3-05: 1/31 Recap: Popsicles, Souvlaki, Corn Dogs, and Sister Mary Elephant

Yes, I am a pud.

This week's rounds:

1. On This Day

2. Audio Round: Cysted Twister - featuring various Sisterly songs, including selections (can you guess which song I picked) by Night Ranger, the Velvet Undeground, Steely Dan, Cheech & Chong, and the Elvis Presley version of a Dwight Yoakam track from last week. It's all about the continuity.

3. Russians - Black ones, white ones, Muscovites, Petrogradders, even a Latvian, a Tatar & a Kazakh (from when they counted as Russian), and it wouldn't have been complete without a mention of Maria Sharapova and Rasputin, the Beauty and the Beast of the old country.

4. Minty Fresh - In which Janet asked about Peppermint Patty and Altoids and stuff.

5. Name 3's - If you knew who Esmeralda Villalobos was, or Dr. Jonathan Zizmor, or the names of three different foods eaten off a stick, then you probably did okay.

Team names were better this week:
  • 1st Place: Fellowship of the Ringworm

  • 2nd Place: The Pillage People

  • 3rd place: That Harry Potter's Got A Jungle Bush! (I would link to the photo spread in question, but you people know how to use the google, don't you?)



    Followed by (in no particular order):

  • The Dizzle Dogs

  • One Canadian

  • The Remainders

  • Team Kuby: NYHAngels

  • You Stop Drinking, Voices!

  • Kate's Kate

  • FDR's Legs (I had to admit, this was a good name)

  • Secret Agent Death Train!

  • Drunken Inquisition

  • Please Give Us Ramen (They got Pocky instead, and they LIKED IT)

  • UNC 83, Miami 71. Yes, We Even Knew That. (Hm. Not quite. At least you picked the winner, though.)

  • The Little Way

  • Zoole In The Fridge (Did you mean "Zuul In The Fridge," perchance?)



I know it's been over a week. Sorry. I should be in traction.
