Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 30 September 2018

This week we want you to be funny.

But you only get one line to be funny with.

If your team name is a joke entirely contained in one line, you will get a bonus point.

I have an inferiority complex but it’s not a very good one.

Russian dolls are so full of themselves.

I was halfway through eating a horse when I said “I guess I’m not as hungry as I thought I was.”

5/4 people don’t understand how fractions work.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming like the passengers in his car.

Any one line joke will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

An Irishman mistook this photo of the Nile river delta for the Shannon river delta.

You know, because of all those deserts in Ireland.

One of our hosts discovered that he knew more about Hinduism than a couple of actual Hindus.

Two Indian players gambled & lost on a cricket question where the answer was Sachin Tendulkar. (And then chose him as their special subject. Ohhhhhhh the irony!)

A team made up entirely of women from Texas & Finland found themselves regularly consulting a table of Australians on the Australian content, and wound up getting the final prize for having just the right amount of ignorance.

And two players came from interstate for one of our quizzes. (Well maybe there were other reasons, but we’re claiming it.)

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 23 September 2018

Last week one of our teams mistook a photo of John Lennon & Yoko Ono at their famous Bed In for Peace as being John Wayne & Yoko Ono, in what we are hoping was a momentary mental slip rather than a legitimate case of mistaken identity.

But that got us thinking. What other famous pairings would have been VERY different if you mistook one of them for someone else.

Batman & Robin Hood

David Bowie & Iran

Shrek & Fiona Apple

Romeo & Julie Andrews

Harry Potter & Ronald McDonald

Real or fictional, anything that mistakes one member of a pairing for someone else will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When trying to come up with Robert DeNiro films, one team guessed Heat for all three of the questions they didn’t know, and were wrong on all three. Sometimes hedging your bets doesn’t pay off.

A British player got a question on Australian TV, until he allowed his Australian girlfriend to talk him into changing it.

A young Bill Clinton was mistaken for James Dean.

In what we are hoping was a mental slip & not a legitimate case of mistaken identity, one team identified a picture of John Lennon & Yoko Ono at their famous bed in as being John Wayne & Yoko Ono.

A real live Greek person failed at getting a Greek question, and a real live Indian person failed at getting a question on Indian languages.

A German got a question on German cities wrong, and two Russians got a question on Russian cities wrong.

See you next week.
