Trivia Classic ended with the Fighting Mongooses in the lead, on this night known as 2001: A Mongoose Odyssey, with the team (and more specifically Travis!) making their 58th consecutive appearance at Hitch since November of 2017. They had a two and a half point lead on Going Off Without a Hitch, an appropriate team name from a solo Matt Smith. A point behind the last two reigning Champs in third was a multi-person Wookiees of the Year, with our man behind the bar these last few years Neil, joined by his better half! Four and a half points back in fourth were Team Name, looking to win this milestone end just as they had won the 150th! Half a point behind making his 75th Laramie appearance (one of only seven teams to make at least 75 appearances at a single location) but likely somewhere close to 100 or more with his Trusty Rumpets teams was The TRUSTY Folk from Laramie Cigarettes! In sixth was Fuck Billy Zane, former regulars at Farside making their first appearance at the last Hitch to nod their caps, and rounding out the field was another newcomer who fit right in as Obligatory Semisonic Reference!
2001: A Mongoose Odyssey hit on the first of our Game Show Games with the TOP TEN in Countdown Takedown, but keeping close by was Going Off Without a Hitch who nabbed eight points, while Wookiees of the Year picked up six, Fuck Billy Zane got four, and Team Name took two points to their name. Then in our second round two game, Survey Says, it was Going Off Without a Hitch who grabbed the TOP TEN, but only to regain the round one gap as the Fighting Mongooses grabbed eight points. With six points in the game were Obligatory Semisonic Reference, while The TRUSTY Folk gained four points, making sure everyone walked away from round two with points!
Our last Tri-Pardo at Hitch began with Going Off Without a Hitch choosing The Final Frontier and rolling for thirteen points, followed by Obligatory Semisonic Reference choosing Closing Time, because what else could he do, and rolling for seventeen points, followed by Team Name choosing The Last Word and rolling for eighteen points! This meant that a big forty-eight points were on the line, and rolling for that triple and gaining all forty-eight was The TRUSTY Folk from Laramie Cigarettes! This brought Arnis closer to our top two teams, but both Going Off Without a Hitch and the lead team the Fighting Mongooses gained thirty-five points from the second and third questions, as did Fuck Billy Zane! Gaining twenty-two points with correct second and third answers, but an incorrect answer to the first question, were Wookiees of the Year, and Team Name, while Obligatory Semisonic Reference grabbed twelve points with a correct first and second answer but incorrect third answer!
Now at our Home Away it's time for home, where my thoughts escape me...
Thank you for learning along the way with me.
