Encore Question of June 24, 2000.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.
Answers:
Tonight I'm well behind The Regulars, more than 2000 from any of them. I'm playing with Richard BERGIE, Bill MADDOG, Kimmo KAV, RONI (some visiting guy), and Debra WOTUS all in various states of concentration.
My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp....4000/5000...1st/18...ROCKET, MADDOG, BERGIE, RONI, and ELVIS tie for first. OnBeat...9250/14000...7th/18...ELVIS in lead with 11750. I've got six right, three wrong. JukeBox...14320/20000...7th/18...TIGER wins round, ELVIS in lead. Triviaoke...18518/28000...6th/16...KELLY wins round, ELVIS still in lead.
Well seeing these answers there was nothing I could turn to in my book. Richard said it would be something like a song title. With 50% on the line...
Question:..."Is This _________", is an enquiry made by Whitesnake in the 1987 smash hit.
I knew it instantly and so did Richard and Dave (COITUS most weeks). We spent most of the rest of the 30 seconds talking about David Coverdale and the 1980s videos with his then girlfriend Tawny Kitaen.
Correct Answer:...3. Love
I stay in 6th place with 27777. I earn 3000 Players Plus points for meeting tonight's point standard (I didn't catch what it was nor the extra fact they give after the correct answer. The bar is 7th in North America with a 33124 average. I finish 704th on the individual rankings.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ELVIS 22789 34183 39 8th on Top 20 Network board KELLY 22734 34101 40 MOLSON 22107 33161 51 VIKING 22072 33108 52 TIGER 20711 31067 79 ROCKET 18518 27777 704 MIASMA 17894 26841 1017 BERGIE 16529 24793 1702 MADDOG 16204 24306 1865 JASAS 13927 20891 3008 KAV 12698 19047 3625 RONI 12199 18299 3876 COBRA 10108 x 5054 8308 BRUZER 6515 x 3257 8910 WOTUS 5000 7500 7490 CRANKY 2816 x 1408 9528
