So the first thing I ever had to eat at the venue was their Tillamook Cheese Fondue.  Because, you know, Tillamook Cheese Fondue! I basically have gotten that, and only that, for a year.  It’s amazing with a pretzel with no salt.  Mostly because pretzels with salt are gross to me. Last night I got a [...]

I think it hit 97 or so yesterday.  That’s hot.  It was still 92 degrees at 7pm when we kicked off the quiz.  Thank goodness for Thirsty Lion’s air conditioning! In case you were wondering what The League was, here you go (not safe for work – it’s pg-13, but they push the limits!).  And [...]

For some reason, Thundercats just popped into my head.  So I went with it. Gorgeous night at Thirsty Lion yesterday – the sun was out and it wasn’t overwhelmingly hot, and the place was packed with people hungry for trivia! I myself was a bit under the weather, but chemicals in the form of cold-fighting [...]

” ‘…that with it thou mayest blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.’ ” The “in thy mercy” part makes me laugh every time It was a beautiful evening to take trivia to the British Isles and back!  The hot Summer days have turned into absolutely gorgeous nights lately, and it’s reminding me [...]

It’s on Netflix, and some episodes are on Hulu – with all the episodes available on Hulu Plus, if you are into that sort of thing. But yes!  Watch Firefly!  It’s a brilliant and fun show about what life in space would be like if you were just trying to survive from job to job. [...]

… Sometimes you aren’t sure if it’s his art, or someone copying his art, or someone making fun of his art: Weeeeeird! Congratulations to team July 22nd for their first place win last night at The Thirsty Lion! They were strong the whole night, being in first or second from round to round, and ended [...]

The special effects of the 80′s music video scene were just SPECTACULAR!  ;) Congratulations to team Anagram This! for their win last night at The Thirsty Lion Pub in Portland! Winna Winna Chicken dinna!  They bet zero points, hoping for a doozie of a final question, and were correct!  It was super ninja of them, and [...]

The more the merrier? Alright, beer with salmon might not work that well.  And maybe white wine with a bratwurst might be a bit off.  But I saw one thing last night at Thirsty Lion that would go well with a glass of wine AND a beer – I think they called it their new [...]

Congratulations to team Not Real Doctors?? for their first place prize last night at the Thirsty Lion.  They are on a roll of winnings!  They even tied for the monthly standings prize with Anagram This!  The humble winners, pasting themselves with the cash: Nicely Done peeps! In second place, Anagram This!  With third place, team [...]

One hundred fifty nine people.  Phew!  The Thirsty Lion was at capacity, and we only had to turn away one team.  35 was our max, and they came over to sign up too late.  Apologies to the team, but there’s only so much you can physically put inside a building: It’s a bit hard to [...]
