Potala Palace, Pinkelhilfe and P&A (-A) write quiztory - WQ#151

Things to take from this week.
I am 100% Canadian. Ryan Robbins is an amazing singer. ManYoo are even shiter (sic) than NUFC. Women can pee standing up. The Dalai Lama once got beat up by?/for?/aboot? Amnesty International. Turkeys yelp. There is a first time for everything.

PÜNKTCHEN & ARNO (minus Arno) WON THE WILDE QUIZ #151!!!
Hallelujah!

All in all it was a fun night (especially the picture round).
Thanks again to the very generous Quizzicals who won last week's quiz  (I shall try and locate last week's points table and post-post here) and shared the spoils (note to self: whiskey that early in the game is NOT a good idea ;) )

Anyroad - here is the rest in pictures.

Yogi is all mine, all mine since I don't expect to hear from Deutschbags (nor AirBerlin Friends)

Prediction of the Week for WQ#152 - same game, new match:
Crystal Palace - Newcastle, Saturday 30 August. KO 4pm (which is also your deadline)

Preview WildePartyQuiz #150:
Things will be slightly different from 'normal', there will be games, NO JOKER, and rounds of different lengths and formats.

• Please do bring your very own mystery objects (or parts thereof), preferably no bigger than a small cow. We will display them and play MysteryObjectOfTheWeek LIVE. At least one per team, we'll pick the best ... :)
• Also, potluck / SecretSanta round. Do send me your assorted questions (max. 10 per team) WITH ANSWERS, we'll pick at least one per team. The usual rules apply (i.e. NO quantum physics, string theory, obscure Japanese films of the late 30s...) - mix 'em well and be creative ;)
• Since we won't have a BBQ, I might be able to round up a few snacks/treats. If you feel like verwöhning your team and neighbours (we will most likely be 'en famille') bring finger or other food (no single fingers, please). 
• Also, send your suggestions as to what you'd like to hear in the music round (NO boybands of any nationality or single bands/artists)..by Tuesday afternoon. If I don't get anything I'll pick my faves ;)

Pünktchen & Arno have Yogi for WQ#151 on 28th, to be sent by Sunday 24th.

And last but not least - FOOTBALL is back. Prediction of the Week - give me the score in the Newcastle - Manchester City game on Sunday and the team to score first. Deadline for that is Sunday 5pm.

And that is all she wrote.
Have a wonderful weekend, I look forward to seeing (some of) you Thursday for the QuizParty. Slightest ever chance of Karaoke too ;)

The Tears of a Clown

As voted for (by the majority), we'll swap the planned European Tour tomorrow for a Robin Williams round. I promise it won't be all sad :)
(...that's ROBIN, not the other one. If it's boybands you're after, please stay at home :D

Predictions are in from DAQ****, Graces* and CannonballZ*.

GO DORTMUND!!!! :D

Writing Quiztory - Trainspotting, table-turning, and trouble (double) - WQ#148

WOW, wotcha know?!

Well, I was all JonSnow when I wrote last night's quiz, not knowing it would write quiz history. Or quiztory as you might call it.
First off, it was a great night, lots of fun, and early finish to boot. Gotta love those summer family rounds.
Secondly - congrats to Fietsch's**** who bagged their second win of the season, BIGCONGRATS to P&A on their first ever second place (forgot to take photo, we'll do that next time) and I look forward to receiving Yogi suggestions from.... <insert drumroll> DAQ**** (though, in their defence, if any were needed, they were only two)
There really IS a first time for everything.
Anyroad, points and new book before I head into the sunset. CLS12 is shaping up nicely. Guess it'll revert to 'normal' once the hols are over ;)

I won't be around for a bit so there is NO QUIZ on 7 August. See you in 2 weeks for #149 and do book your table for the 150th party quiz on 21 August - details on what and how up here later. Suggestions welcome.
Have a nice 2 quiz-free weeks, till the 14 August.
