Encore Question of July 2nd, 2005.
Played at the Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with three boards all alone as ROCKET and LITBOX and TSUPRA (named after Toronto Supra soccer team who I saw get beaten 5-1 earlier today by Cruzeiro of Brazil. To make it worse it was the visitor's Under 20 team.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/3...ROCKET and TSUPRA win round. ..........LITBOX...4000/5000...3rd/3. ..........TSUPRA...4500/5000...1st/3. I split once and guess right 2 out of three. I should have got the Live8 broadcaster right although it was about US network coverage. OnBeat...ROCKET...10500/14000...1st/3...all my three boards go 6 right and 3 wrong. ..........LITBOX...10000/14000...3rd/3. ..........TSUPRA...10500/14000...1st/3. Didn't get much chance to keep up with Online news. JukeBox...ROCKET...15697/20000...1st/3...ROCKET wins round. ...........LITBOX...15197/20000...3rd/3. ...........TSUPRA...15560/20000...2nd/3. I got the categories I wanted and guessed pretty well. Triviaoke...ROCKET...18295/28000...1st/3...LITBOX wins round. .........LITBOX...17814/28000...3rd/3. .........TSUPRA...17900/28000...2nd/3. I took three -250s this round. I was only upset about the new song 'Cater To You' which I've heard sung by Destiny's Child so I stayed away from that title as the solution when they listed some other artist.

Now the Encore answers come up. I don't have a good score. I'm not able to play alone anymore and get 30000. This question? I don't know much about these groups (well Encore type answers anyway). Only three boards in the whole bar and they're all mine so I can split and be almost sure I'm right.
Encore Question:..."I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" is a track from a 1998 album by:

I know this song title. I didn't notice that the year involved was the same as last week's question. Has it really been seven years? Where has the time gone? No splitting here. Back to the quizmasters most popular number.
Correct Answer:....3. Marilyn Manson
[NTN Extra Fact:...This single and "The Dope Show" are cuts from the album "Mechanical Animals".]
I'm right and win as ROCKET with 27442. I finish 65th in all North America. The bar finishes at 1054th in all North America. I earn 3000+ points for meeting this week's standard of 18000 points. Hey that's eight correct Encores in a row without splitting. [ntn.com moved the bar up to 128th of 1855 with a 16202 average].
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank ROCKET 18295 27442 65 191 TSUPRA 17900 26850 71 210 LITBOX 17814 26721 73 217 [ntn.com listed 7422 players]

Ah. Who put this game back into the rotation? I couldn't make the 600 point standard as I know nothing about racing. Oh well it was the finale of Live 8 in Canada with
