Heh. Very fun night at The Belmont Inn!  Had a couple of the aforementioned whiskeys, then went home and enjoyed the swiss burger I got to go.  Good burgers at Belmont.  Good whiskey too. To people who have not seen one or the other, both The Avengers and Cabin in the Woods are a great [...]

Ah, a sad day for the Beastie Boys, but last night, our question about Alice, aka Ann B. Davis, helped rock the party. We packed the house as usual at Portland’s best pub quiz with the Thursday Throwdown in full effect! The theme was Cinco de Mayo, in honor of the upcoming holiday, and we [...]

In my weekly “looking for funny images related to the theme quest, I remembered this classic 80s (90s?) comedy — Shakes the Clown. Looking at the tagline, I wonder, how was Bad Santa ever green lit — isn’t it just a blatant ripoff of this film, swapping Santa for the clown? Well, there were no [...]

Oh man, did we recycle some stuff last night! Paper! Cups! JOKES! Ahhh… the earth is much better off after all that nonsense, for sure. Another jam-packed bar this week at Portland’s best bar trivia. Week after week, nary a table is available as a bevy of regulars stuff this venue to the gills all [...]

You wouldn’t think that taxes would be a hot topic, but last night at the Belmont proved that wrong — competition is getting a little heated at Portland’s best bar trivia, and I can tell there’s going to be a heck of a fight for the Belmont Steak this season. It seems that some of [...]

I laughed till I cried last night — a lot of the Belmont quizzers can probably say that today. It was another wild one at Portland’s best pub quiz, and in the end, one team had the last laugh. It was a see-saw night for many teams, doing well in Round One, but getting crushed [...]

What a night at the Belmont Last night! Portland’s best pub quiz showed off their nerdiness like no other, busting at the seams with Trekkers and Trekkies alike, fighting over Tribbles, Klingons, and other things that happen to you when you’ve had too much beer. As usual, we had a big, BIG crowd, competing for [...]

No, no… I don’t mean that he’d hit Rachel McAdams (like that could ever happen!) — I meant that he’d be investigated for assault, like many quizzers answered at last night’s quiz. He couldn’t hit a beach ball with a tennis racket without falling over. I mean, did you see the latest Indiana Jones? Yeah, [...]

What a quiz at Portland’s wildest bar trivia. And it was a wild night indeed — we celebrated Liz’s birthday and my third quizaversary in epic form with 101 quizzers! An amazing turnout with room to spare. I was told that it wasn’t our biggest crowd ever, but it certainly was the largest bunch of [...]

Oh Belmont, where embarrassing answers means comedy always abounds! Last night, we had the question “What was the first X-rated film to win an oscar for Best Picture?” One team answered “Wild Orchid,” a staple of Cinemax late night 80′s pr0n. Yeah, great job guys. We know you watched it in scramble vision. We had [...]
