A great night at the Belmont yesterday, am I right, nerdos? A big ol’ crowd came to see me off for the summer, and most of you made it into the challenge round. What excitement and amazement. C Average only needed to get into the Challenge Round to get win their umpteenth Belmont Steak Championship [...]

Quizbatical!!! (Belmont Inn)
The Schaucer Has Landed… (Space Room)
Another season comes to a close, and we have a new Space Room Saucer Champion! Schadenfreude scrapped their way past House of No Future last night to secure their very first Hawthorne title. It was a hard fought victory all season long, not just last night. But they muscled through an impressive crowd last night, [...]
Do people with RIM jobs get Blackberries? (Shanahan’s)
You have to admit, it’s an excellent question — and one I don’t have the answer to. I know, I know… you thought I had the answer to everything, but that’s just not the case. Sadly, I have to say The Stumbling Drunks seem to have all (or most) of the answers. Last night, they [...]
Sweaty Man Ass (Space Room)
Don’t you like how the candle is brown? Yes, we kicked off the hottest quiz on Hawthorne with one heck of a classy question about Yankee Candles for men. No, Sweaty Man Ass is not a real candle. Well, not YET. I’m thinking there’s millions to be made in that one! And though they didn’t [...]
Carson Daly Is a Massive Tool (Shanahan’s)
Well, maybe he isn’t. Really, I bet Carson is a very nice guy. It’s just that every time I see him, I think of the quote/meme/whatever, “Carson Daly is a massive tool.” Did he originally say that? Was it Jimmy Fallon? We need Snopes.com to get all over that. Anyway, the reason I bring it [...]
There is nothing funny about that (Belmont Inn)
So I just had a crippling Internet experience. You know how I like to pull together some funny pictures for my post? Well, here’s my secret. I google: “Funny” and then some other words. Like Elizabeth Berkeley. Like Showgirls Movie. Like Burlesque Movie. Nothing! Apparently these things are all so crappy, the Internets doesn’t even [...]
France: Home to Creepers and Peepers (Space Room)
Great goofily moogily, did we have a lot of France questions last night. But what do you expect when the theme is Creepshows and Peepshows. But the peeps at the Space Room last night were not at all creepy — a lovely bunch of coconuts rolled into Hawthorne’s hottest quiz. The challenge round shaped up [...]
If you don’t pay, is she a prostitute? (Shanahan’s)
You know, maybe I should pursue being a lawyer in my quiz sabbatical. Because I think I just found one heck of a loophole in this Secret Service scandal. I mean, if you don’t pay, are they *technically* prostitutes? I think they are just lovely, misunderstood women. There’s no need to call them prostitutes… especially [...]
I Am Amercia And So Can You (Belmont Inn)
Sadly, this week’s Amercian-themed… errr, SPELLING-themed quiz has come to end. Nothing lasts forever — except for truthiness! Truthiness endures all else. Last night, we had a cozy summer-esque quiz at the Belmont, with the creme de la creme of quizzers piling for Portland’s best pub quiz. Only three teams in the Challenge Round this [...]
Lots in Space (Space Room)
Oh man, this Romney app never gets old — not during Spelling Week! I didn’t take today’s image, but it is perfect for the Space Room Quiz, aka, the hottest quiz on Hawthorne! We had a whole bunch of letterheads in the house on Wednesday, each thinking they could cast a spell on the quiz. [...]
