Cider Mill 11.25.14
TEAMS: Whoa...Don't walk into the Cider Mill at 7:05pm thinking you're gonna get prime seats...9 Teams tonight, nearly 40 people. Congratulations are definitely in order for FEMBOTS HAVE FEELINGS TOO as they ran away with tonight's contest with a 94 in preparation for the upcoming League Tournament! The Cider Mill trivia team with a soccer problem, the GOAL DIGGERS, held off expanding every week team SCRATCH N' SNIFF at the end for the $20 gift certificate! Veteran trivia teams VAN DE GRAF & THE GENERATORS and CHIMP N' IT made a big push for gift certificates, but each suffered a Synchronous Diaphragmatic Flutter on the final question.
4...count 'em... 1, 2, 3, 4 brand new teams tonight. Watch out for the wise wagering PRICE IS RIGHT; the brilliant and lovely SHINE BRIGHT; my 10-barrel buddy TEAM OLIVER; and LICKS who will obey OLCC laws and take their adorable 2-year-old home at 9pm even though the second half has barely started.
TRIVIA: Check out China's claim to each of the two tallest peaks in the world. This question had everyone stymied, despite it being one of our Last Call USA Hints of the Week. There was some serious debate among the trivia hosts leading up to tonight's show, but our crack research team triple-checked it for accuracy before posting. This might have been one of those times when I should have just played some Dobbie Brothers or Bowie. Be sure to visit www.lastcallusa.com every week for your hints...one of those is gonna be an answer.
TUNES: "The Imperial March" from the Star Wars franchise was my most enjoyable selection..If you played tonight's contest, you understand why! We managed to avoid a menage-a-trois with Billy Joel at halftime as everyone had their answers before the end of "You May Be Right (I May Be Crazy)" and "Piano Man." The second half featured two Violent Femmes songs, "Blister in the Sun" (which didn't help) and "Add It Up" (which didn't help either), as well as one of my current favorite songs on the radio, "Stolen Dance" performed by Germany's hit duo Milky Chance.
I hope each of you enjoys a very happy Thanksgiving holiday and I'll see you all next week!
