Yep, I'm afraid last week's score sheet somehow got misplaced. No idea how that could happen. All I remember (because I have been reminded :) is that The Foam Gets Thicker got first place (newbies nicking the title, there's a challenge!!) and Pinkies & The Brain came second. In the (unlikely) event that the score sheet miraculously turns up I will post last week's table here. If you remember your place & points, let me know, I'll tell the world.
UPDATE: Pregnant Pree-Teens came a respectable third, shared with some team whose name eludes me.. and them.
As for all those who gave points for wrong drawings in the "doodle" round, fig. a) in the picture below shows a heptagon while fig. b) is the heptagram I asked for.
In order to avoid future confusion, I'll mark the sheets myself next time we doodle. Which won't be this week :)
There were a few funny answers in the picture round, especially for the Mystery Object of the Week (which was a deer call or Lockpfeife für Hirsche).
The Pregnant Preeteens reckoned it was a whip for self-flagellation (Peitsche zur Selbst-Kasteiung), while The Cannonballs would have used it to collect sperm from a bull (Bullen-Sperma-Sammlungs-Gerät). Hypo Real Estate figured it had to be a penis pump (don't give me ideas for the next MOotW :), Reimarus had blow jobs in mind and thought it was a bagpipe (Dudelsack) and the Feid Club went wild with an elephant tampon.
And while the score sheet went missing, the drawings from the doodle round are waiting to be scanned & posted. Any volunteers?
Last things last - open mike. A more than honourable mention goes to Dave from Caz & Dave who entertained us with the bestest Sinatra impression I've heard in a long time (BTW - if you're reading this Caroline, I'd still love the picture :).
Which brings us to annoying American gate-crashers. The rules for the little post-quiz singalong are quite simple.
It's not karaoke night - if you don't know the lyrics, invent new ones or don't sing. Or spend your Thursday night at the Irish Harp. I will not be ordered to "get on the damned internet and find the damned lyrics!"
Much fun as it can be (if you're drunk enough), the (sort of) singing thingie at the end is NOT part of the quiz but an added bonus (and even that's debatable) and totally depends on the good will of the person who has the microphone and the laptop. You asked politely, you might get to sing. You shout - you get FA.
If you can't live with that - leave (it).

On the placings from last week - Pregnant Pre-Teens came in a respectable third, tied with someone, but god only knows who.
We will be back next week, if only to steal the crown from their table-mates, The Foam Gets Thicker.
thanx for the update, will correct accordingly...
Your tables are reserved - see you Thursday. You never know, fortunes might be reversed :)
