JW's Trivia Q&A;: July 6

We had six teams in again at Josie Wood's for Wednesday Night Trivia, but it was a larger and even more enthusiastic crowd than last week.
I enjoy lots of banter with Mel, a Yankee fan, who joined us for Trivia. It was all good-natured and I hope he joins us again next week.
The winning team was Cross Him Off, This One's dead with 43 points, and it was a comfortable win. Second place went to Oversized Giant Brains with 34, and we had a tie for third between Antiquarks and The Blind Prostitutes: You Gotta Hand It To Us (who also won for best team name).
