Feingold/Kaptur 2012 (Dr Morbius), Monday, 14 December 2009 02:48 (sixteen years ago)

mookieproof, Monday, 14 December 2009 18:08 (sixteen years ago)

I was kinda wondering if anyone's up for round 2

p.s. apparently each week's movie category is 10 questions on one movie and they reveal it the week before. tonights movie category is nu-Star Trek

dmr, Monday, 14 December 2009 18:30 (sixteen years ago)

B**** aske me last night if we were gonna do it again and I did not know.

ian, Monday, 14 December 2009 19:31 (sixteen years ago)

ian, Monday, 14 December 2009 19:32 (sixteen years ago)

I wd go. I asked roommate who is Trekkie if she would quiz w us but she hasn't slept at home in like 4 days so I have no idea what she's doing now?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LICK THE BUS DIRECTLY (Laurel), Monday, 14 December 2009 19:58 (sixteen years ago)

cool. meet there 8:45 and we'll see who shows

dmr, Monday, 14 December 2009 20:03 (sixteen years ago)

i texted a few folks from the hood (b0nn1e, kev p, j4cqueline), as we may have to divide into two teams again. we'll see.

ian, Monday, 14 December 2009 20:10 (sixteen years ago)

okay, betsy's on the fence now but we'll see.

ian, Monday, 14 December 2009 21:19 (sixteen years ago)

I didn't know you were stoned!

Sorry guys, I have an interview for a real job after my fake job tomorrow, and may be in bed by 11. I could maybe do next Monday. Remember that Uhura's first name is Nyota.

Feingold/Kaptur 2012 (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 01:14 (sixteen years ago)

that was a question bill!!!! and we did not get it!!!! we got 8/10 on that round though, and 10/10 on "Toys" and "the MLA List of Best Novels."

ian, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 04:53 (sixteen years ago)

Remember that Uhura's first name is Nyota.

lolll

dmr, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 04:55 (sixteen years ago)

given that that was a major running gag in the movie, I figured it would come up. Was that team with 8 ppl at the table there again?

Feingold/Kaptur 2012 (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 11:44 (sixteen years ago)

Holy shit, Bill!!! Between you and Dave guessing that the Beastie Boys song would be one of the answers, we pretty much precogged half that round and STILL didn't win it.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LICK THE BUS DIRECTLY (Laurel), Tuesday, 15 December 2009 14:41 (sixteen years ago)

Was that team with 8 ppl at the table there again?

there was a big group there celebrating Festivus (no really) and they fielded the winning trivia team but most of em left before the end so I think it was all fair n square

mookieproof, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 15:35 (sixteen years ago)

ian, Tuesday, 15 December 2009 18:33 (sixteen years ago)

what was the other ST question you missed besides Uhura?

Feingold/Kaptur 2012 (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 16 December 2009 00:18 (sixteen years ago)

name of the evil romulan captain

dmr, Wednesday, 16 December 2009 04:03 (sixteen years ago)

Feingold/Kaptur 2012 (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 16 December 2009 08:23 (sixteen years ago)

max, Wednesday, 16 December 2009 15:18 (sixteen years ago)

i should have gone

max, Wednesday, 16 December 2009 15:18 (sixteen years ago)

our official answer was "eric bana with a tattoo on his head iirc" (not accepted)

dmr, Wednesday, 16 December 2009 15:35 (sixteen years ago)

Damn that's cold. Still, maybe the humor value was why we got shots anyway. I still think that's pretty great.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LICK THE BUS DIRECTLY (Laurel), Wednesday, 16 December 2009 15:52 (sixteen years ago)

Lord Soto Odin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 17 December 2009 01:19 (sixteen years ago)

quiz kids, I think I'm too fatigued (after 3 partying nights) to make Sharlene's tnite. You?

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Monday, 21 December 2009 19:48 (sixteen years ago)

Me, I'm saving it up for the next decade.

Cage, Trintignant, Sheen (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 21 December 2009 20:28 (sixteen years ago)

mookieproof, Monday, 21 December 2009 20:31 (sixteen years ago)

these wings places are a menace

max, Tuesday, 22 December 2009 21:58 (sixteen years ago)

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 22 December 2009 21:58 (sixteen years ago)

i think my friend might be mis-reporting the incident from a while back.

ian, Tuesday, 22 December 2009 22:01 (sixteen years ago)

oh, literally a shootout? I thought it was some wings-eating contest you wuz entering.

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 22 December 2009 22:05 (sixteen years ago)

ian, Tuesday, 22 December 2009 22:24 (sixteen years ago)

Ian - were you at Trader Joe's yesterday during the day?

Bay-L.A. Bar Talk (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 23 December 2009 00:44 (sixteen years ago)

pithfork (Hurting 2), Saturday, 26 December 2009 05:23 (sixteen years ago)

ian, Saturday, 26 December 2009 05:46 (sixteen years ago)

trivia movie at Sh4rlene's next Mon is AIRPLANE!

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Friday, 1 January 2010 16:48 (sixteen years ago)

YES, speaking of which, is anyone talking about going to that tonight?? I am avail if there's enough interest for a team.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LICK THE BUS DIRECTLY (Laurel), Monday, 4 January 2010 21:36 (sixteen years ago)

I can't (film I've put off reviewing), and I believe several other players will be at a show tnite?

just remember Ethel Merman plays Lieutenant Hurwitz.

Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 January 2010 21:40 (sixteen years ago)

I'm going to see RoxyMuzak's band at Lit tonight, but should be fine for next week!

Joint Custody (ian), Monday, 4 January 2010 22:32 (sixteen years ago)

Does anyone know anything about credit unions and/or local banks in downtown brooklyn? I'm so fucking sick of Chase right now.

pithfork (Hurting 2), Thursday, 7 January 2010 16:11 (sixteen years ago)

No, but if you find out anything good, I would consider switching too. Downtown BK actually ISN'T convenient for me, but I would be happy to pull my account from xBig Bank.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LICK THE BUS DIRECTLY (Laurel), Thursday, 7 January 2010 16:19 (sixteen years ago)

Or even if anyone is relatively happy with their xBig Bank that would be ok too. I'm just sick of paying fees I was never told ($10 overdraft protection fee for a transfer from my linked savings to my checking - i.e. a transfer I could do myself for free) and getting .01% interest on my savings. I'm actually losing money by having it in a bank.
