Just sit right back…

Tuesdays at Biddy’s are getting crowded.
Rowdy.
Downright competitive.
And high stakes.
Weekly Pub Quiz regulars Clarification Please came away the big winners this week, drawing from a total pot of well over $100.  The evening was notable, though, in the amount of new teams  – and return teams.
The most crowded evening since QuizMaster Kevin began some weeks ago, [...]



Winner take ALL the spoils at HAL’S

4 teams.  1 Champion.  Winner take all.  (And no sappy acceptance speeches, either!)
That’s how it went Thursday night at Hal’s Tavern. Amidst a few rounds on the best shuffleboard table in the city, teams battled for all the marbles, and when it came down to it: no guts, no glory.  Gold Member had a small [...]



And the Oscar goes to…

First and foremost, I’d like to the thank the Academy… and God.
(Everyone seems to thank God, no?)
Who else – Loved ones? Co-stars? Financiers?
Yeah, all of them too.
But who does Tuesday night’s Biddy’s Pub Quiz champions, Green and White Army, have to thank?
I’d maybe start with a few of the other teams that came up just [...]



Tom Peterson Haircuts

March 2nd, 2010 at 12:51 pm » Comments (0)

In July 1986, Tom Peterson, the Portland retail sales icon, offered a free flattop haircut to anyone who attended the opening of his store at 82nd and Foster. Peterson hired three barbers to give haircuts on the floor of his showrooms. They gave about 50 haircuts the first day, and Peterson decided to make the [...]



It helps when you’re named “Sperling”

Schadenfreude had a slim lead heading into the Final Challenge Round, and they opted for the Category 1 – “I’m Not Only the President.”
In a “Hair” themed Pub Quiz night, well, it’s not hard to guess where that question is going…
And Schadenfreude was ready. And waiting. And excited.
To set the tone a bit, Schadenfreude wasn’t [...]

Pub Quizzers rejoice, a new happening Thursday night option awaits you!
Hal’s Tavern boasts the hands-down best shuffleboard table in the city, as well as a pool table, icy cold Sinister Black Ale (this Quiz Master’s personal favorite, as of late), Ninkasi IPA plus a number of other taps, a solid jukebox, friendly staff – and [...]



If I was President…

An old man told me, instead of spending billions on the war,
we can use some of that money, in the ghetto.
I know some so poor,when it rains that when they shower,
screaming “fight the power”.
- Wyclef Jean

Not that that quote has a whole lot to do to with this week’s Pub Quiz at Biddy’s, but it [...]



Brangelina’s Brood

Can you name them all?

I didn’t even know how many of them there actually were (6), just that there seems to be something particularly odd about a Hollywood power couple with nearly enough young kids to eventually field their own baseball team — and who look like they might have been plucked from the pages [...]



Super Wednesdays

Hanging Brain let it all hang out…

…and then got kicked right where it hurts in the Challenge Round, falling from dominance and glory all the way to the Pub Quiz cellar.
Six teams wrestled through the early rounds, but from the get-go Hanging Brain had a clear advantage. Sporting a Peyton Manning jersey for bonus points, [...]

1 – 0 – 0.
Just one point ended up the difference between first and third Tuesday night at Biddy’s. One point! One measly, little point. But oh, what a point it was.
That one point was, ironically enough, however, not held by The One. With a 35 point lead heading into the Challenge Round, The [...]
