  - Not to mention they wouldn't get the chance to gloat and claim superiority to the rest of the bar. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 06:55 1
    - I dunno, walking out with the prize money while the game continues is a pretty good "EFF Y'ALL!" -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 06:56
  - *shrug* The games end approaching late so getting out 15 minutes earlier is fine. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 06:55

    - Agreed. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 12, 06:42 5
      - At some point, someone's gotta get a hit. 9 runs in 4 games should not be enough to get to a game 5. This isn't 1968. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 06:45 4

- I woulda gotten that one. Duncan's the easy one for me. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 06:28 2
  - jeebus. -- nm - Diva, LCM, Must Have Money Oct 12, 06:43 1
    - Magic woulda been the one I woulda have questioned with Worthy and Kareem and Michael Cooper....figure some of those guys woulda stolen a few MVPs. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 06:46

    - This is why I play BuzzTime rather than the -- nm - mara Oct 12, 06:53 1
      - person-led trivia. -- nm - mara Oct 12, 06:53

      - it's what happens. -- nm - Diva, LCM, Must Have Money Oct 12, 06:18
      - remember NTN (was is NTN?) - the trivia game that you had individual controls for, and you played in bars from questions on the tv screen and you - Andie Oct 12, 06:18 10
        
        That's what Buzztime is now. -- nm - mara Oct 12, 06:55 1

        we had it at a few independent pubs around town. i guess it could still be there, - Andie Oct 12, 06:20
        
        it doesn't exist anymore? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 12, 06:18 1
        
        i haven't seen it in years, but it could, i guess. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 06:19
