Happy Thanksgiving from beautiful Seattle, WA! I’m up here, sitting at my parents’ desk, prepping to go stuff my face, just like I hope all of you are (sans the desk perhaps… perhaps you’re sitting on a couch, or in your car, or at a bar… anyway, wherever you are, please prepare to stuff your [...]

Fiery Turkey Day Spirit
Haha, Dave’s post title is awesome
Yeah, apparently there are all sorts of things that will open the eyes of the Thanksgiving shut-in. I can’t wait for more food surprises over the coming years. What could be better? Tonight Butterball bet big after being in the lead all night, but the tricky final question (which nobody got right!) caught them and [...]
A Turkey, stuffed with a duck, stuffed with a chicken which is also stuffed… WTF??!?! Biddy McGraw’s 11/25/08
Allright, apparently I’m out of the loop on this Turducken thing… and my mom’s from the south as well… I thought I had heard it all but this I have to try… if anyone is doing a turducken this year I’m begging you to tell me about it and how it’s done… I have already [...]
Penes…lol
…that’s the only other acceptable plural form of penis besides penises. LOL! Too funny! So, 2 teams meandered in at the last minute…totally 8 players. One team split up so that we had 3 teams. The bar manager gave her blessing…after seeing all the cute turkey hands! Yay! We are thankful for Cindy at Portsmouth [...]
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble SNOOD!
Great night at CC Slaughter’s tonight. We had a couple of new teams come in to play, and one of them WON! Team Awesome whom usually plays at the stinky ol Belmont Inn decided to drop by and play with us at Slaughter’s. They won some good money as well as first pick of the [...]
The Green Dragon’s Gone Rogue!! The Green Dragon 11/24/08
Well imagine my surprise when I get to the Green Dragon last night and learn that it has been sold to the Rouge Brewing Company!! WOW!! Well what a great night we had to show off the quiz as we had the lowest turnout ever at the Dragon due to the holiday week… nice… I [...]
Parkway Station 11.21.08
There is something about “Name that Tune” that makes for a good quiz. It might not seem fancy, but there is something inherently rewarding about tunneling to the depths of your brain to recall the name “Tom Waits.” I mean, really, how often does anyone think about Tom Waits? How often does an entire room [...]
The Improved Holland Gin Cock-Tail
Hmm, a very nice ‘n’ easy quiz tonight at the ol’ Belmont Inn, which was surprising considering people were trying out new cocktails for bonus points all night long… Thought there’d be some drunken shenanigans for sure considering the venue, but maybe the froo-froo drinks just don’t get the fires a-burnin’ quite like those sweet, [...]
I HATE Hangovers!! Thirsty Lion 11/19/08
Ugh… as I’m sitting writing this… my head is pounding and my stomach is a little queasy.. that’s what I get for hanging out at the Lion after the quiz and drinking!! I blame the enabling theme myself!! Of course drinking is our theme all week at the Pub Quiz and it was cool to [...]
Cartographers of America
Hey, nice lil’ quiz tonight. Some folks tried some drinks for the first time, and I think enjoyed some of the Maiden’s delicious specialty cocktails. The Yazi Drop, with Yazi ginger infused vodka shaken with muddled lemon and a sugared rim, was a popular choice, as was an interesting new one made with pepper infused [...]
