A Modern Day Classic (Shanahan’s)

February 8th, 2012 at 10:51 am » Comments (0)

You know, sometimes I ask myself, “If Snooki can write a book, why can’t I?” And then I realize that I don’t have the chops. The bangs. The artificial tan. The glue-on nails. The fake eyelashes. The backing of a major media conglomerate who is trying to make every penny it can from my fleeting, [...]



Who’s the real JPP? (Belmont Inn)

February 5th, 2012 at 10:45 am » Comments (0)

The makers of this sweatshirt should be expecting a call from my lawyers. Not cool, G-Men. Not cool. Yes, it’s Superbowl Sunday, and yes I’m a little delayed in posting the blog. Sorry folks! Much like you, I’m up to my armpits in buffalo wings, and it’s a little hard to type with these cheeto-crusted [...]



Sister Act 2: Electric Boogaloo (Space Room)

February 2nd, 2012 at 2:43 pm » Comments (0)

I’ll be honest… I don’t even know what’s going on in that picture. But I’m just going to leave it there, and let it burn into your computer monitor. WOAH NELLY, did we have another packed house of awesome quizzers last night at the Hottest Quiz on Hawthorne. We had asses in every chair, and [...]



That Old Black Magic (Shanahan’s)

February 2nd, 2012 at 2:29 pm » Comments (0)

Who made all the crowds magically appear at Shanahan’s these past two weeks? Maybe it was Gob, but it wasn’t a trick — A trick is something a whore does for money…. Or cocaine! But the crowds held up at the Tuesday Tussle, Vancouver’s only Pub Quiz — maybe they were after Shanahan’s take of [...]



A Quintillion of Quizzers (Belmont Inn)

January 27th, 2012 at 10:07 am » Comments (1)

QUESTION: 1. A “one” followed by 18 zeroes is known as a WHAT? A. Quadrillion; B. Quintillion; C. Septillion; D. Octillion. ANSWER: That’s how many people we packed into Belmont last night. (also, B. Quintillion) That image, by the way, is 1 quintillion pennies. See the little flecks at the bottom right? That’s The Empire [...]



Phil Collins, You Freak Me Out (Space Room)

January 26th, 2012 at 1:58 pm » Comments (0)

So that’s a strange Phil Collins picture. And if it was an isolated incident, I probably wouldn’t even bring it up except for the fact that we (okay I) made fun of Phil a lot in our 80s Themed quiz last night. But then I found this: We’ve got two now! It’s an epidemic! Phil [...]



The dream of the 80s is alive in Vancouvria (Shanahan’s)

January 25th, 2012 at 5:55 pm » Comments (0)

Oh man, did we have a rocking’ 80′s-themed quiz in Vancouver, or what!? It really shouldn’t be all that surprising — the dream of the 80′s is still alive in Vancouvria, anyway… right comrades? We had a PACKED house full of new teams and veteran quizzers alike. It wasn’t just the 80s theme that pulled [...]



America’s Lowest Point (Belmont Inn)

January 20th, 2012 at 1:50 pm » Comments (0)

Question: What is the lowest point in America? Answer: Kirstie Alley… wait… no… Death Valley! They rhyme, and Kirstie was the answer to the previous question — you can see how I’d get confused. In fact, confusion reigned supreme at The Belmont last night, as I made my triumphant return to the Thursday Throwdown. First [...]



Marion Barry — Is there anything he can’t do? (Space Room)

January 19th, 2012 at 11:55 am » Comments (0)

It’s always great when we get a question about crazy political corruption at pub quiz, because you never know what kind of answer the crowd will give you. Did Barry get busted with drugs? Yup. Cocaine, specifically? Yup. Crack cocaine, actually? Uhuh. And were there prostitutes involved? YOU BETCHA! Sadly, our night at Hawthorne’s hottest [...]



We’re Just Getting Sharted… (Shanahan’s)

January 18th, 2012 at 12:30 pm » Comments (0)

The above image is the only one I could find on themed with the title of today’s post that wasn’t disgusting or terrible. But the fact is, there was some discussion of sharting at last night’s quiz, and I couldn’t just gloss over it. But that ickiness aside, we had a great night at Shanahan’s [...]
