WELCOME TO THE
BILLY WARMTH TRIVIA SHOW

Announcements

RANT OF THE WEEK
Disturbed by Event at Crossgates

Last Thursday night something happened at Crossgates that I was not fully aware of until after the show and I am VERY concerned and upset about it. Apparently there were some words exchanged between members of 2 teams over the use of cell phones and the "F" bomb was dropped more than once. Had this been reported to me by only one person I would have possibly blown it off as a frustrated trivia combatant but I heard the same story from 5 different people, 3 of which were unconnected to either team involved. To save, at this time, the offending team any embarrassment I will use "Team A" and "Team B" as their designations.
Apparently some members of "Team A" got upset because some members of "Team B" were using their cell phones during the show. They were, as reported to me, texting their boyfriends back and forth. Words were exchanged between the two teams and members of "Team B" said to "Team A" "shut up bitches" and "fuc?'n old lady". This is totally unacceptable conduct and will not be tolerated. For Pete's sake folks this is a friendly event and if you have to be like that I suggest you stay home and drink a bottle of laxatives. As for the use of the cell phones, if you have to cheat, which has not been proven, to get answers from someone via the internet or phone, that is really sad. The rule is "NO CELL PHONE USE DURING THE SHOW" and it means exactly that. It is NOT a suggestion, it IS a rule. The only exceptions I make are emergency calls and to the doctors I have in attendance and members of the legal community who may be on call and each of them has always notified me if they are on call and they have the courtesy to take those calls outside. At no time should you have a need to be calling or texting someone yourself. If you have to constantly be texting a boyfriend or girlfriend every 2 and a half minutes you have insecurity issues that need to be dealt with. I am not as upset with the cell phone use as I am the vile language that was used. If it happens again I will have no choice but to publicly humiliate the persons involved and ask you to leave. You DON'T want to challenge me on this. Yes, maybe I should have been more observant, yes, maybe it wasn't any of "Team A's" business but that does NOT excuse the language used. I think it would be appropriate for the offending team members to offer an apology this week, and you know who you are. It is my show and these are my rules. Are we clear on this matter. Thank you for listening.

Last Week's Blurbage

Well, we are getting back to normal after our Memorial Day break. 75 people on 12 teams came out to the Barn Door last weekand a VERY stunning development occurred. No, "Out of the Vortex" didn't lose. As a matter of fact they won quite handily. No, the SHOCK was "KC" finishing 2nd. The trivia world was brought to it's collective knees by this. Karen and Cori, without Kim (the weakest link apparently) stunned everyone by not only finishing 2nd but they actually had the lead after 2 rounds. This is something that they have NEVER done, ANYWHERE. Even more surprised than me was "Cultural Ass Kicking". The newlyweds, Bill and Kim, along with Father Tom, Dan and Brian, had to suffer the humiliation of finishing one point behind "KC" in 3rd place. I know Brian and Dan left in tears because they were in the lead after the first round. A big hearty welcome goes out to "Ubersmack" with special guests Mike Horn and Mary Todd Lincoln (you had to be there). "Ubersmack" is one of Mike Horn's regular teams at his Cafe Chuckles trivia show on Sunday nights and though they are usually in the top 2 at Chuckles, they struggled mightily on Monday and finished 4th just ahead of the troubled "Wacky Corner".

LAST WEEK'S BLURBAGE

OMG, 21 teams, 135 people, it doesn't get much better than this. "Out of the Vortex" outwitted the "Stupid MOFOs" in a battle of trivia titans."R&R" finished well back in 3rd place because of A-Rod being thrown out of the hamlet by Manny Ramirez over his use of Scope instead of Listerine. Yeah, you had to be there to understand that one. A 3-way tie for 4th was forged between the "Bar Ks", the lovely Shayna was back for the 2nd week in a row, "Crimson Tide", the lovely Kelsey joined them and "Off Duty", the lovely Sara was NOT able to be there. Oooops, before she gets her panties in an uproar, the lovely Joyce of the "Stupid MOFOs", likes to see herself mentioned at least once (if not constantly) in my blurb each week. Her teammates Tracy and Lisa think she is a total wack-job. Her husband Rick just rolls his eyes and takes another swig of his beer. Erin thinks they are ALL nuts.

Your Upcoming Mini-categories are:

June 12th - Special Education
& Songs w/Colors in the Titles
June 19th - Swimming & Survivor
June 26th - Law & Order & CSI:NY

See you guys Thursday night.
