How dare you!? Firefly is RADICAL! (Shanahan’s)

May 16th, 2012 at 9:45 am » Comments (0)

I have one thing to say about Nathan Fillion after looking at this picture: That man is CLEARLY canadian. I mean, look at those FLAGS on his ROLLERBLADES! He definitely plays on the other side of the border. But if you were thinking that he was gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that — [...]



JPP SMAAAAAAAASHHH!!! (Shanahan’s)

Well, didn’t we have a lovely quiz at Shanahan’s last night. Mothers was the theme and everyone came in and ordered their food so politely. It was a mild-mannered crowd at the start, with everyone enjoying all manner of food items and beverages. Round One went well — some great, fun questions in there. And [...]



Everybody Plays the Fool (Shanahan’s)

I’d like to write this post in iambic pentameter, but truth be told, I can’t be arsed. It’s tough enough to write these blogs as it is sometimes, and having to stick to the rules of the writing road might drive me to drink my bottle of ink. Lovely time as always north of the [...]



I LOVE TRASH!!! (Shanahan’s)

Oh what a glorious Green-themed quiz we had last night in the Evergreen State hub of Vancouver. We reused, recycled, and uh… re-something’d a whole of of excitement. And then we did it again in Round 2. And then again with the handouts. And then again in the Challenge Round. At the end of the [...]



A Mixed Bag (Shanahan’s)

Aww, crap! Literally. Okay, not literally, but we had a great night last night with our Tax-Themed quiz and our “Bag of Crap” raffle. What was in the bag? Well, you had to be there to see it, but it was truly crappy. What was the bag of crap raffle? Well, Ryan of That’s What [...]



Where’s my laser beam Yearbook photo!? (Shanahan’s)

Oh wait, I never had one. My mom never let me pick that one (not that I can recall) and thank goodness. Sometimes adults can be killjoys, but those pictures did NOT age well. 90s was the theme last night, and it had Washingtonians crawling out of the woodwork (perhaps because downtown Vancouver looks like [...]



The Dane Cook of Quizzery? (Shanahan’s)

March 28th, 2012 at 3:58 pm » Comments (0)

We had a really interesting discussion about Dane Cook last night at quiz. It went something like this: JPP: “… Dane Cook…” EVERYONE: “HE SUCKS!” And while I’ve never been a fan of his frat boy stylings, he was involved in the best 10 minutes of TV I’ve seen in the last year. The episode [...]



Star Trek: Total Annihilation (Shanahan’s)

March 21st, 2012 at 5:48 pm » Comments (0)

I’m writing a screenplay based on last night’s debauchery at Shanahan’s. The plot looks like this: 46 quizzers walk into a bar and get blasted away by space cannons and laser blasters. Alright, so it needs some work, but so too do the lovelies who play up in Vancouver. Man, you guys got smoked like [...]



Playboy of the Western World (Shanahan’s)

If I have one regret from my days spent living in Ireland, it’s Patrick Duffy. Lemme splain. The Irish are known for their ‘gift of gab,’ but beyond that, they have a vicious sense of humor when it comes to us absurd Americans. And of all the incredible sights I saw when I was over [...]



Paul is Undead! (Shanahan’s)

Just look at the man! High collar, pale skin, obvious thirst for blood — Paul McCartney is a vampire. Maybe that explains how the fab four has dazzled kagillions of people. Because their music… eh, it’s alright. Pub Quiz at Shanahan’s though — totally groundbreaking. Amazing. It changes rock and roll forever. Bigger than Jesus. [...]
