You guys might love the 2000s, but I love the “I Love the 2000s” week! What an incredible three nights of quizzing we had this week. Each night produced stunning results, round after round, but more amazing than anything else were the PEEP SHOWS!
The one above is the mad creation of Team Shanahan, a perfect peep re-enactment of the time Dave yelled out an answer in the middle of the quiz. Notice the green-painted walls — that’s the same paint they used on the walls of the bar! The best touch, however, has to be the projection TV screen behind me. It’s showing Chewbacca throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park! Check out all the great peep picks on my Facebook page at this link.
But as for the actual quiz, Tuesday’s battle in Vancouver was challenging as always — but it took the final wager for That’s What She Said to pull off a victory at Shanahan’s.
On Wednesday at The Space Room, a team of two, early-twenties girls, PantiChrist, shocked the room when they pulled off an unbelievable Name That Tune performance (they admitted they were 13 when all the songs came out, so that’s how they knew them all) which they parlayed into a first-place finish.
At the Belmont Inn’s Thursday Throwdown, another team of youngins pounded on the older, wiser, competition when Kim and the Jong Ills wagered wisely to take down some of the best quizzers in Portland, Challenge Round stalwarts like the Wildcatters and Team C Average.
These dramatic finishes might go down as season makers or season breakers in the weekly standings. Check out the scores below and see where you’re at!

Each season, on the Solstices and the Equinoxes, Quizmaster JPP’s venues (Shanahan’s Pub and Grill in Vancouver, The Space Room Lounge on Hawthorne, and at The Belmont Inn on Belmont) break into their own in-house competitions, augmenting the weekly Pub Quiz fare with quarterly standings competitions to prove who is the best of the bunch.
The spoils are a mix of gift certificates, treats, and an entire season of tributes paid to you by your peers. The rules are quite simple, and can be found here.
The trash talking is a bit more complex, and can be found here.
