Get Out the Protection...

Finally, I get some pics to post... hopefully this is enough to satisfy the hoards of people (HA!) that visit this site.


The two infamous NMZY2K pics that graced our 2000 info page...


Co-captain Nat (left) and sexy Voodoo Doll thief Molly.


Sarah, in all her sklunty glory.


A portion of Matt's cell phone bill for the month of February.


Woo! All hail the high-point book of the year! For 160 points, just who was the first janitor at SCSU? (Well, then it was SCNS...)


Keri, Michael, Sarah, and the Famous First Book. Notice the rather stylish NMZ shirt that Keri is sporting...


Joel being a stud at the award ceremony.


Yes, that's us with the Voodoo Doll on the cover of the University Chronicle. Click here for a larger version.


And speaking of the Voodoo Doll, here's some of the actual straw. This particular bit is pinned to Matt's bulletin board as a trophy for all to see. ;)

T2Kaos? Hardly. It was the third year of the Neo- Maxi Zoomdweebies that the team finally clicked. No longer a start-up team, other Trivia people started to see us as a viable contender. Half the team in their second year of college, and a diverse group of new recruits were brought in. Besides a couple college buddies, defectors from other teams, and siblings joined up.

You stole a what?

Ask anyone from the 2000 Neo-Maxi Zoomdweebies what they remember the most, and they'll tell you it's the voodoo doll. While showing her girlfriend TJ around town, Molly came upon the Voodoo Doll's headquarters by chance. After a brief moment of
debate, dancing, and giggling, TJ said, "You mean we're gonna jack it?" Six people piled into Molly's Cavalier and yanked the doll from its display in the Voodoo Doll's front yard. The doll was taken to the basement and cursed, then proudly waved at the award ceremonies and returned to its owners.

Yes, the shenenigans never ceased. The valentines in question were an extension of the previous year's altered candy hearts, and the most controversial of them was the one addressed to "Naked". Four of the female Neo-Maxi Zoomdweebies had flashed a Poloroid camera as a gift for the phone bank volunteer. Sadly, it was later discovered that the valentines were never received, due to regulations about teams contacting phone bank volunteers.

"What's-his-ass (Joel) and his hot sauce that made my eyes burn! And Molly bringing her scary gf. And the valentines we made for the phone
people with pictures of Kayleen's naked breasts on them. And the voodoo doll. And challenging the SPAM team to make SPAM cheescake for the people at the station."

This year also signified a changing of the guard for the Zoomdweebies. No longer a member of the team due to other activities, Owen was unable to make his famous pizza. The duty was not taken up until the next year. Jacob, playing long-distance from Indiana, was replaced in person by his younger sister.

Perhaps the largest change was that of leadership. One of the primary reasons that the Linnell sisters were the captains was because it was their house, their rules, and they organized
it. Chandra was in her senior year at Apollo High School, and the next
year she would join her sister at the University of Minnesota. The Linnells, unable to organize the team from a distance and no longer able to use the house, saw their last year as the team's leadership.
