2009 Ends With a Three-Way TIE!!!

December 31st, 2009 at 12:48 pm » Comments (0)

What a night, what a game, what a way to end out the year. Last night at the Big Time Brewing Company things seemed a little slow, it was 6:45pm and not one team has signed up. But like an army walking out of the mist, we found ourselves four equally matched teams all dying [...]

John Travolta may believe in alien souls inhabiting our bodies, but he was right about those summer nights. It’s about this time of year I wish we were in the southern hemisphere.
Last night’s competition was a turbulent one with the standings changing after every round. Team ‘Happy New Beers’ lead for the entire night with [...]

The question is “Where will the team Keep your Jazz hands off me drop ALL THE CASH in the final round?” It was Missouri. (That’s where they were “waiting for Guffman” apparently) I’ve never seen that film. Let the lashing begin. Keep your Jazz hands off me had the lead from Bingo [...]

It was a nice day, the sun was out, but due to the heavy snows the night before, the road out to Hood River (via I-84) from Portland really S-U-C-K-E-D. It just so happened I had to be on Mt. Hood around 2pm that day. After 3 hours in the car, and after [...]

A team from the Voleur came [...]
