The 10th Ann B. Davis Popular Culture Tournament was held in the frozen tundra of the Modern Languages Building of the University of Michigan on 16 January 2005. The Life Gerbilic with Steve Zissou withstood a Patriots withdrawl, two preliminary losses and a drum circle to take home the title. The Bill O'Reilly Shower Massage: Now With Falafel Action took second, while Brock: The Fools on the Hill with import James Dinan and Barrett's Privateers finished tied for third. Complete standings, statistics and packet figures are available here: http://www.mikeburger.com/axd2005/2005AXD_standings.html Newly landed immigrant James Dinan was the individual scoring leader and took home this nugget ( http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:281054 ). Michael Davies was the second leading scorer and top player still in school, so he received a book that included everything you wanted to know about videogames (written in 1977). Rebecca Golden was the Title IX scoring leader, while Gordon Arsenoff was the neg king. For his efforts, he received a pair of pants that nobody claimed from lost-and-found from our high school tournament. The glorius neg award went to Erik Roth from Pitt, who had two gems: Bulletproof Monk for Ernest Goes to Camp and Stars Hollow, CT for Eerie, IN. Thanks go out to the people who gave up their Sunday to staff: Kevin Olmstead, Mitchell Szczepanczyk, Alexis Mansfield, Joel Skaistas, Doug O'Neill, Steve Zmyslowski and Mike from Ohio plus all of the wonderful players who helped us out by staffing on their byes. It was appreciated. Similarly, thanks to Charlie Steinhice, Ryan Blay, and Matt Bruce for spare questions, which are always appreciated, as well as to Asim Modi for getting the rooms, which you can't really run a tournament without.
