This week, we saw the unseeable, played cards with a dummy and threw knives at the ground and grabbed them with our teeth. Plus we saved on insurance with a cool bird …

This week, we chatted about topics along the lines of big penguins, a famous doll toyversary and which Hemsworth brother drew the short straw. Plus there was this Fab Four feature film…
Now here are the week’s trivia rankings with tiebreakers factored in. Again, an amazing display, one and all. (more…)
Wow, what a great night of trivia! Thanks to all the Quizlings who made it possible. Honestly, if you had half as much fun as I had then I had twice as much fun as you did. But I had a heckuva lot of fun so half of that should still be enough to keep you coming back for more.
Again, please nominate Tomato Jake’s for Best Trivia Night in Durham County at indyweek.com and the 2019 Best Of The Triangle Awards.

This week, we talked about dinosaur kings, America’s movable fighting man and the tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff. Plus there was this forgotten TV dick (and, yes, that’s Morgan Freeman as Harry)…
And here are this week’s team rankings. See how you stacked up against the competition!
A great big western howdy to all the fly Quizlings who came out to play this week. Always love to see some familiar faces … and some new faces … and some old faces … just faces. Faces are good.

Thanks to all the most excellent Quizlings who came to play on this wild Wednesday. If you missed it, you missed a fantastic night! Obama stopped by before he went to Cameron Indoor and he asked a few Presidents’ Day questions to the assembled. Then we all gained the power of immortality and/or the ability to smite our enemies with our minds. Also, we gave away a Robocop t-shirt and every team got gift cards because that was the kind of night it was. Plus we brought some people back from the dead (sort of).
Bottom line: Trivia is awesome. Never. Miss. A. Single. Week.
Along the way, we chatted about Big Apple cocktails, old Oscar people and fancy dog winners. Plus there was this catchy tune from the mid-aughts…
Now let’s see how the teams stacked this week and we’ll plan to do it again next Wednesday!
Thanks to all the Quizlings who came to play on this Valentine’s Day Eve trivia outing. Another close game … and the winners readily admit they made it to first place by checking out my weekly trivia hints (follow me on Twitter @SparkyMacMillan). Hey, I’ve been doing this for a while now and there’s no real secret to winning. Ask me how to up your game and I’ll tell you.
This week, we got lost in the Bermuda Triangle, played football with the Alliance and won a Grammy with the Prez from Plains. And then there was this toy hit from Hasbro…
Now check out the team rankings for this week. See you next time Quizlings!
