Bethany Blues - Let's Do Trivia Blurb - 5/1/25

 John, here!

Thanks for putting up with a substitute while your main-man Eric is away. To those who remember me as the original Let's Do Trivia! Host at Bethany Blues, dang, you're old! Our first game was 5 days before my birthday, in 2009!

This means, we've been holding trivia court at Bethany Blues for coming up on 16 years! We'll be old enough to drive! A dozen eggs was $1.29! Our facebook photos for Blues dates back to March, 2010! Recognize anyone? The first sets of photos were taken using a film camera with the roll developed and printed to include a digital copy on CD Rom! 

HAPPY CINCO de MAYO!

There may be some Mexican-related trivia, but since most Americans know nothing about the victory in battle celebrated in Mexico this day each year, any Cinco questions will involve people, cartoons, music, and alcohol, an American tradition (and a typical Friday night at my house.)

A reminder, the APP Drawing Board will be fully functional for Round 2, Question 1. So, for 3-points, draw a sombrero (or a reasonable facsimile).

With 13 teams along for the ride, we met the halftime with a mere 7 points separating last from first place! What an awesome group of teams! On top of the hill sat a three-way tie for 1st Place between Off Center, Titanic Swim Team, & Dr. Zoom! 

While the points-gap widened as we entered the final question, every team was still within reach of a 1st Place, INFLATED $50 Prize VICTORY! Yay for y'all! Animals had jumped to the head of the class with Off Center breathing down their necks 1 point back, and Dr. Zoom so close you could smell what they had for dinner! (Bourbon?)

With half the teams wagering safely and the other half chanting, "go big or go home," the final answer was in position to produce an upset victory! 

2 teams had the order correct, both of whom went all-in on the wager. This catapulted Tucker and Cody from LAST PLACE to 4th Place (and a $10 Prize from John) and kept Animals not only in the lead, but unbeatable for the $50 Prize and the trophy for the week! ... Off Center nabbed 2nd and Dr Zoom took 3rd.

Let's have fun! Let's do trivia! See y'all this week!

Bethany Blues - Let's Do Trivia Blurb - 5/14/25

Bethany Blues: An excellent crowd filled with some familiar faces showed up to join this week's game. Just Cheers & Off Center both scored OTB extra points for their responses. The game didn't play into anyone's particular strengths, so it was a tight match over the early rounds. *draw a picture of a parking meter on the Round 2/Question 1 response (5/22/25) to score bonus points* At Halftime, Just Cheers held a narrow lead over a tie between Off Center and Underage Thinkers, then another tie between Bethany Blues and Big Cookie. Off Center came out of the half with a head of steam to take over the lead and ran at the front until being pipped by Zoom Mini as we entered the Final Bonus. The lead duo were followed by Titanic Swim Team, Just Cheers and Big Cookie. Only a single team correctly answered the Final Bonus. Final Top 5 Results: 1) Zoom Mini 2) Off Center 3) Underage Thinkers 4) Just Cheers 5) Titanic Swim Team ...

Bethany Blues - Let's Do Trivia Blurb - 6/19/25

Bethany Blues: We had a packed house with nearly 20 teams (whew!) join in the fun this week. Off Center, Sextupuss and New Neighbors all scored OTB extra points for their responses. It was a close match due to a surprisingly low-scoring game. Everyone was struggling. *draw a picture of Sunny the Smilin' Sun on the Round 2/Question 1 response (6/26/25) to score bonus points* At Halftime, New Neighbors held a narrow lead over a tie between Bad Girls and Sextupuss, followed by another tie between Master Naturalists and D-town, who were followed by yet a 3-way tie. The top eight teams covered by just 3 points. The second half really shook up the running order, favoring a few teams, challenging others. Going into the Final Bonus, Dr. Zoom was just ahead of D-town, Sextupuss, Houston-We Have An Answer, then a tie between New Neighbors and Master Naturalists. Only one team correctly answered the Final Bonus, scoring the victory! Final Top 5 Results: 1) Amer...

JD Shuckers - Let's Do Trivia Blurb - 11/8/23

The Blurb is Back, Baby! Bethany Blues: We had a fantastic turnout with a baker's dozen of teams joining this week's game. Tom Brady French Kisses His Son snagged the OTB extra point and ran at the front for much of the early rounds, but then tripped late in the half allowing a couple other teams past. *draw a new moon in the night sky on the Round 2/Question 1 response for bonus points*. At Halftime, The Animals held the top spot over Fab Five, Underage Thinkers, Dr. Zoom, then a tie between Off Center and Prime Hookers. The Animals maintained their momentum throughout the second half, holding off the advances of Tom Brady French Kisses His Son and Dr. Zoom. Going into the Final Bonus, The Animals were still on top of the pile over Dr. Zoom, Tom Brady French Kisses His Son, Prime Hookers and Underage Thinkers. Only one team correctly answered the Final Bonus, scoring the victory! Final Top 5 Results: 1) Dusty Crabs 2) The Animals 3) Dr. Zoom ...
