The shape of some summer things to come

For those who have asked about Sommerpause (what Sommer?!?)and/or the schedule for the short/mid-term future… THERE IS NO SUMMER BREAK (why would there be? :) and from now on all quizzes will be back to their normal Thursday slot (unless the back bar is needed for "major events")... From mid-August on there might be the odd change of day/date due to NEWCASTLE UNITED's involvement in the UEFA Cup. Unless we verkack the qualifiers. But all that is still a far cry and for now we continue as if nothing ever happened.
The first game of Ye Wilde Quiz Champions League Season 5 (aka YWQCLS5 or CLS5) will be WQ#49 on Thursday 19 July.
ON Thursday 26 July we'll take a short break from CLS5 and have a big anniversary Quiz. Believe it or not but it's Ye Wilde Quiz #50 already. The Big Five Oh!! Golden Jubilee. We'll have lots of sill stuff, games (PITCHER!!!, paper planes...) and hopefully special prizes (still looking for sponsors :)... The quiz does not count in the CL but rather reflects  1 year of laughable questions, loyal quizzers, liberal quaffing, long-running quests and ludicrous quips… That one is most defilikely gonna be packed to the rafters so first come first seated. Loyalists JM2D, DAQ, Hurricanes, ???, Cannonballs, WFIDE and Graces are seeded. All others need to book.
So  - that’s the plan for now (and the rest of ‘summer’)… mark your calendars, prepare your teams (and answers) and bring your A-Team. Or at least your A Game.
I’m looking forward to the Silly Season.

Silly Sounds, Spaghetti Sayonara, or My Little Sister's White Wedding

YWQ#46 was one more example that it's all about quality, and not quantity (aka 'size does not (always) matter'). Thanks to all the lovely and loyal folks who made the trip down to the Oscar's and had as much fun as they provided. Last night also brought a new personal/team record for the hard core of Ponyclub - 60,5 points, a CL season 4 high score so far and a big improvement in the average ranking (from 49,58 through the 50-mark up to a dizzying 51,14%) Congratulations my little ponies – I’ve always known you’re more than just pretty faces ;). A HUGE leap forward also for the upwardly mobile Buggers (and only 2!!!) who came close 3rd and jumped up to 5th in the table. Also up, up, up, lickety-split went Just Met Today. Fragezeichen dropped a tiny pointchen and traded top spot with DAQ for now. Graces also lost some ground but there are 2 games left and a lot of things can happen. Even Cannonballs could still mitmischen ?
The bestest of last night though - them faces!!! If it's true that ein Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worte - you filled Wörterbücher last night (guckst du hier)   :)

Anyroad - here are all the points and the whole CLS4 table.

Feck. Blogger is acting up again so pics here for download .. or on facebook.
Since there are only 2 weeks left, and it's getting really tight a race, you might wanna book your table asap if you want to be in. And if it were only as a spectator.
For now just this noch - David Ellis have Yogi right for #47 (preferably by Friday or before :), one round will be a RED round (or schwarz-rot-gold, should Germany go all the way), and if you have suggestions for the last rounds of CLS4 - let me know asap. No more sports though (Olympics will be covered in CLS5 - starting on 19 July) and no more geography and/or history. And - sorry - NO HIMYM (definitely in CLS5 though, along with Simpsons, cats, Pulp Fiction, musicals, and Metallica)
And now I wish y'all a reasonably weathered week/end and 2 more wins for Germany. Spaghetti Sayonara tomorrow (LOL@Jen) and then schaun mer mal.
and there I thought I had seen it all...

Horsing around

Bit later than usual but football took over my weekend.. and in style :D
Anyroad, sober again and quiet happy (though others may not be :)

...and so here's the pictures and points and stuff from last Wednesday's Wilde Quiz.































Pix - best of. The rest here for download.

and last but not least - BOOK! Remember that Ye Wilde Quiz #46 is just around the corner. TUESDAY 26 June. So's we'll all be well rested for Thursday when Jogi's Jungs beat Engl/aly. :D

Green beetles, generous Graces & great fun

That about sums up WQ#44. I still have to giggle when I look at the colour green. Thanx for lots of laughs, Hurricanes!!! And thanks to the generous Graces who shared their winner's price with the remaining teams.

Anyroad, here are some pics (rest as usual for download, along with the remaining 30 or so pics from WQ#40), points, table after 8 weeks & book.
Next quiz is on WEDNESDAY 20 June, Yogi-Recht Just Met 2Day (bis 16/17 June) .. have a lovely footie summer till we meet again.

Newcastle, the Next Generation & new winners

Another fun night brought us new quiz fans, new alliances (thanks again to the Hurricanes and David Ellis for lovingly adopting our newbies and strays .. and showing them the ropes :), new highscores (90!!! points for the winners Der Club der dichten Toten who also set new record for MAXIMUM points x 2 - 42!!! in the music round!).. new useless knowledge (quadrotriticale?!) and allgemeines amusement. Also wonderful to have the Feid Club make their semi-annual appearance - was great to see you, sorry there wasn't more time for chit-chat and catchy-uppy moments.. don't be strangers :)
anyroad - before y'all head off into the sunset or weekend, whatever comes first - here are some pics (rest as usual here for viewing/grabbing.. or on f**kbook), points, CL table and revised book/schedule for the remainder of CL season 4.
