Yes, this is April Fools Day, but I hope you all know this is all lighthearted fun. Otherwise, it's just to give you a little smile before the deluge of ICT, TRASHionals, etc. ---- Because of the utter frustration of not having enough players on the Duke team this year at various competitions, we have entered an agreement with the Mount Olive Pickle Company to create bobblehead dolls of our favorite quiz bowl players from past and present to fill in for our missing team members at tournaments in the near future. We are taking this idea to the marketplace as a fundraiser which we think would be a great little gift for all those graduating and retiring team members. Imagine playing alongside Matt Weiner. Well, you can with the Weiner bobblehead doll, which is guaranteed to pick up at least 80 points per game. We also have vintage models of famous players of the recent past and far past. Each Bobblehead is made of an ecologically safe, flame-retarding foam so that if you get frustrated, you can rip off the Bobblehead's head and throw it across the room whenever it negs (Anthony). That means you cannot actually incinerate the Andy Goss bobblehead, no matter how hard you try. Consider it a way to address team anger management. Certain bobbleheads are sure to be hits and collectors items (the Jason Keller bobblehead comes with a fluorescent day-glo orange suit!). A small number of bobbleheads can also read 2 tossups and 2 bonuses per minute (the Ahmed and the R) and could even run your tournaments for you! Act now... limited supplies are available. We are only selling around 50 copies of each personality for $50 each, but we're sure you can resell them on EBay for a whole lot more. One-year warranty and a certificate of authenticity enclosed with each Bobblehead. Special orders can be accommodated, but there will be a setup fee and a minimum number of 50 dolls must be made. For the first 10 people who take advantage of this offer, they can purchase a Chip Beall Bobblehead for half-price! This very limited edition doll doesn't have a head that really bobbles, but it also spins 360 degrees, just like on the old Maryland AQT web site. :)
