But not really.
Awesome crowd in the stifling heat yesterday – thanks for coming out peeps! Congrats to team Woot Woot for the win!
Not everyone can get a woot woot, apparently. But here is the team that did indeed get a Woot Woot:
Congrats! They were the team to beat all night – getting the bingo, keeping [...]
They talk about Pilgrim feet and “halcyon skies”. I really do believe stoicly now that schoolchildren everywhere stop after the first verse for a reason: the rest of it reads like bad poetry. ”Amber waves of grain” has a nice ring to it. ”Above the enameled plain” does not. Oh well, it’s our anthem, 100% [...]
But not if you are easily offended. And don’t see it with anyone easily offended. In fact, on second thought, don’t go see it on my recommendation. You might come back angry. It really is the funniest movie ever, but also the most offensive movie I’ve ever seen. So, you know, completely awesome.
Huge night at [...]
Million, billion, trillion… zillion? Yeah sure, why not?
Math is hard.
A beautiful night at Shmizza – for any regular teams that read the blog we had 4 brand new teams join us! They had a good time and we should see some of them back for trivia, beer, and a slice! Nice.
Congratulations to The Couch Hazards [...]
It’s so crazy looking! Thank goodness for Beer Whores, who dressed up for the Tim Burton theme.
If I’m honest, I just wanted to somehow justify saying “Thank goodness for Beer Whores”. Awesome.
In first place last night @ Parkway Station, on a streak of two wins in a row, Geeks United:
WIDMER! Didn’t notice that when I [...]
It was super packed at the Thirsty Lion last night! The pot was nigh $200 AND I saw some familiar faces! There was ateam that knew me from when I ran the quiz at the Night Light in Portland, and a gal who knew me from my time working for the Hillsboro Argus also showed [...]
There are so many good Tim Burton movies out there! It took a Pub Quiz theme of all things Tim Burton for me to remember that. Sweeney Todd, Big Fish, Ed Wood, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Beetle Juice. Of course, we sweep his mistakes under the rug: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the later, awful Batman [...]
Does anyone else feel like a vampire just for living in Oregon? For realz, it’s some Stephenie Meyer-Charlaine Harris-Laurell K. Hamilton-Patricia Briggs-Kelly Armstrong type of shit! Wow, between my mother, sister, and friend Jenn harping on vampires I know a LOT of horror authors. I met Laurell K. Hamilton once. Well, actually I interrupted her [...]
A special thanks to Emily from pdx.fm for handing out crazy flavored lollipops at the Thirsty Lion last night! She took the Justin Beiber joke with good humor, which Polly knew would happen. Emily is just awesome like that.
We powered past technical problems and ended up having a great quiz! Someone needs to stop Cattle [...]
Between Game 6 of the NBA Finals and 25 quizzers, that place was FULL. Like, we-had-to-move-tables-around full! It only made it a more awesome night of trivia though! By the way, that School of Rock Jack Black audio clip reminded me of my favorite Jack Black skit. If you haven’t seen him as Spiderman, you’re [...]
