TEAM NAMES

Here’s how your wishes would backfire.

I wished for big boobies and got two birds

I wanted to get high and then got stuck on the ceiling.

I wish to be first in the class at everything… first to get kicked out of school, get kicked out of home, get divorced, become homeless, die a painful death…

I wished for luscious hair and my pubes grew two metres

I wish for invisibility… stay invisible forever

I wish to win the lottery and it was the draft lottery

I wished I could fly… turned into a bee

I wished for a healthy kid and got a baby goat

I wished for a nice ass… and got a donkey

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our teams knew they wouldn’t be able to use their first place prize, and donated to another team of first timers who were blown away by the community spirit of our Thursday show.

A team of newbies asked if they were allowed to look up a geography question on Google maps… OF COURSE YOU CAN’T LOOK UP A GEOGRAPHY QUESTION ON GOOGLE MAPS!!!

We listed a number of Wikipedia categories including “Australian test cricket captains” & Twins.  Various teams guessed they all applied to “cricket”, “sports”, and “Australia.”

When we mentioned the Rio Olympics, one team asked if we meant summer or winter.

Two teams asked us to adjudicate a tiebreak as they had both won one leg of their trivia competition, and we dusted off an old lightning round and set to separating them.

And two of our hosts in Canberra got some pretty good reviews on a recent Reddit post.  Though one team mentioned that being friends with the host didn’t help at all.

See you next week.
