Other Teams Advancing Today…

My “field correspondents” tell me that other teams advancing in today’s Sporcle Live semifinals in Michigan were What The Shibboleth (big fucking surprise), Your Resume Sucks, Tanooki Suits, Gold Team Rules, Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, Goats and Kids, Moby Grape and the Moops. In my semifinal, More Beer Less Pants, Lady Business and One is the Loneliest Number all won tournament spots.

Good luck to *some* of these teams next weekend! In fact, good luck to all but ONE of these teams (wink-wink)!

Since the semifinal games are probably over, here are the two final questions:

4 Best Supporting Actor birth countries since ’05 not including US or UK.

My bar’s final:

Pinetop Perkins is the oldest Grammy Award winner of all time, doing so at the age of 97. Name one of the next two oldest Grammy winners, both of whom won within the last 30 years and did so for non-musical albums in the same category.

Our first question was, “Who is Pinetop Perkins?” With the second being, “What did he win the Grammy Award for?” We speculated (in a crude manner) about how he got the nickname “Pinetop.” Was it because his pubes resembled pine cones? Mysteries abound!

We wagered zero (and prayed hard that other teams would miss), and wound up putting Audrey Hepburn as our answer. She won a Grammy Award in 1993 shortly before she died (at age 63) for best spoken word album, which made her an EGOT winner before she died. I say spoken word albums are kind of “phoning it in,” but what the Hell do I know? Also, I HATED the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But still respect Audrey Hepburn. She did some bad-ass shit during World War 2 or something…
