Trivia: Quantum Leap Day

Wed February 29 at 7:30 PM, Kelvin Arms
2424 Dunstan Rd, Houston, TX, USA (Map & Directions)
Previously: Last time, we won the second-place tiebreaker in sudden death. And quizmaster Scott is buying us a round this time for the win for best team name.
And so Dr. Metafilter finds himself leaping from trivia night to trivia night, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.
..Oh, wait, what? It's just Leap Day, not Quantum Leap Day? Guess we'll have to put the DVDs down and go out for trivia at the Kelvin Arms.
$225 later, my car is fixed. I'll be there, as will Laurie.

New rule for the Say When round!
In an effort to ensure that this round is not sabotaged by A. random douche fiddles at the bar yelling stop when they're not even playing, or, B. Teams trying to stifle their competition, we're instituting the following rule:
Any team that yells Stop and gets the answer wrong will receive negative 1 point. So yes, if you yell stop 8 times and are wrong, your team will get -8. In short, teams yelling stop must identify themselves to their Quizmaster. Otherwise, clues will continue to be read aloud.
Tonight's Themes Include:
Recently In Stuff
Boys & Girls
Say When: Play With My Balls
Don't Fear the Reaper
Pop Culture Math

Woohoo, second place, thanks to a late surge and judicious use of the joker.

Someone at another GWD night must have been thinking along the same lines as us with their team name: "Davy Jones' Locker Apparently Didn't Contain a Defibrillator".
