I think that's a first for me, getting quoted twice in one question

[germankitty]

Weekly quotage stats: DWDQEU -- 17/48 (not bad, but surely we could do better, people?)

Also, we're ignoring the -1 from angledge, because the WTF should go to the Guinness Book of World Records which put them into their Hall of Fame!

And last but not least, congrats to b_hulsmans for almost-but-not-quite getting the Quotage full house, but had double quotage on the last question -- a first for the quiz, I think!

Oh, btw -- my home town used to hold the #2 spot in world-wide beer production behind Milwaukee, until some Japanese guys muscled in during the 70s. Hmph. (But ours is still among the best in Germany -- f**k you, Munich!) So yeah, I'm with crystalcazzie. Sorry, b_hulsmans!

[germankitty]

Pretty sure it's a first for the quiz! Go you! *high five*

[seekingferret]

Whew! I thought I'd completely whiffed... until I come down with the final answer of the quiz!

[angledge]

I can't remember us doing that before. That being said, I used to drink a lot so my memory is a bit patchy.

[chaosvizier]

We did it every so often, when the humorous outcome had merit. Then again, we did a lot of goofy stuff. We made up fake LJ handles just to provide wacky responses. Good times. ;)

[angledge]

Lol I remember doing that!

"Hans I want to PLAY the Quiz this week!"

"Go right ahead, my friend! You just need a different LJ-name for the week!"

Wait - did we really do that?

[angledge]

You posted the photo, you get the -1.

[angledge]

Getting in just under the wire! **high-five**

[captainsblog]

I can't believe I threw away my.... shot.

[b_hulsmans]

Thank you! *high five*

We also got the same answer to a question! *double high five*

[germankitty]

Well, duh. Great minds think alike, and all that. :-) *offers coffee*

[germankitty]

Hey, it wasn't even the grossest out there! *sulks*

[digitaldiscipline]

"McDonalds, because he was a Burgher King, and didn't want the competition." - [personal profile] digitaldiscipline

(You win the inaugural [personal profile] angledge 'Get a Medic!' Award for Extremely Painful Punnery, complete with -1. -EW)
(And my undying hatred. -AL)

You fools, now that I know your weakness, I shall be unstoppable.

[crystalcazzie]

Yeah, you can't have a European bar without beer! It's what a lot of our countries are known for! =D And while we're on the subject, we might need to recruit a French person to the team cos I need to expand the wine list...
