Sex and laughter. Tits & Giggles knew what they were doing picking a name. No wordplay, no shock value, just what’s good in life. What’s good for them this week? Winning. 95 points takes it and avoids the tie-breaker Monkey vs Robot and Poop & Pee Warriors had to endure. When was the last Triple Crown winner anyway? Monkey vs Robot will tell you it’s 1978, and they’ll be correct – good enough for 2nd place. Team 6 finished just one point shy of the tie-breaker and had to be (dis)content with 4th place. Seven teams doubled the last round, which might be a record. Not a bad thing for those teams, though, who found “Things You Cram In Your Fucking Face” among the highest-scoring categories of the night. Lube Tears succeeded in their attempt to repeat last week’s mediocrity. Daddy’s Bed. Seriously, guys, what the actual fuck is going on with your team? What you need is less players that are there to distract other team members (you know who you are) and more team members who are there to answer questions correctly (your guess is as good as mine). Maybe send the distractors over to distract other teams. Given our current male:female ratio, this is probably a legit strategy. New team Herr Berr didn’t even want to hand in their sheet after two rounds, but they succumbed to peer pressure. Then they left before the final scores were announced. Probably a good thing; they took last place. Who did I miss? Electric Dream Machine made a game of it in the last round, but finished in the middle of the pack. Not bad for a first-timer. Nerd of Anarchy finished with fifth place. Disappointing until you realize he’s one guy by himself. No single-person team has ever finished in the money, but he has the best shot of what we’ve seen. Naughty Penis made it clear they hate geography (and meat), but couldn’t repeat last week’s win. Tunnel Snakes did what they usually do. Drink beer, have a good time, and finish near the bottom. Not a bad night in the end.
Epilogue: Louis (Lewis?) Lewis and Liz {someone tell me his wife’s name, she hasn’t introduced herself. Liz? I have no idea. I’m really fucking this up.} celebrated their 1-year anniversary tonight in part by playing trivia. I salute their dedication, both to each other and to Milwaukee’s Hardest Trivia. We love having you two out every week. Congratulations, rookies.
Update: Check out Lewis’ total takedown of the Oracle of Delphi question in the comments.

It is Lewis, and you’re guess of Liz was spot on. Thanks, though you should know that if it wasn’t your awesome trivia then we wouldn’t have been there. See you next week. Also, the picture of the “oracle” at Delphi was actually a picture of the building (the type of building was a tholos) near the sanctuary to Aphrodite (whereas the main sanctuary at Delphi is to Apollo, Aphrodite’s was much smaller) and is about 200 yards away from what is now considered the ancient site of Delphi. The oracle would have likely had residence in the back of the actual Temple of Apollo, while the building actually pictured would have probably been a central part of the market, used for all of the weighing and measuring and whathaveyou.. I completely thought it was a part of some other random Greek or Roman Agora, but the rest of the team had us put Delphi down anyway.. Sorry about the history nerd rant there, looking forward to next week. Put Game of Thrones on there again or something..
