That’s what flavor Twinkies used to be filled with….did you know that? I didn’t, until last night. Tuesday nights at Portsmouth Pub are always fun and random. Last night was no exception. We had a few of the usual teams and welcomed the newbies. Everyone enjoyed Bingo and did pretty well. ‘The Ornery Pirates’ gained [...]

Who is in the lead anyway?? Biddy McGraws 7/15/08
Good night last night at Biddy’s… we had some teams we haven’t seen in a while like ‘Borg 9′ and we had the good old regulars. After some corrections on the anagrams handout… I apologize again… and yes the writer has been talked to … We got rolling into the fun quizlinks round… We had [...]
Non-commercial?
Sadly, there were no commercials or trivia or any pub quizzing happening last night at CC Slaughters. Except for the lovely KC and Dani, everyone else must have been out enjoying the sun, on vacation or washing their hair… Thanks to Bruce, Ira and Jeremy for helping me scramble to get the sound up and [...]
A little quiet on the Western front
After a gangbuster crowd last week with our “new” old friends at the Parkway Station, it was decidely a little smaller. We still managed to have some fun. It was a pretty tough quiz, especially round 2. Thanks to all the teams for hanging in there and keeping up good spirits! Wonder Woman and Company [...]
Hear me roar!!! Bogey’s 7/10/08
There was a lot of roaring last night out at Bogey’s… although it was mostly about the tough second round… but once again the $5 burger, fries and brew special was in effect and it sedated most folks so I could escape… although I also had one so I wasn’t moving that fast either!! I [...]
I Love Women
Ooh la la what a wild, wonderful night of wild, wonderful, weird women at the Belmont Inn. I mean the quiz itself of course. The female pub quizzers were relatively tame. I was hoping someone would come in a Wonder Woman costume or maybe a Susan B. Anthony getup (I left mine at home so [...]
Too doggone hot at the Horse and Hound! 7.9.08
How I have longed to be justified to use the word “doggone.” In this case, I have an actual hot dog: The steadfast Pub Quizzers out at the House and Hound paid no heed to their whiny, sweaty Quiz Master and took their quiz outside. My refreshing revenge was watching everyone try to decipher “I [...]
Hell Hath No Fury…
Fortunately, the only fury on Tuesday night at Portsmouth Pub was the brain power and the competition. We had a pretty good crowd. The game was definitely on. Lots of people brought in their pics of strong women in their lives. It was interesting to see them all and hear the stories. Lots of bonus [...]
99 Pub Quizzers on the wall… 99 Pub quizzers… you take one down… pass it around… Thirsty Lion 7/9/08
What an incredible night at The Thirsty Lion!! We had 99 people playing the quiz… WOW!! It was definitely the biggest quiz that I’ve had the pleasure of Quizmastering. And a great crowd at that. Everyone was patient as I had to run in the back and print off some more copies of everything as [...]
What’s all the whiff-whaff?
Just a bit of whiff-whaff at the Bridgeport. Smaller crowd than usual (I suppose it is that vacation-y time of year). But those of us that were there had a good time, methinks. It was fun to hear your stories about the excellent women in your lives and to see some of them in the [...]
