You know, if the democrats really wanted to drive home the point of government excess, they’d point out that only a republican president (George HW Bush) has allowed Cher to record a music video on a US Navy aircraft carrier. Talk about government excess. Just watch the video (if you can… my eyes started burning [...]

Soylent Green Cereal — That Familiar That Everyone Loves™. Ah we had a rip-roaring time at the Belmont last night. Why? Well because everyone loves cereal, do they not? If I had to pick my favorite of all time, it would have to be Cap’n Crunch, so it was fitting that the last question of [...]

It’s kind of culty, isn’t it? I mean, you all gather every week, drink the kool aid, and bet berated by a man with a microphone who seems to have all the answers — right? Well, kneel before Zod, nerdos, because we had another great night at Portland’s wildest trivia night. Five teams ended up [...]

Oh glorious day! Friday’s always a lovely one because we get the great big hangover from Belmont Thursdays. $2 wells, micros up the wazoo and lots of kickass happy hour deals. Last night, around a dozen teams turned out to play, and we had a great time. Our computer theme quiz had all the nerds [...]

Hello quizzeeeees! What a pennywise and pound foolish we night we had at the Belmont last evening, when we packed the place full of players and drained the shelves of all its booze. It was a great night for quizzing, and we had about 14 teams in the house trying for the big ol’ top [...]

Creepy crawl nasty business at Portland’s toughest — and now scariest — pub quiz. I mean look at the decor! DIS-GUS-TING! Disgustingly AWESOME. But the competition on Thursday was even scarier — eleven teams duking it out among $2 well drinks and a mind-bending amount of beers on tap. I also bought some pitchers for [...]

If you haven’t been following baseball, or specifically the Red Sox, lately, then you might not have heard that the Red Sox pitching staff drinks more during games than most college fraternities. And one of the biggest beer-ballers among them is ace Josh Beckett. So last night, at about ten-till-quiz, consider me gobsmacked when the [...]

I saw him save a box full of kittens once, and all the heroism and whatnottery bloodied his nose, and it was green. It was a really good time last night at Belmont!  I subbed in for John, who was able to make it to the place after the quiz started.  After round one was [...]

Congratulations to the Wildcatters for their first place win last night! It was a very competitive evening, so the ‘grats are well deserved.  For example, second place went to not one, but two different tie-breaker questions!  In the end, team “Get Your Hands Off Me You Damn Dirty Ape” emerged triumphant!  They celebrated with monkey-like [...]

Action, excitement, beer and liquor! That’s a Thursday night at the Belmont Inn, for you. We rocked the house with FIFTEEN teams, a clear sign that the summer is over and Portland is ready to get back to quizzing! The Challenge Round was full up with five powerhouse teams on Thursday, too. The Wildcatters, fresh [...]
