5/31 Recap

This week, we welcomed a new sponsor for the DSO (The Putnam County Spelling Bee, now playing on Broadway at Circle In The Square), and welcomed back Lindsay after what turned out to be a short retirement from Wednesday action. Both of these things are very, very good.

1. Christies & Kristys (no "On This Day" round this week, although we kind of made up for it later on)

2. Audio Round: Song titles that rhyme
In which we played short bits of (and asked for the artists who recorded) the following songs:

• Wooly Bully
  
• Walk Away Renee
  
• White Riot
  
• Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Atitudes
  
• Maybe Baby
  
• Noise Annoys
  
• Ready Teddy
  
• Night Flight
  
• When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around, and
  
• Ooby Dooby

I have more of these. You think it was the right amount of difficult?
3. Marilyn Monroe (who would have been 80 years old today, so she's two years older than Christie Brinkley!

4. The Plots of Brodway Shows (you guys did very well on this. If I put a round like this together again, I'll make it a little harder)

5. True or False

• There was a numbers theme among the team names last night: "The 700 Club," "Rule 6.2" (a guy who played solo and got 9/10 on the audio round), "Three of Cups," "Hawaii 5-0," "Katie Squared." Best Team Name? "Night Of The Living Dead Poets Society," although I really liked "We'll See You In Hell, Wilford Brimley."
  

More later. Did I miss anything?
