NTN Encore Question of April 28th, 2007.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York, Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Sean METLCA, Rob COSMO, and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...3000/5000...7th/10...LEAFS wins with 4500. ..........LITBOX...3000/5000...7th/10...I'm in a three way tie. I went 0 for 4 guessing the one's I didn't know. OnBeat...ROCKET...11000/14000...3rd/11...my two boards and COSMO and METLCA win. ..........LITBOX...11000/14000...3rd/11. 8 right and 1 wrong was great especially after missing the first question. I was coasting off previous week's knowledge as I was at a soccer game earlier today and didn't get to read much online. JukeBox...ROCKET...15696/20000...3rd/11...METLCA wins round. ...........LITBOX...15676/20000...4th/11. Triviaoke...ROCKET...19581/28000...3rd/10...COSMO wins round. .........LITBOX...19561/28000...4th/10. I take two -250s in this round and got help with two others that I would have been wrong on and two that I would have not got as fast.

Now the Encore answers come up. Everything about Ozzy Osbourne. All album titles? I don't expect I will know this. We're going to rely on Sean METLCA for this one although he says he won't be sure that he'll know.
Encore Question:...Which album first saw Ozzy Osbourne paired with Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads?

I don't know this. Sean isn't sure either. The one fact I can help out with is that Randy Rhoads died early in Ozzy's career so pick the oldest. That decides that Sean will pick the correct answer. Rob says he will pick an answer we don't cover. I wouldn't have been able to sort out his albums by date.
Correct Answer:....3. Blizzard Of Ozz
[NTN Extra Fact:...FACTOID: Rhoads appeared on only two of Ozzy's albums before being killed in a plane crash in 1982. ]
The order that these albums made the charts (from my Billboard book) were 11th, 13th, 1st, 2nd, and 5th.
I'm right and move up to 2nd as ROCKET with 29371. I finish 7th overall in all North America. The bar is 16th in North America with a 27711 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's points standard of 19000.
[NTN.com left us in 16th place out of 1847 bars].
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank METLCA 21531 32296 410 86 COSMO 21331 x 10666 6832 1475 ROCKET 19581 29371 1278 138 LITBOX 19561 29341 1287 139 PLBAAB 19247 28870 1427 154 LEAFS 14055 x 7078 7913 2732 DUKE 12539 x 6270 8138 3156 WRENCH 12453 18679 4453 593 C FARF 10127 x 5064 8496 3875 YODA 9052 x 4526 8656 4233 [ntn.com listed 7674 players]
I had been to the first home game of the MLS Toronto FC soccer team played at the brand new BMO stadium. They lost 1-0 and haven't scored a goal in their four games (all losses) this year. The game was moved up to 12:30pm so it could be shown on the CBC network and not interfere with hockey playoffs. This meant I had time to get home and glance at music news on the internet and have my supper before walking here.
Other games:...I start the evening with ROCKET at 3,661,000+ and LITBOX at 1,389,000+ Players Plus points:
8:00pm...Jukebox...ROCKET...11335/14000...4th/7...1000+ points...I'm 350th in NA.
.............LITBOX...11335/14000...4th/7...1000+ points...I'm 350th in NA...bar is 6th in NA with a 11662 average.
This night we each took a marketing survey put out by the bar. We earned a $5.00 coupon but the time involved with subquestions of the questions made me question whether this was comparable to the minimum wage.
8:30pm...Tuned-in TV...ROCKET...8405/15000...3rd/10...1000+ points...I'm 2544th in NA...bar is 307th in NA.
...............LITBOX...8403/15000...4th/10...1000+ points...I'm 2546th in NA...COSMO wins.
No Simpson's questions this week which was great.
9:00pm...Playback (see above).
10:00pm...RetroTV Countdown...ROCKET...14007/15000...2nd/12...1000+ points...I'm 57th in NA.
..............LITBOX...14028/15000...1st/12...1000+ points...I'm 55th in NA...bar is 16th in NA with a 13638 average.
