OMAMA!

Even the president needs a stimulus package.



HERE'S WHATS HAPPENING

I want this blog to be more than just a place to get the Phraze. Therefore I have pulished some thoughts from Fran Scott about what playing The Big Trivia Show means to her and her team.

"Trivia for us is a neighbor/friend get together. One thing can be said about every player no matter what the team, it is a very humbling experience. Think about it. You are sitting in your chair and Steadman asks : What color is Marvin Gardens in Monopoly? Or how many e’s tiles are in a standard Scrabble game? Simple little questions, right? No. there are so many things tied up to that one answer.

Well of course that has got to be… green..no wait yellow, no….I am positive. Then you go through the game feeling as if you have just won Jeopardy for your team. Surely the Nobel Prize will be next. In your mind, that was the hardest question of the round, and you got it right…Those people spouting off the periodic table are nothing compared to you? You know the color of Marvin Gardens. You have been playing since you were 5. So why is it, that now you are on the hot seat?? Do you realize you have missed half of the game now worrying? And why? To look good in front of the others, who are wondering the same thing you are? I am just as good as they are….A few minutes later, Steadman gives the answers. You start to sweat a little bit. Oh my gosh, what if I am wrong? What if all of these people find out how stupid I really am? A little bead a of sweat rolls down the back of your neck, just to remind you that you are worried…..the color of Marvin Gardens is Yellow. Of course now you are sitting there in a heap of relief..A puddle of trivia testosterone. But who cares…you were right.
My hang-up? Word Jumbles. Since I was a kid, it is hard for me to complete them…and now I have to do it in front of people, and try to beat them? Oh crap. I have found some many new words and different spelling of words, that I am considering writing a book. I am like a bad mechanic in so many ways…They have extra parts sometimes, and I have extra letters. The really dumb thing??? I try to add those letters to the end of the word just to make it fit…..It is really not a pretty sight. It has gotten to be another contest within our group….Probably because they know I am jumbly-challenged. So if you are out are at a bar, and see some women getting really excited over the fact that she just figured out a word jumble, just clap for her and be happy she is not on your team………………………."

New Look, New Objective

Hello Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show.

Are you familiar with KISS? If not, KISS is a modern acronym for the empirical principle

"Keep it Simple, Stupid".

KISS states that simplicity should be a key goal and that unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

It is a principle whose origins can be traced back to such “simpletons” as Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci. They believed in the montra stated above and after giving it some thought, so do I. Furthermore, after judging the lack of participation in the comment section, so do most of you.

Bottom line is, I guess I am putting way too much thought into this Blog and for what?

Absolutely nothing.

I have a four year degree in Journalism. That might explain why I tend to ramble and try to tell a story or relay an interesting anecdote. It’s what I’m trained to do. That’s me, not you. Perhaps for the good of s all. I just need to simplify things.

That’s what I’m going to do starting now. No more meat, just mashed potatoes, butter, and sour cream, chives, and bacon bits.

Before I officially enact this change, we have some other business that I need to address.

I realize this decision will not go over well with everyone but it’s a decision I have decided had to be made.

The Phraze That Payz will no longer be a scramble and it will be worth 3 points. It also may be any length.

Don't get me wrong, I still believe in rewarding loyalty.

Therefore:

For those who want to gain extra points, I feel it will still be worth finding the Phraze in this blog every week. I am also hopeful the less involved Blog will bring more people to it (if that makes sense).

Also, there is an email list as well. If you do not currently belong, please email me at steadman@earthtrivia.com and I will add you to the list. Once a week, I send out a password that is worth one point on your overall score in the three round game.

Plus, there are always new player points to be had. That has not changed though certain restrictions do apply. Read the rules at the bottom of this entry.

I do want to say thanks for reading my ramblings over the past year. I tried to keep it interesting, relevant, and entertaining.

Enjoy the new simple setup.

Our BTS Team of the Week is…..EVERYTHING RHYMES WITH ORANGE

They will earn 3 extra points on their next quiz at SMOKEY BONES BAR AND FIRE GRILL.

You can catch the BIG Trivia Show at these wonderful locations!!

Wolfy’s, Here We Come!

Hello Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show.

In the spirit of Star Trek, there was one land yet to be discovered. Its name is Sanford.

It was up to the crew of Earth Trivia to boldly go where no “Earth Trivia Host” had gone before.

Our mission was successful

Its my pleasure to announce the Big Trivia Show will make its Sanford debut at....

Wolfy’s on the Water starting Monday August 10th at 7pm.

I have spent the last two weeks trying to convey the true aesthetic beauty of Wolfy’s at sunset and now you will get to witness it along with me while playing the fun free game we all love so much.

Plus, Monday is 35 cent wing night and there will also be beer specials galore. Let’s show Wolfy’s what we are all about.

I’ll see you all tomorrow!

Needless to say the “YOU” Blog has gotten off to a slow start.
Let's try this agin shall we?

This week’s “You” Blog Question is:

Will You Miss The Orlando Predators?

We are all looking forward to your responses. Have Fun!

Now for our BTS Team of the Week.

This week’s winner has been here many times before. Heck, they are Hall of Famers for goodness sake. However, this week was different and here’s why.

It was their return engagement.

Over the past couple of years, they would play as a team of 8 sometimes 10 while they prepared for their eventual careers. As time went on, those careers became more demanding and something had to give. Sure, a couple of the guys would still play almost every week, but the core of the team was missing. That is, until this week.

It was also good to see them return to their winning ways. First at Coasters where they took 2nd and 3rd place. They followed that up with an impressive victory at Copper Rocket on Friday. Now, the whole team has yet to make a return appearance, but the core was there, and it was good to see them back together (for the most part).

It is my pleasure to congratulate our BTS Team of the Week…..
I PEED IN YOUR POOL

They will earn 3 extra points on their next quiz at Coasters.

TAKE PART IN THE TOPIC AND USE THE COMMENT SECTION!

Steads

Let’s Talk About YOU!!

Hello Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show.

As a regular reader of this blog, you know that I often talk about things that happened to me during the past week, or it might be a vacation I am taking. Heck, it could be about finding bear poop in my back yard :)

Well, I’m tired of it! More to the point, I'M TIRED OF ME!!
Actually, the original purpose of this blog was to not only highlight the teams that play every week and their accomplishments, but to also get to know the teams on a more personal level. Instead, I find myself blogging about something unusual in my life which is fine if there is nothing else to blog about.

So, this is what I have decided to do. I am making this Blog less about me, and more about YOU!
I want you to use the comment section of this Blog to talk about the question or topic I post each week.

Please include your name and team name. I would even encourage a regular dialogue amongst players of the BTS in the comment section.

I want to start off the New “You” Blog by asking the following question:

WHAT FIVE PLACES WOULD YOU WANT TO VISIT BEFORE YOU “CHECK OUT”?

List them, Leave your name and or your team name!

We are all looking forward to your responses. Have Fun!

Now for our BTS Team of the Week. As I have said in the past, you don’t necessarily have to win to be BTS Team of the Week. This week is one of those weeks. The team we are honoring have been coming to Smokey Bones Bar and Fire Grill for a while now. They have competed and they have won many times. However, this week, they really stepped up to the plate by bringing in at least 10 new faces to the show. This will always get you noticed and just may get you Team of the Week, whether you win or lose. For the record, they did finish third in Game 2. It is my pleasure to congratulate our BTS Team of the Week…..
STEEL CITY

They will earn 3 extra points on their next quiz TUESDAY AT SMOKEY BONES BAR AND FIRE GRILL!

Remember, we begin Monday nights at Wolfy’s On The Water on August 10th at 7pm so make plans to be there.
