D-A-I B-A-C-H Those were our pub quiz champs last night at CC Slaughter’s on Memorial Day. Folks came in talking about camping, wood smoke and good beer…not to mention the dictionaries that they had been scrounging through all day in hopes of winning last night’s big pot that rolled over from last week. We had [...]

How do you spell Memorial day win?
Voleur 5.22.09
The racing theme was a fairly popular one for Voleur last night – regular teams stayed home, but several new teams came out to make a name for themselves. One of those teams was Death Race, who managed to come from second and take first from Rat Race by a clever betting strategy. Another was [...]
A Photo Finish at The Bogey’s 500! Bogey’s 5/21/09
It was a great night for racing out in the Gresh last night as we had our three professional teams playing the quiz. It looked like ‘Bogey’s’ was going to run away with it as they lead through the every round up until final round… ‘Kenshuggie Derby’ closed the gap with the handouts coming into [...]
A Woman Walks into a Bar… (Belmont Inn)
True story. A woman named Julie walks into a bar — tonight at The Belmont Inn, no less — and puts three dollars on the table. She says, “I’d like to play Pub Quiz.” A team snaps her up as a player, and not two hours later, they all walk out champs for the night. [...]
Imagine my surprise
When I showed up at Maiden to find that EVERYONE except for “Dolly Parton is the answer” forgot about Wednesday night’s quiz. So, Dolly Parton WINS! As for the rest of you? I waited for your sorry butts. The Maiden needs you to come back next week folks. I know the sun is all sunny [...]
We Gave Enough Shit Away Last Night to Choke a Horse!! The Thirsty Lion 5/20/09
What a great night of Pub Quizzing we had last evening down at the ol’ Thirsty Lion! It was awesome to have a pot back over $200… Now that’s what I’m talking about!! Not only did we have some serious cash on the line, we also had our Thirsty Lion Trivia Challenge where the bar [...]
Just like in a feel-good football movie
The longshot comes in first place and the crowd goes wild! This week team “The Longshots” did just that – coming in first for the first time since I’ve been in Hood River ( if I remember right), and they got their round of applause. The team has been in 4th place (hence their regular [...]
Sirens in the air
Of course we had Sirens going, it was our RACE theme, and so it was entirely apropos that THE Sirens’ of Titan kicked all your asses last night at the Bridgeport quiz. They did so let me remind you, without the help of one of the founding members of the team, they were a little [...]
Man pronouncing stuff is HARD
Wih-cheetah? Oh duh, Wichita. Horse & Hound people caught me on that one. Heh. When yer reading something intently (out loud) you sometimes apparently don’t recognize shit you SHOULD recognize, like a town you’ve heard before (aforementioned Wichita). And then there’s stuff like we had tonight. Coprolite. Asif Ali Zardari. Temporal Fenestra. Modest Mussorgsky. That’s [...]
A Grand New Adventure!! Grand Central 5/19/09
Well it was our inaugural Pub Quiz last night at Grand Central Bowling in the SE and it was… let’s just say it’s a work in progress. I would really like to thank the teams who showed up, ‘The Big Yellow Joint’ and we even had a ‘Beige Food’ siting who came with a great [...]
