Nobody Summons Megatron!

But a team named "Nobody Summons Megatron!" dominated Wonderland's pub trivia last night. Libertarians like Dave Weigel, Megan McCardle, and Julian Sanchez may never agree with Brian Beutler and me about the minimum wage, but we can all agree on kicking Alex Pareene's ass.

"Nobody Summons Megatron!" call me crazy, but i think that is a line from a quest in World of warcraft. I recall it because i did that quest last night! lol

I think it's orginally from the Transformers movie, which makes it genuine trivia, because that movie is a trivial piece in every respect.

This reminds me: the Michael Bay Transformers movie is going to suck so very, very hard.

Megatron Rejuvenate! Used in a Dr. Octagon song, I think.

My favorite pub team name for a lowly crew I myself was on was "Vernon Maxwell's Silver Hammer."

Nobody summons Megatron? Then it pleases me to be the first.

It's good to know that some people haven't forgotten how awesome that movie was.

How many other movies had Orson Welles, Leonard Nimoy and Eric Idle in them, with Weird Al Yankovic working on the soundtrack?

It was a strange and sometimes unbelievably campy movie, but there was some real talent behind it.

None, thankfully.

Come on Chris, you can't be forgetting music by Stan Bush in that lineup! And as to cast you've got Judd Nelson, John Moschitta (Micro Machines guy), and Robert Stack! Yeah, looking back it's, shall we say, less than perfect, but I can't make myself not love it. Also, it will forever be the movie in which half of my toys died and where Spike swore.

"Vernon Maxwell's Silver Hammer."

Except that his name was Maxwell Edison (he majored in medicine) . . .

Yes, but last night the world-renowned Bears once again won the trivia contest at Ventnor's. One of these weeks we're crossing 16th St and coming to expand our empire.
