Trivia Time Again

[barubabe1]

Anyone playing this year? We're combining teams with the Village Idiots this year. They're usually in the top 30, we're usually in the top 90, so it should be interesting. We'll see if my team (the Nude Clown Dancers) can actually be of any help!! :shock:

[TheSolMan]

Our team was top 60 last year hoping to sub 50 this year though. We'll see, can't wait!

[devlish]

we usually play on You Bet Your Sweet Oz... usually in the top 30, sometimes 20 and under. however, this year i'll be in Tampa for the trivia weekend. owell. good luck to all teams

[vettehead]

Thank goodness... now hopefully I can get that 6' cat out of my basement.
Must rest up this week, have to be strong for the weekend.

[helby]

dick.....:)

[barubabe1]

Yes, the Cat is of utmost importance. He will ensure a high score (or at the very least a lot of laughs).

Just make sure you don't do what you did last year or you'll end up with the Cat again! Or at least don't admit to it! :lol:

28th place...ZING

[barubabe1]

21st place...ZING.

Considering only 29 teams ACTUALLY try I don't think you all did so good. Sure there are 400 teams but most are simply partying.

I disagree. For a trivia team to get into the top 100 is quite an accomplishment. Top 50 is very difficult and those teams are really trying, but of course it is all just for fun. :D

[barubabe1]

Final place: 25th. And VPT, I think you're completely wrong. Over the years I've stopped in at many teams to visit friends, etc. and ALL of them were trying. Yes, many of them are concerned with partying, but a lot of them are actually trying too. Not everyone takes it as seriously at Network (who came in second this year, btw!), but like TK said, it's only a fun game.

[vettehead]

Whoooo! 25th.
And even better the cat is out of my basement.
barubabe, who got the cat?
I checked out at about 9:30. I was essentially worthless.

30th:O( we will do better next year

That's exactly why I checked out when I did, too. That and I wanted to see the hubby for at least a little while. Besides two all-nighters in a row was a little much...guess I'm getting old.

Not sure who got the Cat. Pias probably took it home, but I'm not sure. Just know it wasn't me! :D

And Tyger...30th is nothing to sneeze at...despite what VPT says!

[Posihead]

VPT didn't make any posts on this topic, WTH are you talking about???

[TomKat]

Barubabe was using her ESPN. Although VPT did not make any posts on this thread I'm sure he's against trivia.

[barubabe1]

Sorry, I meant Evilution. Guess what he said was so typically VPT, I automatically typed that in instead of Evil. ha. ;)

[EVILUTION]

Your boy Mac's team finished 10th.

[barubabe1]

Mac?

[EVILUTION]

Kyle Macdonald

[devlish]

that's the team sara & i usually play on. however, this year i was in Tampa/Treasure Island trivia weekend

[barubabe1]

I didn't realize he played. Well, good for him. Takes a lot of hard work to place that high. I'm just happy someone beat Network this year. It's about damn time!

[turbo chick]

Our team finished 166th which is good considering we have one computer, dial-up internet, a table full of books, and a bunch of tired brains.

They used to plac in the top 20 before high-speed internet.

[barubabe1]

I know one question your team got right for sure! Besides the Robert Redford one in the beginning.

[turbo chick]

Yup, my brother was a no brainer...for me anyway.

[helby]

People still use dial up??

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

People still use dial up??

She must have been joking, dial-up has not been used in over a decade.

[turbo chick]

No I am not mistaken...the house where we play is part way between Point and Amherst and for whatever reason it is nearly impossible for them to get anything faster without paying a grand. He has looked into it.

[EVILUTION]

FYI - Sentry will soon be offering wireless internet to its employees and schools in the Stevens Point area.

[helby]

ya i read that in the paper...
but..dial up..wow...crazy....i cringe every time i hear a dial up modem.

[barubabe1]

Hey, we still have dial up (through localnet) and it's actually not that bad. Of course, if you spend most of your time watching videos or downloading music, it sucks. But for checking email, etc. it isn't that bad. TC...if your Trivia locale has Amherst telephone, they're offering a new deal that has digital tv, dsl, and phone service for $100/month. B and I will be partaking of that for sure. Everything runs right through your phone line. Checked it out, did some research, and for where we live (and with the morons Charter is being) it's the way to go. Plus, part of the package lineup is NFL Network, so if Charter decides to be a bunch of dickheads and not show the Packer game, we would likely still get it.

[helby]

or u could just not live in bumfuck!

[barubabe1]

Try telling that to my husband. He refuses to live in town.

[turbo chick]

but..dial up..wow...crazy....i cringe every time i hear a dial up modem.

Yeah... so did we...everytime that it diconnected us during the contest!!!!
