Wow, what a topsy-turvey Oscar-themed quiz we had at the Belmont last night. First off, we had just enough people to make the 5-team final round, THEN, we had some old friends return for their first quiz in years, and finally, we had some great handouts right before the Challenge Round that totally upended the [...]

… NO FUTURE! And yes, the balloting is still open, and yes, it’s official, but look at that! That’s a GOLDEN TROLL RIDING A GOLDEN MY LITTLE PONY. My iPhone camera was unable to capture the rainbow that the pony was farting out as well. Incredible!
Speaking of incredible — Sparging the Mash had an [...]

Alright people. I’ve been running Pub Quizzes for round about a year now, and those of you who play with me know that I don’t go for this kind of pandering for points. “Can I get Bonus Points for getting my friend named Oscar to play the quiz?” NO. “Can I get Bonus Points for [...]

What a hairy night we had at the Belmont yesterday, eh comrades? We had questions about former Soviet Russia, eh? We had questions about merkins, eh? And we had a most entertaining handout where I got to kick it, gangsta rap style, eh? Miraculously no one asked who’s down with jpp, because I’ll be honest, [...]

I have to admit, when I saw the Bonus Points for this week in the Weekly Email Newsletter, I had my doubts that anyone would try to pull off the Georgian Rococo Style ‘do. And I have to admit, I felt a little awkward about signing up “Team No Future” who already tend to have [...]

If I had to guess who this mustache belonged to, hands down it would be Bill Paxton. I hear this is how he rocks his personal hygiene when away from the stage and the screen. Really, look at those eyes. This guy is a dead ringer, even with the handlebar soup strainer!
Other than our awesome [...]

When people ask me who the worst American president was, as they are wont to do, I unequivocally answer Harrison Ford. Sure, William Henry Harrison only spent 30 FULL days in office, and yeah, Nixon was (kinda, sorta) a crook, oh, and W. … well… I’ll stop there. But Harrison Ford was the most disappointing [...]

So last night was nice, right? I asked questions. Quizzers gave answers. We had fun!
“Spoonful of Millard Fillmore” played well all night long. “Sparging the Mash” got a perfect score on the presidential portrait handout! “Clarification, [...]

Gotta love the infinite wisdom that is “The Simpsons.” The headline to this post is my new response every time I flub up a question. (That won’t get old, right? I mean… I won’t have to say it a lot, right?) And for those of you who doubted that Arnold Schwartzenegger was the President in [...]

Oh my fellow Belmontians… how you heckle my French annunciation, how you defy my repeated requests to bring up your handouts, how you pay to play Pub Quiz with a pocketful of nickels and dimes… you’d think that I’d hate you by now (and maybe when I ask particularly hard questions, you become certain that [...]
