So last Thursday, we had an interesting exchange at the ol’ Pub Quiz. First, of course, there was the question about the 1976 pornographic version of “Alice in Wonderland,” and oh how did the pub quizzers enjoy that. Then, there was a question about “Into the Woods,” which I thought was a story, but was [...]

Porno for Princesses (Belmont Inn)
Just The 61 Of Us (Space Room)
What a night at the Space Room last Wednesday — so jam-packed with adventure and Pub Quizzery that I’m just now getting to write about it. The ‘Fairy Tale’ theme brought out teams of all stripes and colors, all competing for the Space Room’s biggest pot ever — which means it also had the largest [...]
Voleur 8.28.09
Last night was clearly a night of tied scores. Throughout the game there were ties all over the board. Going into the final round, there was a tie for second, almost a tie for third, and a tie for – uh – last. But what might have been nerve-wracking for pubquizzers was really exciting to [...]
The Tale of David and The Lion. The Thirsty Lion 8/26/09
Once upon a time there was a little boy named David who ran and played in the forest all day with not a care in the world. One day on his wanderings he came across a huge Lion in a forest clearing… a Thirsty Lion as a matter of fact. He was scared because when [...]
Not all French guys are named Pierre! – Big Time Brewing Co 8/26

David Bowie really *is* the shit
It randomly came up during the course of the quiz tonight in Hood River. I don’t know why, but I’m compelled to agree.
Tonight three teams went home happy amidst 57 people in Hood River. Team Jeff Goldbloom took home top honors (and more importantly, top cash) with their wagering strategy – “Bet zero [...]
Biddy’s 8.25.2009
Biddy’s, how I will miss thee. Oh well, tis better to have quizzed and lost, than never to have quizzed at all… (I wonder if Schadenfreude is thinking that after last night?)
Terrible injustice reigned last night – or fairy tale justice perhaps – the youngest brother saved the princess, the smallest knight won the [...]

So Demitri Martin is funny
Seriously, check out his stuff sometime. He was on an episode of Conan recently, and Shaquille O’Neal was on right before him. So out comes Demitri on stilts, and he is actually looking *down* at Shaq when he shakes his hand. Then he sat on Conan’s desk and shimmied over to the [...]
Oh man Polly, you have 2 weeks of trash talking built up at CC’s!
Because I KNOW they were being nice to me. Oh, they gave me good natured shit, but I know it was like, trash-talk-lite. I made sure they would give you a good verbal battle when you got back. It just might be epic – I know you can handle it.
Last night Remarkable [...]
