The Quiz is Back In Miltown: League Concludes at Ale House

Patrons were mixing quizness with pleasure this Monday night at the Milwaukee Ale House. It was the final of the bar's ninth trivia league, with former champions Miltown Junks vying for a record fourth title.

However MJ had not won a quiz league in the last two outings and were desperate to regain the spot at the top of the quiz throne!

They did have a solid lead going into the evening's event, but were closely trailed by a number of teams. But in true MJ style they didn't drop dead, but rose to the occasion and won the league championship.

Assume the Position were just three points back in the end (in the league) but won the night's first place bar tab.

Defending champs Bark Twice If You're in Milwaukee were third in the overall standings and will surely be back for the next league to contend once more for that precious title.

We'd like to thank all the teams that participated in the full length of the league including In My Pants, the Catalina Winemixer, Quizzers With...., I Just Can't Quiz Enough of You, and Here for the Humiliation.

A new league will begin next Monday July 13th and will run for an anticipated six weeks period! We hope to see you back at the Ale House!

Until next time Milwaukee, drink while you think...

Article of the Week - The E.N.D.

The E.N.D.:
Short for "Energy Never Dies"

The E.N.D. (short for Energy Never Dies) is the fifth studio album by American hip hop group Black Eyed Peas. It was initially released on June 3, 2009, in Japan and later worldwide from June 9, 2009. The production is led by will.i.am who takes the album away from the group's traditional hip-hop style into a new era of electro-hop. The album features more anthemic and inspirational songs in a bid to appeal to a new generation of music listeners.

The album name was thought about since 2006, around the time Fergie released The Dutchess. Originally, they were going to call it Evolution. but that was also the name for Ciara's then-upcoming second studio album. The album title was then tentatively changed to From Roots to Fruits, before the group decided this title may be better suited for a future compilation album. The name was changed again to The Energy Never Dies, before being shortened to The E.N.D.

Quiz Night at Ale House Ends in Sudden Death (Again!) League Final Next Monday!

It was back to quizness once again this Monday night, as a full Ale House came out to challenge the Quizmaster.

While there were a few absences, none more notable than the defending champions, Miltown Junks, who were missing some key players, it was generally Laissez-Faire in Milwaukee's Third Ward.

However, once again the quiz was decided with a Sudden Death finish, as The Catalina Winemixer and Assume the Position tied on 40 from 45 points. The former team stole the first place prize in Sudden Death, although the latter now sits second in the table, with all teams now having their single bye week taken away from their total score.

Next week's quiz score, which will be boosted by a massive wager bonus round, will be added to each team's current score to give its final tally.

Defending champions, Bark Twice If You're in Milwaukee, currently sit fourth although only six points separate them from first place.

It could be interesting next Monday. We'll see you then!

Until next time Milwaukee, drink while you think...

Article of the Week - Nicky Headon

"Topper" Headon:
Got his nickname for his resemblance
to a certain comic book character

Nicholas Bowen "Topper" Headon (born 30 May 1955, Bromley, Kent, England), known as 'Topper' (because of his resemblance to Mickey the Monkey from the Topper comic), is a British rock and roll drummer, best known for his membership in the punk rock band, The Clash.

Headon is commonly recognized with the best punk rock drummers of the late 1970s and early '80s; critic Greg Prato writes, "producer Sandy Pearlman dubbed Headon 'The Human Drum Machine,' due to his impeccable timing and skills."

Before meeting Headon, the Clash went through several drummers, including Terry Chimes, who recorded on the UK version of the band's self-titled debut. Headon—something of a 'journeyman' drummer—originally planned to have only a brief stay with the band, to establish a reputation and then move on.

Tensions rose between Headon and his fellow bandmembers due to his growing heroin addiction. Eventually it began affecting his drumming so much that the band gave him an ultimatum: kick the habit or be kicked out. Topper was unable to give up drugs and left the band on 10 May 1982, at the beginning of the Combat Rock tour. The band covered up the real reason for Headon's departure, claiming it was due to exhaustion.

After Headon's departure the Clash re-hired original drummer Terry Chimes for the tour.
