Bottom Feeders 2018-19: Just So You Know, They Really Suck

That's unbelievably generous. Please tell me it's decaf Maxwell House.

Who was the famous actor that did not get the male voice part that said "Honey, that was a great cup of coffee?" in the old Maxwell House TV commercial?

RPI 2, UML 1...

Regardless of what Flaggy thinks, RPI will probably drop out of the top (bottom) 10 with this one. An unlikely sweep would move them to the bubble.

The gas stations of Cloudcroft were all put in a hat, with the food supplier for the "NoWinS" determined by a blind draw.

The loser...er, 'winner'...is Allsup's Convenience, a 24 hour gas and snack stop famous for their toxic Bean and Beef Burritos. Per the request of the tournament committee, the items for the NoWinS have already been set aside to ensure they get nice and spoiled by December 21.

You're just ON IT! The Committee has allotted $10 extra to give Allsup's if they throw in some of these burritos.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Excellent try. But, it was Harrison Ford who ad libbed the line as a joke in the breakfast table scene in the film Witness. The Australian director knew nothing about the TV commercial nor Ford's rejection for the part, but loved the line, and kept it in.

There will be a shakeup come December. RPI will have to return to their woeful ways to stay in the top 6.

This week's trivia question is opined by Marty the Cat, MWO mascot at the summit of Mount Washington, NH, location once again for the NE regional. Which site is the higher elevation, the summit parking lot at Mount Washington, orrrrrr ....... the rink at the SW regional in Cloudcroft, NM?

I've actually been to Cloudcroft, NM. Excellent choice on the committee's part. I believe nearby is a solar observatory that was suddenly invaded by the FBI, all the people removed and the place sealed last summer. So be prepared for possible change of plans.

EDIT: oops, make that the Northern Winter Solstice (NoWinS) classic, NOT the SW regional at Cloudcroft, for which Marty the 🐱 is still waiting for an answer to the altitude trivia question.

I'm not one to upset Marty, so here's your answer.

8668ft - Cloudcroft, NM
6288ft - Mt. Washington, NH

So the NoWinS...wins.

Yes! And, by a lot, about 2400 ft, as the upper parking lot at Mount Washington is at least 20 ft vertical below the summit.

That's good, the four teams will have to battle against altitude sickness too. Cloudcroft is looking like a real winner...er, loser.

Will be even worse on the ice than watching from the nose bleeds seats at the old Boston Gahden!.
