Confession time: I am a Vegetarian who loves red meat. Scoff if you must, but I believe it’s important to not be the high and mighty jerk who tries to get you to “save the cows” and what not. I do not eat red meat. But I once did and I loved it. Can you [...]

It would be great, wouldn’t it? C-List celebrities riffing on the Spanish-American War, the Kinetoscope, and the new fangled automobile… Reality Show has-beens would scoff at the hilarity of the Klondike Gold Rush… Antics would, of course, ensue. One can only dream. At the rate that VH1  pulls those shows out of it’s proverbial behind, [...]

Spelling Bees are a perfect way to prove to your sixth grade teacher that you actually have made good on that oft referred “potential”. Especially when your spelling prowess leads to a stack of crumpled bills and a couple gift certificates Hal’s… On second thought, that sounds a little dirty. Please over look any sort [...]

So now that Lost is done, Tuesdays are open right? I would say that after last nights full crowd at Hal’s, all is not “Lost”….Groooannnnnn… Anyways, it was one hell of a quiz last night, with a bunch of new teams playing. Hal’s home team was coming off a two week winning streak, but alas, [...]

One would be hard pressed to come up with a better theme for Hal’s than one that involves booze. Hal’s quizzers aren’t just professionally minded people…they are professional drinkers as well. Many might think that this is an insult, but I disagree. If you are the best in the world at something, regardless of the [...]

I guess if they can have Christmas in April, we can have Halloween in May. Or at least Horror themes.

Newcomers to our quiz “Team Irish” and “Crew Jones and the [...]

Oh, let’s party, you say? Well, indeed we did. Intellect style. After a pretty empty week last week, the Hal’s crowd proved once again that they are some of the smartest (or at least well above most averages) Quizzers on the planet.  (Note: none of these claims have been tested by the FDA or the [...]

Sometimes the impossible becomes possible. That sounds like a really terrible motivational poster, doesn’t it? Well, it’s nothing short of the truth in regards to what happen Tuesday night at Hal’s. After an amazing show of brain warfare last week, “Clown Baby” showed up with the big guns (the mental version of course) blazing and [...]

Were you at Hal’s last night? If you were, you were in step with the theme of the quiz, “indie”, in that you were super freaking hip, so hip that you are up there with Pavement’s third album and the reemergence of the hula hoop. Clown Baby had a mighty strong night of winning, having [...]

Well folks, sometimes hell does freeze over! After putting up a good fight the past few weeks, the home team bar staff at Hal’s won the belt of pub quiz awesomeness, staving off a late round resurgence from “The House of Ill Repute”, a team who stands to make a few bucks in the future [...]
