And too many uses of the ellipsis?… I can’t get over how good the food is at Thirsty Lion.  Cereally, it’s so good! A great night of Trivia was had Wednesday by all!  We had at least one new team enjoying themselves.  So much so that they actually won first place!  They didn’t know about bonus [...]



It’s killing me that no Indiana Jones movies are streaming online…

I’d even settle for Crystal Skull…  And that’s just sad. By the way, I blame George Lucas for any movie that should have been good, but turns out bad.  Crystal Skull was no exception.  Did you know that George Lucas wanted to title the movie “Indiana Jones and the Space Men”? He actually wanted that [...]

Five Bingos at once, bamf!  That’s a tie for the 5-way record I had at The Horse & Hound about 3 years ago.  Didn’t think it’d ever happen again, but it did. Congratulations to all 5 teams that got 4 bonus points for their bingo Also, congrats to team Buzzkill for their first place win [...]



I know people… that can’t stop watching Julie and Julia…

I swear that movie has hidden images that make viewers addicted to watch it over and over. It’s the same way with me and certain movies or TV shows.  The Shawshank Redemption – I watch that movie once every three months or so.  I watch Firefly episodes all the time.  I’ve begun rewatching things like [...]



Mmmmmm…. cheeseburger

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 [...]



The hottest day of the year?

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 [...]



Thirsty Lion Hooooo!

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 [...]



Just in case you wanted to watch Firefly:

August 18th, 2011 at 10:32 am » Comments (0)

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. [...]



Andy Warhol’s got some weird stuff…

… 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 [...]
