Last week had a great turnout for our
inaugural session at On Tap @ the Harbor!
We had a total of five teams playing:
Plastic The Lathering
Canoe Paddlers
Monkey Wrenches
Travelling Dingleberries
Jack Mehoff
Top honors went to Plastic The Lathering.
The Canoe
Paddlers came in second, followed closely by BRAND NEW TEAM Monkey Wrenches.
Thanks to EVERYONE who came out!
LEAGUE PLAY UPDATE – I submitted scores last
week, but they are not all entered.
I have emailed my Trivial Overlords at Last
Call USA, and they are working on the problem.
You can check HERE to see if scores are posted.
I took the liberty of enrolling some of our
veteran teams, so you may already be registered!
HINT REMINDER – You should check the Last
Call USA website every Monday.
If you go HERE, you can see the weekly hints.
REMEMBER: Look at the TRIVIA hints, not the Name
that Tune hints.
LAST CALL NEEDS YOUR HELP TO AWESOMEIFY OUR NEW GAME!
Last Call is working on a new game. It’s different from the regular quiz –
instead of knowing insanely obscure facts, you’ll need to know what
“everybody knows.” You’ll be asked about what the most popular answers are to
everyday simple questions.
(You may see that there
is a passing resemblance to a popular televised programme from one of the
tube’s Golden Ages. Total coincidence!)
If you want to help create the game, you can
visit our new site playlastcallfeud.com and answer the exact survey
questions that will be used in the game.
We don’t have any bars signed up for this
game yet, but stay tuned for more details!
FUN (?) STUFF:
A.) I put a quiz in this newsletter every week.
Sometimes it’s one question, sometimes
several.
You can always check the blog
the day of the show to see the quiz if miss the email.
This week, it’s at the bottom of this page.
There is always a prize. It
is seldom a good prize.
To win – Be the first person to tell me the
correct answer IN PERSON any time AFTER 7:30pm.
(This week is a little different, see below
for more details.)
B.) I also put a slightly easier question on the facebook page for On Tap @ The Harbor.
I post mine usually on Mondays.
They usually re-post it under their
official feed/timeline/thingy
later that day, or on Tuesday. Check it out.
To win – Be the first person to tell me the
correct answer IN PERSON any time AFTER 7:30pm.
This week’s quiz has 6 questions.
If you take the first letter of each answer
and arrange them in a certain order, they will form a word.
What is the word?
The questions are:
a.) Fans of the Cuyahoga
Falls/Akron/Kent band Devo often refer to themselves by what potatonic
nickname?
b.) What indoor games
includes these trick shots: a “cracker” defined
as “a simultaneous knock-off and squop,”
and a “crud” defined as “a forceful shot whose purpose is to destroy
a pile completely” ?
c.) What is the only planet
in our solar system bears the name of a diety from Greek mythology?
d.) From the greek word that
means “Open Sea” what nautical term refers to the zone of water that is neither
close to the bottom, nor near to shore?
e.) What 1875 poem is the
origin of the phrases “I am the master of
my fate: I am the captain of my soul.” and “bloody, but unbowed” ?
f.) What canine species is
thought to have hunted the Tazmanian Devil to extinction on the Austrian
mainland?
See you tomorrow.
