Chicks Can Get Guys To Do Anything

It was a tough one this last Wednesday at Pub Quiz.  The winning score was a 28, which is a little off the normal pace, and it looked like there was a lot of head scratching in the crowd.  Chicks Can Get Guys To Do Anything pulled away from the crowd, winning 3 of the 4 rounds, including round four.  However, they didn't win the jackpot, so next week it's 50/50 odds on a pretty good size jackpot!

Here are the round two topics for your studying pleasure:
Sons of Anarchy (tv show)
Doves (band)
Quotes from Goonies
Kwan Yin (goddess)
Cafe Corazon

Alana wins, teams should stick around to see if they also win

Pub Quiz returned this week and not only was it a good night, but it was also filled with things that hadn't occurred in a while.  We had an overall tie, which hadn't happened in a while, and Alana is Satan not only won that, but they won the night. They didn't win the jackpot, but  that happens most weeks.

In round four, there was a tie, but one team didn't put down a song length, so they missed out on the prize for winning the round, and picking topics.  Well, they would have missed out on that, but the team that actually won round four left early.  Shockingly, this isn't the first time we've had a team leave early when they won round four.  In fact, IT WAS THE SAME TEAM.  So, since they weren't there, we gave the round four win to the team that tied but didn't have a song length.  So, here are the topics to study from the Grapest:
Pokemon: original 151
Harry Potter books
Marc Jacobs
Arrested Development (tv show)
Jane Austen
Taylor Swift songs
