Well it all started with a little $11 second place win, THEN they rolled that to the next week, where they won $12 in second place. Tonight it happened, for the first time since John M was bartending on Monday nights (now he’s a player!) the BAR TEAM WON! They roll $44 big ones into [...]

Bar team on a roll…a $44 roll to be exact.
Anybody Seen my Baby? Parkway Station 1.15.09
Actually, I don’t have a baby – I have a cat. I’ve often considered having a second. Babies are interesting to look at, though. And everyone seems to know one. There must be some kind of draw to having a baby. I’m going assume at least part of that draw is taking pictures of the [...]
I think that’s by the Tourettes….
bahahahahaaha……That was a direct quote from Team Chopper when trying to identify who sings Be My Baby….which is by the Ronettes…but that was effin hysterical!! Thursday nights at Voleur are turning out to be the place to be…let’s keep our fingers crossed. We had 5 teams made up of 20 people….which is growth of 4 [...]
Roller Coaster
Holy Lord my pub quizzing week has been like the stock market as of late: An unpredictable roller coaster. Subbing for Quizmaster Dave at Biddy’s on Tuesday, I encountered a ridiculous 75 people and 15 teams. Then, all fired up from that successful (and by successful I mean free of chaos) evening, I rolled into [...]
There are giant light up Reindeer on the way to Gresham
I have made it boys and girls. I have survived a full week of quizzes. Granted, that’s only 4 quizzes. But 4 quizzes, that, my friends is a full on week of work. I’ve dealt with everything pertaining to quizzing this week. It’s always fun and interesting to either start up a new venue, or [...]
Discombobulation
Tonight was an uphill slog for me, and I apologize to the four teams who showed up for my incompetence. Less people and less teams, while not nearly as exciting as LOTS of people and LOTS of teams, should make for an easier night from a quizmaster’s perspective. Less grading to do, smaller crowd of [...]
Hood River is awesomes
Was a great night of beer and burgers last night… and of course some trivia goodness! The barteam slightly changed their name to British Bulldog Puppies for the Baby theme this week, and we had a quartet of ladies who deemed themselves “Chronic Active Aphrodities” which I got a kick out of. A team I [...]
Thirsty Lions and Top Guns
Damn, if they are LUCKY AS HELL maybe they would get some awesome beer from the ones on tap at the Thirsty Lion downtown. They have quite a collection. What a great quiz we had tonight at the Lion, it was a blast to fill in for Dave, I like the Lion, I’d hang my [...]
Brewery Bid-ness
We got SPRUNGGG at the Bridgeport. Like our asses were HUGE. We got so SPRUNNNGG in fact that we found it difficult to get out the door. Good night at the Bridgeport, the quiz was tight this week. I liked it. I like tight quizzes. I enjoy the ones that go SWHOOSH without and issue [...]
Murderous Babies
Wooee ride me high. Subbing for the venerable Dave Walker tonight, and Biddy’s greeted me with 15 teams and 73 enthusiastic pub quizzers, just itchin’ to answer questions about babies. Saw plenty of baby pics but unlike normal people who don’t have cold black hearts, I’m not generally very impressed with babies. They’re fine and [...]
