We are ARE YOU STUPID who are you?

Why that name?
TTFKADS - The Team Formerly Known As De Schwuchtibus, elaborating why we had to change the name would lead to rambling, basically someone didn¹t find it as funny as we did. Briefly tried "Geht Jo Um Nix" (as in "it's not a big deal"), then settled for "Are You Stupid" - mind you I'm not sure if it's Austrian English for "Bist Du Teppert!!" (as in "Blimey!") or just our battlecry in the faces of all the well-read students, geeks and native speakers...

Quiz highlight

when we finally knew all 10 answers in the Connections Round (Opel), when we scored more points than Beezleboss, when we came in 5th (!!) last week....when Spritzi knew all Looney Tunes characters in the Anagram Round, my personal one must be when the correct answer was Carter USM or when I knew correct answers from song lyrics (Hirohito >> Iggy Pop, Milhouse Nixon >> The Clash), when Caro was waiting all night for the question for the name of the teenager who got shot in Athens...

Quiz Rival
The others. Everyone. No-one (weil: geht jo um nix). The quizmaster when he tortures us with cricket questions and all the things "normal" people like us just don't know...

Team History

Lilli brought us here in August on her birthday. Philipp, Spritzi, Caro, Chris and some others used to play Scrabble every Tuesday before then. Lilli's sister and Elli used to work together. Caro used to work with Philipp and Spritzi. As did Martin. Moni and Gerd were a couple years ago. Chris and Gerd used to be flatmates. Chris and Elli are kinda best friends (although we don't call it that). Andi and Elli have known each other since 1983 (yes, we are that old). Babsi and Andi kinda work together. She and Chris met at the springfestival and became "special friends". As did Andi and Moni who lives around the corner from where Babsi works. Kathrin moved to Graz because of Gerd two years ago. Lilli saved Elli this summer. Norman left Germany years ago but still doesn't speak our language, it's pathetic. Elli, Andi, Chris, Philipp, Lilli and Babsi are all part of the springfestival crew.

Yes, Graz is a village and we're one big happy family.
