In the words of Bill (or was it Ted?): WHOA! In researching our Time Travel themed quiz for this week, our writers and researchers must’ve stepped on a butterfly that caused a change reaction so unbelievable that it changed the course of history, because something INCREDIBLE happened on Tuesday: TEAM SHANAHAN’S WON! Oh, I’m kidding [...]

Ah, Rasputin, you lovable scamp. They shot you, beat you, poisoned you, but still couldn’t finish you off. It wasn’t until they drowned you — and then threw you in a poison lake where you tried to scratch your way through the ice, said The Lemon Party — that they finally cut you down. Well [...]

All business. That’s how we rolled at Shanahan’s last night. Well… not exactly. In fact, there was a LOT of goofing off. It seems that I leave for one week and you all forgot how to behave! Next week, I’m bringing a ruler and wrapping some knuckles. But really, we had a blast. It was [...]

In the words of Adam Sandler, “Peeing your pants is the coolest.” In the (paraphrased) words of Don Draper, “Not cool, Freddy. Not cool.” I’m going with the ad man on this one. But on Tuesday, most teams went with Freddy — whizzing themselves all night long in the face of our Mad Men themed [...]

Mistake were made on Tuesday at Shanahan’s… but it was on purpose! Yes indeed, that was our “Oops, I F*#%ed Up,” theme quiz in action people, chalk full off errors. No… not really, in fact, we had a pretty whoopsie-free night, considering we asked great questions about famous screw ups. A quaint little crowd rolled [...]

To every season, turn, turn, turn, there is a new Shanahan’s Harp Champion, turn, turn, turn… That’s right folks, the longest ever Harp season ended last night (14 WEEKS!?) and we have a new champ. That’s What She Said won the Cuisine-themed quiz in Vancouver to recapture the Harp back From the Stumbling Drunks. Impressive [...]

Dear Game of Thrones Nerds, Piss off. Love, QMJPP For reals! Why do I HAVE TO read the book? It’s better? Well, it ought to be — it’s LONGER! Come on now, you don’t have to read the book. You can just enjoy the TV show — that is possible. I mean, sometimes just rolling [...]

Well the big day arrived to elect another 6 year term of Bonus Points to office, and voters poured into Shanahans to make their mark. Six teams were on hand not just to decide the future of their game, but also to outquiz, outsmart, and outlast each other. And what a night we had. Round [...]

I could litter this blog post with all sorts of British slang — but I won’t. I could talk about the Sex Pistols — but lord knows that I won’t go there! Instead I’ll talk about the kickass night of quiz we had in that familiar-yet-foreign faraway land we call Vancouver, Washington. (They drive on [...]

You know, it’s really cool to put a hop-scotch court in your house, but you have to think these things through in advance. It really depends on your decor, but I wouldn’t necessarily call this a home “improvement.” But some of the ladies who love them some hop scotch might disagree. I’ll point out that [...]
