And it was someone else’s at Bogey’s last night too! Oh how wonderful. Small crowd like always at Bogeys, but I like it, it let’s me get away with cracking more jokes, drinking more beer, and not fretting over grading millions of papers. Congratulations to Team Bogey’s for winning last night’s cartoon themed quiz, after [...]

Rocko’s Modern Life: My fave cartoon
Missin’ the Disney Afternoon
Woo-ee ride me high it was kind of a wild one tonight at the Belmont Inn. 81 peeps in the house vying for a nice lil’ pot of 243 smackers. Not too shabby! The Cartoon-themed quiz selected by you beautiful, sexy pub quizzers delivered on pretty much all accounts and we had an exciting final [...]
Horse and Hound Olympics. 8.27.08
After a week away, Hood River’s Pub Quizzers met with renewed vigor for the art and craft of quiz – eh – taking. They were surprised by the theme, the Olympics, because nobody could quite remember who had voted for that topic in the first place. Even though watching the Olympic arm wrestling competition makes [...]
Farewell, Team Hardcore!
Fun night at The Maiden. A bit quieter than the past couple of weeks, but fun! Nice mix of regulars and new faces. In the Bingo round, it looked like we had two Bingo winners, but after double checking, the Bingo went only to team Low Expectations. After Round 1, the over-achieving Urban Achievers took [...]
I Love Science… and That’s No Fiction! Biddy McGraw’s 8/26/08
Our Quizzer’s choice theme last night was one of my favorites, ‘Science Fiction’. I loved everyone scrambling to find a science fiction item in their possessions as part of our ‘Let’s make a deal’ style bonus point opportunity. I saw all kinds of cool sci-fi things including a business card for the International Bigfoot Society [...]
Pizza Contest Runner-Up Blues
Well after an initial struggle with the sound system (thanks to Pub Quiz Master-master Dave for helping me plug everything in over cell phone), things settled right down here at my substitute gig at the Portsmouth and we had a good ol’ time. Four teams showed up to duke it out for the magnificent $60 [...]
Back in action at The Green Dragon 8/25/08
After dealing with food poisoning most of last week… ugh… I was raring to get back into the QM saddle last night at The Green Dragon. We got started with a new style of bonus point question asking Quizzers if they knew who was going to star in ‘The New 90210′. The chorus of o [...]
Mary Kay, yes the cosmetics lady…
First woman on a US stamp? Mary Kay of the famed cosmetics. I appreciate your creativity Charo’s Angels. And with two birthday kids in the house (one more shout out to Jared and Meredith!) Fun night with the regulars The Streeps and Charo’s Angels at CC Slaughters. Television Before Reality seemed harder for some than [...]
Groovy Goolies
I love ghosts and all things scary. Well, I guess I should say I love creepy, eerie, paranormally scary things (wow, the spellchecker okays “paranormally”! That’s a new one. Though, it didn’t like “spellchecker.” HILARIOUS.), for I certainly don’t like global warming, John McCain, or weird, gross cysts. But I LOVES me some paranormal activity! [...]
Super Maiden
Another fun night at The Maiden. Not as hectic as last week with the huge birthday group, but a good size game for some paranormal action. The scores were fairly tight for the whole game. Except for Mostly Confused, who apparently likes to stay on top, the rest of the field shifted around every round. [...]
