She sells seashells by the seashore in Sellwood

March 11th, 2010 at 10:52 pm » Comments (0)

Thank GOD no one used that name this week.  I struggled enough with seamen and poop decks and finally at the Sellwood, with “Long hard and full of seamen” I can’t help it with the damn tired old braces, the lisps just slip out.  Just like the seamen.  (When the water gets rough and tumble) [...]



Slippery Seamen 60. So hard to say, so easy to swallow

It was a boat load of fun last night at the Bridgeport Brewery and thankfully, no mutiny as the teams were in good spirits even after the  top team shuffle up in our final  due to our handout about shark identificaiton.  A whole page full of beautiful, colorful shark. A few teams knew ALL the [...]

Last night we had some young’uns visit us from the mighty Michigan, and stop by CC Slaughter’s on their tour of Portland.  Why trivia on Monday night at CC Slaughter’s you ask? Well that my friends would be becasue the great Chuck Palahniuk mentions CC Slaughter’s in his book titled “Fugitives and Refugees: A Walk [...]

What exactly *is* Oscar holding?

I’ll give you a hint, it’s not film. It’s not rocks, and yes, it does have something that comes out of the end, if you squeeze it just right.  You be the judge.  The boys on the bar team down at CC Slaughter’s know.  They painted this guy gold for tonight and gave him something [...]



My Mother makes an appearance (Sellwood Public House)

February 24th, 2010 at 11:36 pm » Comments (1)

The question: “Who plays with bigger balls: a squash player or a racquetball player?” and thus, the Mother loving madness began at the Sellwood.  We had “Your Mom” for everything from big balls to metal bands.  Though, honestly, if my Mother had to show up at a quiz, HAIR is a good week for her [...]



This is the dawning of…

Yep, you all seem to know how to finish that line.  I think the pictures speak for themselves about your love of hair.  Take a look at what some of the teams were sporting.

Scooby’s Red Mullet showed up with this fine do sporter, wearing her curls up in a lovely scarf.  She did seem [...]



*This* is a peel. And *this* is big hair.

February 23rd, 2010 at 10:57 pm » Comments (0)

Though many of you identified it as the “Big ass spatula” or the “Trident” and other random things, it is indeed a peel.  I’m sad to report that when I sent a bartender out across the street to the pizza place, he returned with the knowledge from the staff that it was indeed a “Big [...]

She didn’t win at the Sellwood tonight, but man, when I got home, there she was racing down that mountain, on that sad little maimed shin of hers. Woosh! Down that hill, past the places where the other and into first place she went.  Wtg Lindsay Vonn.  So glad that stinky cheese worked out for [...]
