Space Cadets
Sometimes we take unprincipled stands on topics of zero importance. In our editor’s opinion, a James Bond movie with the word ‘gold’ in it is better than one without and a James Bond movie with the word ‘moon’ in it is the worst James Bond movie. According to at least one team and the almighty Tomatometer, we are very wrong.
24 teams traded beautiful beach vacations for medium-nice Copenhagen weather and an evening of quiz. You knew a lot about notable duets, failed petrostates, and remembered the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. That said, we’re sure The Real Housewives of Cheshire is a deepfake AI-generated show and Dave Brubeck is just a used car salesman.
Fourth Placers took both their first place bottle and second-place league prizes, reminding you that quiz occasionally pays off. Copenhags had an absolute ripper of a music round that had them choosing free beers at the end of the night. Tåsingegang was back in the winners circle this week with an impressive third-place finish.
Almost Averagers, no joke, ended up with an exactly average score but like all soothsayers and prophets they disappeared just as mysteriously as they arrived. This left room for the last remaining member of the most average usurper team Salt to snag a whole beer for himself. Persistence is nine tenths of the law. Mad Monkeys won the most recent round of increasingly mysterious Danish liquids for their good sportsmanship in last place.
