Wow, what a topsy-turvey Oscar-themed quiz we had at the Belmont last night. First off, we had just enough people to make the 5-team final round, THEN, we had some old friends return for their first quiz in years, and finally, we had some great handouts right before the Challenge Round that totally upended the [...]

What a hairy night we had at the Belmont yesterday, eh comrades? We had questions about former Soviet Russia, eh? We had questions about merkins, eh? And we had a most entertaining handout where I got to kick it, gangsta rap style, eh? Miraculously no one asked who’s down with jpp, because I’ll be honest, [...]

When people ask me who the worst American president was, as they are wont to do, I unequivocally answer Harrison Ford. Sure, William Henry Harrison only spent 30 FULL days in office, and yeah, Nixon was (kinda, sorta) a crook, oh, and W. … well… I’ll stop there. But Harrison Ford was the most disappointing [...]

Oh my fellow Belmontians… how you heckle my French annunciation, how you defy my repeated requests to bring up your handouts, how you pay to play Pub Quiz with a pocketful of nickels and dimes… you’d think that I’d hate you by now (and maybe when I ask particularly hard questions, you become certain that [...]

There are no lengths I won’t go to amuse you people, my fellow Belmontians (as long as it costs me under $5). That means buying an iPhone App to read questions, that means bringing in Quizmaster Polly and getting her drunk (she’s a cheap drunk), that means bringing you a cake to reward the teams [...]

Hey my fellow Belmontians — did anyone else feel like they were being watched last night? Perhaps like there were infidels among us? There were a LOT of new squads at Belmont last night, actually. I hope you were all nice to the newbies, and if you are a newbie — to paraphrase LOST’s Jack [...]

Am I going to walk around and rip your ——- Handouts up, in the middle of a PUB QUIZ? Then why the —- are you walking right through? Ah-da-da-dah, like this in the background. What the —- is it with you? What don’t you ——- understand? You got any ——- idea about, hey, it’s ——- [...]

There’s nothing worse than ending a night of hard-fought Pub Quizzing by having your dreams dashed by not knowing the Challenge Round question… in a category that you SHOULD know the answer to… on a topic you’re the #1 SUPER FAN of… with a question that 6 days a week you WOULD KNOW OTHERWISE. It’s [...]

Ah, what a night at the Belmont last night. What a LONG night, actually — so long, in fact, that I read out “Lord of the Rings” instead of “Lord of the Flies” as an answer. But what if I had read “Lord of the Fries”? Would someone have bought me a tasty order of [...]

There it is, in all it’s chew-toy glory, THE BELMONT STEAK!
The season-long competition to be named The Belmont Inn’s top Pub Quiz team came to a holly-jolly conclusion with the holiday-themed Pub Quiz last night. The team earning the top honors in the 13-week competition garnered themselves some great perks:
• First, and most important, the [...]
