NTN Encore Question of April 1st, 2006.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB. Noone was playing video poker tonight so I was able to get a second board just before game time.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4000/5000...2nd/7...METLCA wins round with 4500. ..........LITBOX...4000/5000...2nd/7. I went 1 for 3 in guessing. OnBeat...ROCKET...11000/14000...3rd/7...PLBAAB with round with 8 of 9. ..........LITBOX...11000/14000...3rd/7...I go 7 for 9 in this round. 7 right and 2 wrong was alright with Rob getting me one. JukeBox...ROCKET...16231/20000...2nd/7...ROCKET wins round. ...........LITBOX...16218/20000...3rd/7. 'Robin' is one of the categories. I get the Stevie Wonder song from the album title but don't know the name of Bush's drummer. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22911/28000...1st/9...ROCKET wins round. .........LITBOX...22892/28000...2nd/9. I took only one -250 (and it was for the modern song) this round and now have a similar score as last week.

Now the Encore answers come up. Maybe this will be group members.
Encore Question:..."Rotten Apples" was a 2004 greatist hits compilation from which popular 1990's band?:

I don't know this right away. Rob says the answer before I start to think. I'd have thought it would be a natural if I'd put together 'apples' and 'pumpkins' as a strange name and this album came out less than two years ago. I can only rule out Pearl Jam because I own their greatest hits album "Rearview Mirror" from last year and somehow know it's not Nirvana [big box set last year had a different name]. I steer Phil off Pearl Jam but he goes for Goo Goo Dolls. On the walk home I think that I should have got that answer right away.
Correct Answer:....1. The Smashing Pumpkins
[NTN Extra Fact:...The Pumpkins hits include "1979" and "Tonight Tonight".]
I'm right and win as ROCKET. I finish 12th in North America with 34366. The bar is 9th in North America with a 30187 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 16000 points. [ntn.com kept our bar in 9th place out of 1885 bars]
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank ROCKET 22911 34366 12 38 LITBOX 22892 34338 13 39 COSMO 21971 32956 26 54 METLCA 21899 32956 27 56 PLBAAB 21884 x 10942 6250 2063 MADDOG 11294 x 5607 8078 4506 MACE 10952 16428 4369 1198 BERGIE 4000 x 2000 9314 7168 RATFNK 1891 x 945 9576 8263 [ntn.com listed 9206 players]
