So, a new team, The DL's, picked up the win this last week.  Good for them!

The Work of Bavmorta won round 4 again and so the following topics are the ones they chose.  And just to out them a little bit, they were so confident that they were going to win round 4, they had their topics written before the end of the game.

1. NFL
2. New York Yankees
3. Martial Arts Styles
4. Transgender
5. Cultural & Social Taboos
6. Chloe Sevigny
7. John Waters Films

There you go.  Study up!

As an aside, the email group now has 45 pending memberships (including the 7 I added today).  If your friends are wondering why they aren't getting updates, it may be due to the fact that they haven't actually activated their membership in the group.  In that same vein, I don't invite about two people per week because their handwriting is too messy to discern what their email address is.  So you may mention to those same friends that are wondering why they aren't getting updates, that they should write their email a bit more legibly.

Okay, business aside, pub quiz is motoring along quite nicely though attendance did dip to 68 this last week.  We suspect some of that had to do with conflicting activities.  That we are still averaging 75 to 85 players each week continues to astonish us.  Thank you so much for making this such a fun and popular Fresno facet!

Pub Quiz results for 4/7/2010 and topics for next week's round 2

Thanks to all of you that made up our 95 players last night.  And for those of you that were unable to make it, we look forward to your next appearance.

Mad Figs eked out a win by a slim margin and won the jackpot so kudos to them (despite all the poor sports and booing players on the other teams).  If any of you Mad Figgers are reading this, you've apparently created some arch nemeses by being the winningest team in our short Fresno Pub Quiz history.  My advice to all those teams that don't like it when the Mad Figs win...build a bigger and/or better team.  There are many teams that place closely, Corporate Zombies, Alana is Satan, The Work of Bavmorta and a couple of other teams that change their names around are always lurking (and sometimes winning).  Fresno has more than 8 trivia buffs.  Find 'em and bring them to quiz night!

Enough rambling, Blogocide snuck in a winning round last night which just so happened to be the 4th round.  Here are the topics they chose for round 2 of next week's pub quiz.  Study up!
