File this under “Information I wish I had last week.” This little illustration (click on it for a huge sized one) explains a whole bunch of memes that are floating around the interwebz. After watching every team take a brutal beating at the last Thursday Throwdown, I’m considering getting this printed on handkerchiefs so you [...]

First off, thank you to all the people this past week who didn’t come to Pub Quiz dressed like Animal. I slept great this weekend, and I think it’s because of folks like you. Good people who don’t dress like this freak above. Secondly, in an effort to stretch your Muppet mania into the future, [...]

Oh Belmont I can’t understand it — why you want to hurt me? After all the questions I’ve asked for you. Things about gumby and Eddie Murphy, you know, your favorite singer Still you quiz all night What am I to do? BELMONT WANTS TO PARTY ALL THE TIME, PARTY ALL THE TIME, PARTY ALL [...]

So, every week, I scour the interwebs for funny pictures that relate to the quiz. (This week was the lovely Sugar Tits question.) Which brings me to this thought: Do you think Mel Gibson has ever used the Internet? You might find this shocking — I did — but there’s a LOT of crazy pictures [...]

Seinfeld week came to a close at a rousing Belmont Inn Thursday Throwdown. This is good news for some, less than good for others.

Just imagine that giant hand coming for your face. Now imagine where else that hand has been! Oh, Randy… Want to know some [...]

Alright, to be clear, Shanahan’s is not usually the place we’d talk about exploding manholes. (That’d be Joystick Joe’s Jerk Chicken Menagerie, down the street.) But on Tuesday, in addition to Bieber Fever, the city of Vancouver had Manhole Mania, too. Yes, we were swamped with dirty words on Tuesday’s Pub Quiz — dirty words, [...]

Ever look around a Pub Quiz and wonder why there aren’t more 22 year olds pounding down fruity cocktails and padding the pot? The answer is easy: It’s easier to score in a World Cup Final than it is at bar trivia. Sorry Egon Spengler, but chicks aren’t interested in the size of your epididymitis. [...]

Fireworks were flying at Belmont Inn’s weekly Thursday Throwdown — and some new blood made its way into the top spots! Our America-themed quiz brought out some of the most star-spangled quizzees Portland has ever seen — it looked like a scene right outta St. Louis down on the South East side… We hit the [...]
