Good to see all the smiling faces at Biddys on Tuesday. Despite the warm, slightly sunny weather, folks were happy to play the Sound of Music themed quiz at my favorite Irish drinking hole. Only one team managed to bring in the original Broadway recordings of the Sound of Music… on vinyl no less! Thanks, [...]

Castrated Uranus, as done by Katharine Hepburn
Hellooo again Biddys! It was sure a swell homecoming to come back to Biddys for the first time in years. Dave has graciously agreed to start up the Grand Central’s video quiz starting next week at 9pm, and because I have two little boys at home, staying out (potentially) past midnight on a school night [...]
Bloomin’ Tax Time!
Miss Quizmastress Polly took off to sunny Florida this past week, so I had the pleasure of hosting Bridgeport this past week for Death & Taxes week. Lots of folks filed their taxes like good Americans this year… and I met a lot of people who are afraid of tiny things like spiders, painted things [...]
Sad Day for Pub Quizzers – a Note From the Queen
As people quickly found out at this evening’s quizzes, we have had to change our format to avoid potential problems with the Oregon State Police Lottery Division. They state that three things define gambling: prize, consideration, and chance. The house can never win, for one thing, and I firmly believe that our game has always [...]
We are all on drugs at the Bridgeport
A fun quiz was had by all at our drug themed quiz. Lots of people came in reporting their most memorable drug movie (for bonus points) as being Trainspotting… specifically the dead baby part. Ew. That part really did stick out with me too. Ugh. New quizmaster-in-training Carly was in charge much of the evening. [...]
Return of the Queen
I’m BAAACK! Fresh off the plane from the land of the Queen (UK), as well as Paris & Amsterdam. It was a fantastic trip except for the daily rain we got in London the entire time we were there. The Radiohead concert on July 1 in Amsterdam ROCKED! We had perfect weather, and shot some [...]
What’s sweet in the middle but bitter on the outside?
It was a WONDERFULLY warm day at Thirsty Lion on Wednesday. The venue’s exterior wall is all doors, and each one was open, making it seem like the whole side of the building was missing and we were having the quiz outside! A very nice, warm evening to have a quiz! I have to admit [...]

Whoooooo are you, doot doot, doot doot!
Another terrific night at the Thirsty Lion! Gotta love those sliders. They work well with Guinness! Another Mother theme quiz, but no mommies in the audience, except proud owners of some cute little kitty cats. Bingo was a good round… but I think the big winner of the night was the “Who Am I?” Round, [...]
Good times at the Bridgeport
She’s BAAAAAACK at the Bridgeport! My first night back at my ol’ stompin’ ground was a good ‘un. I thought it was hilarious to arrive about 7pm, get out of my car, head to my hatchback to get my stuff, and look up to see 4-5 faces looking out of the windows of Bridgeport, as [...]
