Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 11 November 2018

Plenty of people wish they had superpowers.

Well we think superpowers aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

For your team name this week, we want you to tell us how superpowers would backfire.

Super Speed would rip your body apart or burn you to death.

Stopping time would mean all the air molecules would freeze in place & you wouldn’t be able to breathe.

I really don’t want to be able to hear other people’s thoughts.

Anything that explains how superpowers would backfire will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Who knows about fictional highschools attended by Kirsten Dunst? They do.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that a new model of smart phone automatically detects music being played and displays the title & artist. So we will have to be ever vigilant on keeping phones out of sight.

One team successfully argued that hipsters & vegans are effectively the same thing.

When one player complained that a picture of Fidel Castro on The Simpsons wasn’t actually Fidel Castro, we pointed out that The Simpsons was NOT a documentary.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Some of out players attended their show on Halloween dressed as The Bride from Kill Bill and a kidnapping victim.

When they couldn’t remember the names of Dennis & Randy Quaid, one team desecribed them as “the dude from The Parent Trap” and “the stunt double for the guy who writes Game of Thrones.”

When they couldn’t identify a diagram of a Helium atom, we gave one team a hint that it was a gas and that it was one of the lightest elements. Their guess was “Iron”.

One team answered a jackpot question on Brownlow Medal winners with “me”. We said if they could prove that they were Tom Mitchell by producing their Brownlow Medal, we would give them the jackpot. They couldn’t, and we didn’t.

A photo of Inglourious Basterds was described as “a sappy rom com.” Now we aren’t going to judge you on what your players find romantic. Maybe you think killing Nazis is a great thing to do on a romantic night out. So we gave them a point (though they still came in last.)

See you next week.
