Encore Question of April 5th, 2003.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing my two boards with Rob COSMO and Sean METLCA/TRUJLO and having a great game except for about three -250s in the Triviaoke round. Sean is having trouble getting his METLCA board with enough power to stay answering in the last 10 minutes. A visitor was up at the bar using the handle MIKER and was also doing quite well this evening. I thought he was radio personality Mike Stafford who was pointed out once while I was visiting the Bull & Firkin. This man denied it though.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...2nd/9...COSMO wins round with a perfect 5000. ...........LITBOX...4500/5000...my two are tied with METLCA/TRUJLO, MIKER and MOEBAD. OnBeat...ROCKET...13500/14000...2nd/9...our five boards have a perfect round of 9 for 9. ...........LITBOX...13500/14000...2nd/9...COSMO still has perfect game. One of the questions is about Metallica's new bass player and Sean was on for Trujlo. This week he switched from VOIVOD (the band that exMetallica's bassist Jason Newsted joined for a tour recently). JukeBox...ROCKET...19248/20000...2nd/11...COSMO wins round. ............LITBOX...19261/20000...3rd/11...we get the categories we want. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22873/28000...5th/10...METLCA wins round. ............LITBOX...22883/28000...4th/10...COSMO still in lead. Too many -250s this round.
So the answers come up and I feel I should be able to get this.
Encore Question:...She studied "Vibeology" on the 1992 hit single.

I've mentally eliminated Janet Jackson and Madonna before the answers come back up but Rob gives the answer right away. Yeah sounds good to me. I needed another split second mentally cycling through my cassette tape collection while thinking of the follow up singles of 'Rush Rush'.
Correct Answer:...3. Paula Abdul
[NTN Extra Fact:...It's from her triple platinum release "Spellbound"].
I'm right and hold my positions at 4th and 5th in the bar with scores of 34325 and 34309. That's good for 38th and 39th in North America. I earn my 3000+ Players Points for meeting this week's standard which I didn't catch at the beginning of the game. The bar is 3rd in North America with a 34900 average. COSMO wins game and is 12th on the Network Top 20.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank NTN top 2500 COSMO 24288 36372 12 28 METLCA 23213 34819 29 55 TRUJLO 23118 34677 32 58 LITBOX 22883 34325 38 66 ROCKET 22873 34309 39 67 MIKER 20131 x 10065 6921 FENIAN 7143 x 3571 8907 KENREN 4519 x 2259 9308 MAC 3613 x 2890 9115 BIGGUY 1599 x 799 9785
Only during the recap did I realize that I had about 28 seconds to trot over to the bar and tip off MIKER. Next week with Sean and Rob not being here, I will be scouring the bar for enough players to handle five boards.
Other games:...I start the evening with 2,513,500 P+ points for ROCKET and 367,500 for LITBOX.
