It’s kind of culty, isn’t it? I mean, you all gather every week, drink the kool aid, and bet berated by a man with a microphone who seems to have all the answers — right? Well, kneel before Zod, nerdos, because we had another great night at Portland’s wildest trivia night. Five teams ended up [...]

The Cult of Pub Quiz (Belmont Inn)
Mommy Dearest (Space Room)
It’s kind of hard to believe that after roughly 12,434 quizzes I’ve run, this is the first time that we’ve ever asked a question about Mommy Dearest. I mean, that movie is SO FUNNY. We could ask about it on Comedy-themed quizzes, Mother’s Day-themed quizzes, and Dry Cleaning-themed quizzes. The questions practically write themselves. Alright, [...]
Be gone, Tolkeinites!
Aaaaaactually, they prefer to be called “Ringers.” That’s what we learned at Pub Quiz last night — it was our cult and cult classic themed quiz, and I can’t figure out which of those categories the Lord of the Rings fits into. I’m also going to say that I don’t so much care. Take that, [...]
Take that, Mark Zafferbert! (Belmont Inn)
Oh glorious day! Friday’s always a lovely one because we get the great big hangover from Belmont Thursdays. $2 wells, micros up the wazoo and lots of kickass happy hour deals. Last night, around a dozen teams turned out to play, and we had a great time. Our computer theme quiz had all the nerds [...]
That A-hole, Paul. (Space Room)
Well, that’s not the Paul I was talking about. My Paul, if I can even call him mine, came to quiz at Space Room on Wednesday, and man was he an a-hole. I kid… actually, he and his crew were a delightful bunch! They were there for a birthday party, and man did they have [...]
Have you seen Kim Kardashian’s Shake Weight Video? (Shanahan’s)
I heard it’s out there on the internet, and not very hard to find. I haven’t gone looking for it yet though. I imagine the above picture is a still from it (well, an animated still). But that’s not Kim Kardashian–that’s her sister Jan, or Wednesday, or uh… Not-Kim. I ask the question because it [...]
Aw hell! $2 wells! Thrifty, thrifty, thrifty… (Belmont Inn)
Hello quizzeeeees! What a pennywise and pound foolish we night we had at the Belmont last evening, when we packed the place full of players and drained the shelves of all its booze. It was a great night for quizzing, and we had about 14 teams in the house trying for the big ol’ top [...]
Why Philly Smells like… um… Money? (Space Room)
***¡MUY IMPORTANTE!*** Over the last few weeks, I accidentally gave the Shitty Beatles the Cupcakes standings points. This block post corrects that error. ¡Lo siento, mi compadres! ***/¡MUY IMPORTANTE!*** Oh man, oh man, oh man! A big ol’ packed house at the Space Room last night, and everyone was there for the thrifty-themed quiz and [...]
High-Wattage, Low Priced (Shanahan’s)
What a night at Shanahan’s this week! We had a HUGE cash prize since the house team won last week, and competition was fierce to get the more than $130 first place prize. Six teams were wrassling for the cash, and the thifty theme made it all the more competitive because these Vancouver folks know [...]
Dr. Who Cares? (Space Room)
Lots of Dr. Who questions on last night’s Space Room battle, and lots of teams in the house enjoying the stiff drinks and James’s tasty viddles. But I have to admit, I was lost in space — I’ve never seen an episode of Dr. Who in my life, and I don’t care to start watching [...]
