On Deck Sports Bar & Grill - 11.26.14
TEAMS: Thanksgiving Eve and the league hiatus kept several teams on their couches last night. It really is too bad because the trivia was awesome! Newcomers F**K IT and NEW YORK STATE OF MIND took tonight's show into overtime with identical 91s. F**K IT cashed in on the top gift certificate winning the tie-breaker question....barely. Another new team, #BEASTMODE, dropped a 90 and nearly toasted champagne with everyone's favorite French historical figure...Nappy-B (Napoleon Bonaparte)! Veteran team MEOW were awarded a special On Deck gift certificate by Dice for drawing a cat with every single answer! In other news, MEOW plays with a service dog (in training) on their team...
TRIVIA: Did you know that a turducken is comprised of three birds? Everyone knows that you say? Well did you know that a turgoodukfowmalsinquaparquabantenuck is 12 different birds stuffed inside one another? Just so the record is clear, TURGOODUKFOWMALSINQUAPARQUABANTENUCK would be a terrible trivia team name idea. Terrible. Possibly a worse idea than the turgoodukfowmalsinquaparquabantenuck is.
TUNES: I'm still working on creating a downloadable file of some of each show's music...Bear with me, I'm about as tech-savvy as a 40-year-old career trivia jockey... Tonight's music selection was off the charts awesome! New Zealand's Aaradhna got our show off to a great start with her 2013 song "Wake Up." TV on the Radio's "Happy Idiot" and The Black Keys' "Fever" kept the first half pumping along. The second half was highlighted by Postmodern Jukebox's cover of Nickelback's "This Is How You Remind Me" and a song that I'll never tire of, Sister Hazel's acoustic "Champagne High."
Happiest of Thanksgiving wishes to you and yours this holiday. I'm truly thankful for the opportunity to be your trivia jockey and I look forward to each and every show like a kid at Christmas.
