEX!" scene from Nutty Professor. Vintage Eddie Murphy right there, peeps.

- Out of all the musical artists in the round "Stroke or Speech Impediment?", the only one to have multiple people guess he was having an actual stroke was Bob Dylan. C'mon, even Shaggy is saying "It wasn't me?" BOOOOOOOOOM. Nailed it.

- A cinema clusterfuck, indeed. Sorry I'm not sorry I made you use more of your brains tonight.

- I got constant looks from team Orphans Don't Play Baseball Because They Don't Know Where Home Is during the quiz with one member saying "I'm not good at this" over and over. Aww, that's cute.

- I miss Entourage. There. I said it.

Julius Hodgepodge

Hoffstradamus

Today's blog is going to be a hodgepodge of interesting notes from the quiz because my quizzers gave me way too much good material to limit it to five notes. So, the layout will look a little weird today, but, hey, who gives a shit, right?

Oh, and the DMX story is definitely in the works. Keep an eye out for that in July...

-----------------

Wrath of James Caan thought they had it locked up. After two scoring breaks, they were sitting pretty. Then, out of nowhere, they shit the bed in the last two rounds, and a bunch of teams surged past with their Jokers in Round 8. This left them wallowing in the despair of finishing in 7th place. However, We Always Get 3rd fucked up and finished in second place, and Angie's Fun Bags walked away with our first place price tonight. Well done, everyone.

-----------------

Interesting Notes from the Quiz!:

- We have a new face for oral sex cancer, and it is Michael Douglas. One team pointedly named themselves Michael Douglas' New Film - TAINTed Love in honor of our fellow clam-diver.

- How about the latest Game of Thrones episode? Damn. I won't spoil anything for you if you haven't seen it yet (or as a quizzer pointed out - read about it ten years ago), but I'm sure you can gather enough info from team name All Hail the King in the Nor-Oh My God, Did That Just Fucking Happen.

- If Clairol wanted to convince women hair dye isn't just for sluts, they sure did a shitty job naming their product Nice N' Easy.

- Michael Douglas also provided some of our more incredulous answers tonight. For instance, they said A Tribe Called Quest recorded "Rapper's Delight." And, according to them, the word "Ubisoft" is totally a part of the NATO phonetic alphabet. I'd love to hear that come over the walkie-talkie. "Eagle Base, we have visual on our target at vector Ubisoft."

- It pains me that no one knew Mark Addy is the name of the guy who played Robert Baratheon in Game of Thrones. How can you not remember the name of the guy who played Mac in "Jack Frost" or Roland in "A Knight's Tale"?

- I Walked for No Reason made the valid point that "Brokeback Mountain" is "still not as gay as Twilight."

- There was a question about the Detroit Lions tonight. I joyfully sobbed about it, and I'm not ashamed.

White People: Where Doing the Macarena in a Snuggie Totally Makes Sense

Hoffstradamus

As you could probably figure from previous blog postings, I tend to be mystified at some of the decisions Hollywood makes when producing movies, music, and - in tonight's case - advertising. Our Round 2 tonight featured parody songs featured in commercials, and listening to the clips just made me…sad. Not that I'm surprised by any "artist" who decides to sellout and put their song in a commercial. I get it. You gotta get that cheddar, son. It's just strange to hear some of the choices the Don Drapers of today are making for product placements.

For instance, Devo's classic song "Whip It" has been bastardized for a Swiffer commercial imploring you to "Swiffer good!" Look, I'm fine with one of my idiot friends screaming "WHIP IT, GOOD" any time that someone utters the word "whip", but not anything of the sort when I'm trying to dust my bedroom. You know what I'm talking about. "Hey, can you hand me the whipped cream for th-" "WHIP IT, GOOD! *WA-PISHH*" Or is it "WOOO-PAH"? I don't know. Damn you, Chandler Bing.

Another song we had parodied tonight was the classic Los Del Rio song "Macarena" as featured in a Snuggie commercial. First off, I can't understand anything the original is saying (I know some Spanish and have read the lyrics, and it's just nonsense), and they do little to make the Snuggie version better. Here are the lyrics for your amusement:

Sleep overs are the best with our Snuggie,
Playing games when we're dressed in our Snuggie,
Everyone is so impressed with the Snuggie,
We love our Snuggie.
Studying hard for school in our Snuggie,
Everyone says I look cool in my Snuggie,
I'm telling you that you'll love your Snuggie,
I love the Snuggie.

EIGHT BARS ON THE SNUGGIE?!?!? Dear lord. And of course it's white people doing the goddamn Macarena dance WHILST WEARING SNUGGIES. We have so much flava. I'm surprised they didn't have the white people eating spoonfuls of mayonnaise and doing their taxes at the same time.

-----------------

Our first place finishers tonight aptly named themselves after a team member that will sadly be losing a part of himself this weekend. Rest in Peace: Sal's Balls used their Joker on our Round 5 tonight and just beat out I Drink Apple Juice 'Cause OJ Will Kill You to win the quiz. Well done, everyone.

Oh, and he's not "losing his balls." He's just getting married. Congrats, Sal and Nicole!

-----------------

Interesting Notes from the Quiz!:

- We had a dance competition tonight! No one turned in a bonus question answer, so I had two dudes in business attire come up and dacne to Action Bronson's "Keep Off the Grass". It was magical.

- As a member of RIP: Sal's Balls so astutely pointed out, "Pumping Iron Man 3" totally sounds like a porno movie that already exists. I'm too afraid to look it up and find out for sure.

- I wonder what would happen if you punched Spock in the balls, or as I call it - "socking Spock in the cock." It'd be hilarious if his stoic, cool demeanor was shattered by a high-pitched scream and instantly crying his eyes out upon being decked in the junk. I bet Uhura wouldn't be too turned on for him anymore after that.

- After publicly shaming them for choosing the team name "My Couch Pulls Out But I Don't," the members of the team sincerely apologized and changed their team name to I Don't Have a Pullout Couch to make amends. That means more than anything you guys know. Thank you.

- Speaking of team Pullout, they proposed a great movie idea for "Like a Virgin Into Darkness" which is probably the title of a documentary about someone who has waited in his room for the Star Trek sequel since the previous one came out in 2009.

- I would pay fives of dollars to see the movie "Demolition Man of Steel." Hey Hollywood - SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.
