Not every quiz night can be a win

We had two special guests at the quiz tonight - Jana and Mr. Dibley.  I don't know which was more excited.

We broke into two teams - boys (Orchestra) against the girls (Weak Sauce).
Jules was not happy with the picture round.
I tried to sweet talk us some points.
We came out of the gate behind.  And we stayed behind.  We are not graceful losers.
But we are cute!!


Quiz Questions;
Who is the mother of Blue Ivy Carter?
What links the name Benjamin Pierce from MASH and ___(I don't even know what the other thing was but I knew the answer)
Gerry and the Pacemakers were the first act to have their first 3 songs be #1 hits - what other Liverpool band also achieved this?
What British fashion label shares it's name with a 1971 Gene Hackman film?
What was first heard on the London Underground in 1968?
Besides Diamonds Are Forever, what 5 other James Bond movies have 3 word titles?
Mr. Dibley wasn't much help.




Orchestra beat Weak Sauce but neither team did very well in the overall standings.  THe big winner was either Getting Quizzy With It or Miami Quiz Machine…I don't remember which team won the tie breaker.  Arch rivals Buffet were not in attendance.
