This comes up a few times in the thread each year, but join us if you don't think you'll be very useful. I guess I could also add join us even if you can only play for a couple of hours. We've had high-scoring questions answered by people who just hopped on for a couple of hours, and you never know what sort of useless information would get an answer right. There's always #tpmusic if you just want to hang out and listen to music all weekend (and answer the music snippet questions).Man with Hat posted:WE'RE COMING FOR YOU, NETWORK Did someone say Network?    quote:03:08 Spretznaz We stayed to take a picture, they come out with their BIG trophy and go "You know, you guys should try some NATURAL intelligence"

Hey now, it's usually 1950s, not 1930s. Whichever decade had the German baby song and "Please Mr. Custer".

Deviant posted:hold on are you telling me the theme is actual cars and not Gary Numan's "Cars"? When Oz announced the theme during the station's radiothon, he mentioned classic cars and cars in movies.

Driving somewhere in town while the trivia stone questions are being ran must be a pain in the rear end. Same with ordering any kind of food that weekend.

The only motivating thing about work is the knowledge that pictures will be ready by the time I get home.

Thanks to everyone who participated. Even if you weren't on very long or did much, you were at least there for moral support and that's the important part. If you want to contribute more in the 53 weeks we aren't doing trivia, you can always take notes on lovely sitcoms so nadando aka our note-taking machine doesn't have to.

Do you want to help in the offseason but you can't stand the lovely sitcoms Oz watches? If you see pics of cereal boxes, limited edition products, whatever Vince Offer is shilling, etc., send me pics! Please pm me or check #tp or the mailing list for more info.

Some of us on the team ran a four hour contest last year, and that was harder than you'd expect. The most difficult thing was to make sure we had a decent spread of easy and difficult questions because we had participants ranging from Dad's Computers to a teams whose answers were funnier the drunker they got (can't remember the team name). We double-checked our questions, but even then we had one that was thrown out because of a conflicting answer and a couple that weren't worded correctly. Yes, Oz has gotten some questions wrong, but he and Eck have to come up with ~430 questions every year that will keep as many teams entertained as possible. They do it by themselves over a span of two months. Their dedication is one of the main reasons I enjoy the contest.
