Quiz Night #2 This Week

Weak Sauce and Orchestra competed against each other tonight.  Actually we spent the first few rounds battling it out for mediocrity with fairly low scores…then Orchestra kicked us to the curb and shot up to second place only to Getting Quizzy With It.  We tied for 7th with two other teams - one of which was Buffet (!) so I didn't feel so bad.
We had an extra player this week - Dom from the mews.
He was there having a drink with Robert and said he was going to leave after the start of the quiz but of course after one round he was hooked and stayed for the whole thing.
Bill painted this little portrait of Ann Maria this weekend.





Quiz Questions:
What 1959 film was nominated for 12 Oscars?
What actor played Bob Falfa in American Graffiti?
What are the minimum number of darts needed for someone to score 501?
Where was the Ryder cup played this year?
Phenol is more commonly known as this acid.
What was Bruce Lee's last movie appearance before his death?
What is going to be the new UK minimum wage?
What actor was nominated for 8 Academy Awards and never won?

As always there were other questions about horse racing tracks, the president of Afghanistan,  Xfactor, etc but since I didn't get the question jotted down and we didn't get the answer right I can't recreate those.
Ollie looks pleased with his second place finish.
Our acting assignment:  Jen boring Ann Maria to sleep.
The weekly Jen and Jerry selfie.

Our end of night pose:  Bill told us to look up in the sky at a UFO.  I'm definitely more excited about extraterrestrial life coming to visit than Jules is.
