Get REDdy for WQ #96

Things are taking shape. And taste.
Tomorrow's round winners don't just get ordinary vodka shots but super special summer homemade (by La MerryKwizMiz höchstselbst) strawberry limeys (fresh strawberries, grenadine, fresh lime juice and OF COURSE vodka - Jimmy Kelly's original recipe). Nicely chilled between now and 8pm tomorrow.
You don't want to miss them.
Or the quiz. With a AmeriCanada round, 80s hits music round and LOADS of canny new puzzles in the picture round. (Have I got mystery objects for you ;))

We still have a few tables so pop in at 8pm (or before) and join the international crowd for a night of multi-kulti mayhem. (we even have 3 versions of Total Eclipse of the Heart for the post-quiz Karaoke ;))

Holidays half-time heads-up

Still very much enjoying the tranquility of my northern Heimat but thinking of quiz questions already (was watching a quiz show on telly the other night, with a familiar face as the 'champion' (who might want to brush up on his culinary knowledge before the next Berlin/German/European/World Championships ;)) and was reminded that the next Wilde Quiz is only 1 week away.
Les Frenchies have sent me their 3 Yogi topics :)
Monday being Canada Day and Thursday Force of July, we are definitely going to have a mixed US/Canadian round. And music will come all the way back from the 80s. A promise I will gladly keep.

Back to barbecues, boats, bicycles and Bildende Kunst.. see you next week. We still have a few tables.

UPDATE: looking forward to welcoming new teams Struwwelpeter, semi-new team Les Frenchies and Oldies but Goldies DAQ*, Saving Graces*, Die 3 Fragezeichen***, LN et les Golfeurs, and maybe JM2D. Shout if I forgot you, it's been almost 2 weeks ;)
We do have enough tables so feel free to pop in unannounced, we'll find a little corner for you.

Texas Rules! almost...

No internet at the mo so short and sweet from the 'caf doon the road.
Points & pics of Thursday's Lone Star-studded mayhem, aka Wilde Quiz #94. Apart from the noise level (which needs to go down a notch in the next week(s), really, peops.. nowt wrong with joy and enthusiasm but 130 decibel is a tad too much) a lovely, almost f***-up free night (never mind old Michelangelo's murals).. and loads of fun. Apparently.
Winners DAQ have opened up a nice little gap but it's early doors and still 8 games to play in CL Season 8. Yogi for #95 has been (wisely) chosen by JM2D an we have 7 teams already so we are definitely going to have a quiz. Unless RealLife interferes and I have to cancel the lark.
Here's the gist of WQ#94... see you for #95 on Thursday, bright and early :D

What lies ahead

Since Lone Stars missed the opportunity to send me some of their wicked wishes for Question Round 3 all 3 rounds are mine (as are the other two :)).. we could see crime, stars, and something new... and maybe blue tunes.

If you have Champions League ambitions - reigning champions ??? *** won't be present - your chances of climbing up that table (Champions League table, that is - no weird  furniture adventures please) or taking the victory along with the bottle on Thursday are much improved. Just beat previous champions DAQ*, and/or previous champions Great CannonBallz* of Fire and/or previous champions Amazing Graces* ;)

So do tell your friends, bring your family, treat (or trick) the neighbours to a quiz and if you're on your own but don't want to miss out on the Thursday fun - Les Amazing Graces will surely be more then happy to adopt you :D

See (some) of you on Thursday, for the rest - have a lovely summer week :)

A Study in Pink

At long last - points. And - for a change - pics. Not of superior quality but they prove you were there. And a fun night it was, with new faces, and ideas, and a lot of hideous colour.
For the next 8 weeks we welcome Lone Stars, all the way from Teaxs, and also welcome to Elect, and hats off for playing with the handicap of previous refreshments ;)
And last but not least - thanks Kevin for spreading the word of Ye Wilde Quiz and sending such wonderful replacement.
And - before I post the pics (no pink, I promise) - Fragezeichen. Apologies. I did add the Prediction points for WQ#92 but my math was off by 1. ERGO - Fragezeichen are official winners of WQ#92 by 0.5 points. Sorry to all involved, not gonna happen again :D
And now the results of week 3 and a few pics.

See you (or at least you, and you, and you) on Thursday 13 June, the rest a week later. You never know, we might have new 'gate crashers'.. always exciting.
Lone Stars - you can send me your suggestions for the Yogi round by Monday 9pm, I won't have time to write anything before :D .. just mail your 3 or more favourite topics to this addy. Looking forward to your picks ;)

Prediction of the week WQ#93

Remember the deadline for this week's POTW:
Ballack & Friends vs World XI, tonight 8pm. That's your deadline to predict a) how many goals Ballack will score and b) how many minutes he will play (+/- 5min)

By mail, comment or fb message.

If you don't attend Wilde Quiz #93 you need not bother. If you don't want to start with 2 points (potentially).. dito.

15 minutes before KO and DAQ & Cannonballs have made their predictions. Eerily similar ones ;)
Come on  Bollocks!!! And Friends. Live on MDR & ESPN UK/IRE.

Sputznudeln, Spaß & Spannung

That was a lot of fun on Thusday.. and I have done some research regarding the rather intriguing team name 'Sputznudeln' .. when it's not a rhenish word for a Xanthippe it is a culinary specialty from Alsace/Lorraine. Some sort of potato dumpling. Given the fact that I remember some team members speaking French, I'd guess the dumpling is the origin of the team name. Corrigez-moi si je me trompe :D

Anyroad, apologies for tardiness, I know updates are late, and still incomplete, but real life (outside the Wilde Quizzes) is keeping me on my toes or at times even hanging by my fingernails. I promise I will put up the few pics of the last 3 weeks, and the points of WQ#90-92 soon. For now - the current Champions League table after 2 weeks. Slight lead for reigning Champions Die 3 ???*** but it's early doors. 10 weeks left for any team who fancy a good race ('fight' sounds so... violent :))

And - since we have a quiz on Thursday 6 June - get some extra points by predicting the following:

International 'friendly' Wednesday 5 June - Michael Ballack XI - World XI

1. How many goals will Michael Ballack score? (+/- 0)
2. How many minutes will he play? (+/- 5)

Send me your predictions by Wednesday 7pm CET. Mail or fb message or comment here.

See (some of) you Thursday 6 June, bright and early - WE START AT 8PM!!!
