TPBs Take Second in Week 5

Week 5 | March 1, 2012

It was a good night for the Trailer Park Boys!  This week Davey, Xavier, Pat, Eileen (Pat’s sister), Mary, Adriene (Mary’s sister), Mark, John M, and John D showed up to play for the TPBs.

Berlin Wall

The bonus question for round one was “What was called the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart by it’s builder?” The word “rampart” caused many at the table to start singing the Star Spangled Banner only to realize that they still couldn’t figure out what a rampart was.  After some discussion, we decided that it was part of a fort. (A rampart is a defensive wall.) That lead to our best guess, the Berlin Wall.  With my uncanny ability to rationalize away right answers, I started down the path of thinking that it couldn’t be the Berlin Wall because that was build after the Nazis were defeated in World War II.  So we answered Berlin Wall and wagered no points.  We were one of those teams that had the right answer and couldn’t bring themselves to risk even 5 points on it.  WAH-WAH

We came back to nail the Fast Action Bonus (FAB) at the end of round one which added 35 points to our score!  Pete caught us off guard by putting the answer of the week in a multiple choice question.  We thought he was faking us out, sure that Chrometophobia was the fear of color.  But it turns to be the fear of money.  Excellent dis-tractor, Pete! Another 5 points missed.  Pete came back to get us again in the FAB at the end of round 2 by asking what year the Berlin Wall was built (13 August 1961).

We earned 300 more points and came in second for the week! Starting next week we will have the ability to bet all of our accumulated points for the tournament on the final bonus question which could go along way moving us up the leader board.

Trailer Park Boys Screw the Pooch!

It’s that time of year again!  The Frogg Pond’s winter trivia tournament is in full swing.  The Trailer Park Boys (Mark P, Pat G, Mary B, John M, Davey K, and John D) started week 5 (of the 16 week tournament) in third place.

This week’s final questions was, “What formula did  pharmacist, John S. Pemberton, invent?” Davey wrote Dr. Pepper so fast we were all impressed.  Everyone felt very confident and the team decided to bet the farm… all of our 281 points.  Unfortunately, the answer was Coca-Cola. Luckily, we get to drop our lowest score.

Come Join Us!

The Trailer Park Boys are always looking for new members to join us on Thursdays at 7pm at the Frogg Pond in Rehoboth Beach, DE.  Pete does an amazing job of coming up with the questions and we manage to have a great time whether we win or lose.

East Passyunk Avenue in a Travel mag? Think They Forgot One Important Part!

Somehow, E. Passyunk Ave got a glowing write up in some stupid travel magazine because they are rededicating the stupid “singing” fountain (“singing” because it has speakers playing sirius radio mounted around it).  I believe the article left out one important part that I have personally experienced living in this neighborhood.  I left a comment on the article to that affect.  It reads as follows:

Just don’t let the older native Italian crack head and meat head bigots find out you are gay, black or Latino or they’ll beat the crap out of you on the street while the police look away. And beware the unemployed pharmaceutical junkies on xanax and percosets. They have no idea what they are doing and they may suddenly start screaming profanities at the sky or a telephone pole or anything that moves. There’s a TON of unemployed pill popping junkies in this neighborhood walking around like empty headed zombies.
