Ever look around a Pub Quiz and wonder why there aren’t more 22 year olds pounding down fruity cocktails and padding the pot? The answer is easy: It’s easier to score in a World Cup Final than it is at bar trivia. Sorry Egon Spengler, but chicks aren’t interested in the size of your epididymitis. But not for Bat Boy! Man does Bat Boy get some ass…
No one knew this — until now — but Bat Boy LIVES in the Belmont Inn! No, really! It’s not widely reported, because he’s actually one of the surly regulars who’d rather the Pub Quiz quiet down and not run late. But he’s there, every Thursday — just look up. (Or, if you’re in the bathroom, DON’T look up!)
This week though, it was bit of science non-fiction making the headlines: Soylent Green beat out some of Pub Quiz’s toughest competitors to claim the BIG first place prize. I’m not 100% certain, but this might’ve been the first time Soylent has won the night’s top honors, but even if it’s their first, I’m not surprised. Soylent has quietly climbed the ranks of Pub Quiz’s Most Dangerous Teams in recent months, scrapping their way into the Challenge Round several times. And get this — they are a quad of just three people! That, my friends, is some brains! Brains!? Braaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinss… Oh wait, wrong Charlton Heston movie.
Soylent Green is people — too fast people, at that. I was unable to snap their winning photo this week. So instead, here’s a picture of what their team t-shirt should look like:
Move over Beige Food! Looks like consumables now come in a NEW color! Beige took home third place honors on the evening. “Get Your Ass to Mars” Got their ass back to the Belmont — and they came in second. Well played!
And now for the BELMONT STEAK STANDINGS! The calendar is playing tricks with us this season — there’s FOURTEEN WEEKS in this season’s competition. Combine that with the summer being a time that teams tend to to be a little lax in their weekly attendance — and that means that teams have a better chance than ever to win. Here’s how the scored look through the first three weeks:
1 Beige Food 10
2 Soylent Green 6
3 No Mouth Monkeys 5
4 Can You Smell the Stank? 4
5 Crazed Sex Poodle 3
6 Get Your Ass to Mars 3
7 Pop Tart Assassins 2
8 Team C Average 2
9 Scienticians 2
10 Team Wolverine 2
That’s all for this week. Be sure to hit up my FACEBOOK PAGE or my TWITTER FEED which I will actually start using soon, I swear! Until then, be well, play hard and try to remember everything you can!
