BRIDGEPORT! We had a nice FAT Tuesday game. About Oscars. I totally spaced that this was indeed Fat Tuesday. I think I ate enough carbs today to complement the term “Fat Tuesday” so we’ll just leave it at that. Nice night at the Bridgeport. I truly think that Bridgeport is becoming home to the Pub [...]

Quizmasters Dave and Wendy showed up this week to play as a team at CC Slaughter’s. They held their own, and even made it to the top three teams at the end. Of course, as is the Quizmaster style, they blew it, but they did place in the top three! Well done! You never know [...]

And their Oscar WAS the biggest in the room. And that’s what matters, right? We had some excellent team names this week, including: The Irey Einsteins; And The Winner Is; The Gaffer Heads, The Lady G and her party of One; That’s What She Said; and Cut Me Mic-E Rourke (Rocky Quote + The Wrestler [...]

…Was grunge, according to the team that had that as their name! I lol’d. The big winners this week were a team calling themselves “The Shitty Beatles” (Wayne’s World reference anyone?). They were new in town, fresh from the Bridgeport, and played strong all night long! All the regular teams gave them a hearty clap [...]

Zoiks another huge night at Belmont’s Inn as 110 folks somehow managed to pack their gigantic drunken brains into the bar for some hot grunge action. Newbie John Pullen was in the house, helping me out and he did a fine job calling out rounds one and two, particularly the Name That Tune round. Never [...]

Is that teen spirit I smell? Nope, it’s a new venue!! Yay for new venues!! I started my Thursday evenings with Captain Ron’s last night. It took some time to wade thru the cords and connections of their PA system. After some testing, it wasn’t going to be a loud enough system so I went [...]

Voleur was packed tonight! Pubquizzers cannot resist the draw of amazing french fries and grunge music, evidently. No matter the reason, we ended up with ten teams this week. Hooray! Anyway, I know that its the ever-popular 90s music gets everyone excited – although I would posit that all “Name That Tune” rounds are exciting. [...]

Or is it Courtney Love’s Hole? Either way, this cleverly-named team took the top spot this week in Hood River! The grunge week was a blast at the Horse & Hound – new faces and familiar mugs teaming up, people’s mom’s in from out of town, people staying over for a weekend of skiing. It [...]

…And so concludes our grungy week of grungy grunge here at Pub Quiz USA. Me, I was a bigtime nerd during the Era of Grunge, wasting my flannel-wearing time listening to showtunes and Aerosmith—a combination I wouldn’t recommend to anyone, though one I also still have a guilty affinity for (except for the Aerosmith). Hell, [...]

Those were the answers I got in reference to the religion that forbids followers to never cut their hair and to carry ceremonial swords. I got a kick out of those answers. Sheiks?? LOL!! Almost half the peeps came out in their Doc Martens to commemorate the Grunge era. Although I think only 1 person [...]
