BEHOLD! The Space Room Saucer! On Wednesday, the inaugural Space Room Saucer Standings came to an action-packed conclusion, with FOUR teams in the hunt for the season’s top honors. The team who won the 13-week competition earned themselves some pretty out-of-this-world perks: • First, and most important, the top team will have its name inscribed [...]



We’re Going Streaking! (Shanahans)

December 18th, 2009 at 8:10 am » Comments (0)

Alright, maybe not THAT kind of streaking but with two wins in a row, “They Fucking Rock” have Shanahan’s first ever winning streak on their hands. They did it with moxie, too, answering questions, singing Christmas Carols, and bagging bonus points by bringing in tons of canned food for the Oregon Food Bank. And they [...]



Drunken Caroling – does it get any better?

December 17th, 2009 at 5:26 pm » Comments (0)

The answer is YES. You simply add drunken dance moves. Though the team who danced with beers at their table stoicly denied any drunkeness! They were first timers calling themselves “Better Than You”, which of course was bad luck. I chatted with them after the gig and I can attest that they are standup peeps [...]

…Are the first words Frosty the Snowman would exclaim when the children put the magic hat on his head and he came to life. Frosty is wrong most of time, but last night by blind dumb luck he was right. Happy birthday to Latima who’s team, appropriately named, ‘Happy Birthday Tima’ had a grand time [...]

Tonight was by far the most fun I’ve had at the Sellwood, and sadly, it will also be my last. I’m off to other assignments after the first of the year. However we had a blast, with our quiz staying competitive to the very end. Jingle Ballz and their nemesis The Jingle Ball Crushers battled [...]

Well, one more Pub Quiz is now in the books before we head off on our various holiday season festivities.

Sing, sing, singalinga ding dong!

That’s not how it goes? Trying to remember Christmas song lyrics is WAY harder than I thought it would be. When I tried to sing the Purumbabumpbump song, that’s the only lyric I could remember. Heh. Last night was full of singing though! We had some serious carolers doing their thing from team Synonyms for [...]

He knew what Blue Harvest was codename for in the final challenge round and took the pot down. Congrats! Sheep [...]
