Well, we had one in the house last night — alright, maybe not a real Marine Biologist, but we did have one heck of a Shark Week fan on “Them Dirty Rats.” They managed to score a full 100 percent on the Shark-themed handout, but alas, it wasn’t enough to vault them into the Challenge [...]

Alright people. I’ve been running Pub Quizzes for round about a year now, and those of you who play with me know that I don’t go for this kind of pandering for points. “Can I get Bonus Points for getting my friend named Oscar to play the quiz?” NO. “Can I get Bonus Points for [...]

If I had to guess who this mustache belonged to, hands down it would be Bill Paxton. I hear this is how he rocks his personal hygiene when away from the stage and the screen. Really, look at those eyes. This guy is a dead ringer, even with the handlebar soup strainer!
Other than our awesome [...]

Gotta love the infinite wisdom that is “The Simpsons.” The headline to this post is my new response every time I flub up a question. (That won’t get old, right? I mean… I won’t have to say it a lot, right?) And for those of you who doubted that Arnold Schwartzenegger was the President in [...]

Remember those old, terrible Coors Light commercials by Kid Rock… “and TWINS!” Well, the Coors Light gals (NOT pictured above) were in the house last night, spreading their magical cheer between rounds by raffling off a whole bunch of Trailblazer tickets. God love ‘em, because they really helped move the night along.
And you know who [...]

Hey gang — I’ve gotta keep it brief this week, since I’ve spent all my time processing the GREAT photos that “Stumbling Drunks” Nathan took of the night. Couldn’t have picked a better day for photos either — Shanahan’s proved its popularity as a Pub Quiz venue this Tuesday, piling in its biggest crowd yet!
But [...]

And that, my friends (the title of this post), was pretty much the winning impression of a character for our LOST-themed Pub Quiz in Vancouver last night. The crowd was split down the middle with a great mix of LOST fans and lost people, making for an interesting night for all who stopped in. But [...]

Last night in Vancouver, what started as a mild-mannered Pub Quiz, ended up as an every-team-for-itself free-for-all. It was a perfect storm of masterful quizzery, incredibly adept playing, great questions, and the first ever implementation of The Shanahan’s Streakies. Before I break it down, I should point out that last night was the first time [...]

Ah, what a great time at Shanahan’s last night — you know you’re starting the night off right when you’re getting a Charlie Sheen question. Okay, it was more of a Two and a Half Men question, but still, a great night nonetheless.
And what makes Shanahan’s so fun isn’t that we’ve got this huge room [...]

A fun new game went into effect last night at Shanahan’s in Vancouver — The Shanahan’s Streakies! Here’s how it works:
1. Teams get 5 bonus points (called Streaky Points) for each consecutive week they play. So, once you’ve played two weeks in a row, you’ll have amassed 10 points!
2. Streaky Points can be played to [...]
