Hard to believe it, but there’s only ONE WEEK TO GO in our first ever Belmont Steak Standings. I’m polishing up the lovely trophy provided by the Widmer Brothers. And right now it seems that only two teams are in it to win it, but there’s a LOT of spoilers out there. I’d call them [...]

The Meat Sweats Set In… (Belmont Inn)
6 Pub Quizzes in 7 Days!!! Whew.. I Need a Vacation!!! LOL!!! Bogey’s 12/10/09
It was a long week for old Quizmaster Dave, with some private parties and covering for some folks I nailed 6 quizzes in 7 days… I don’t know if that’s a record or not… but it is for me! And there was no better place to end my world tour than Bogey’s as we played [...]
The Wild Blue Yonder (Space Room)
Great googly moogly! One week to go in the Inaugural Space Room Saucer and we’ve got a TIE on our hands! The four teams at the top of the Standings (see below) all showed why they’re the best of the bunch, but at this point it’s about who wants it most — and last night [...]
Drunk on Victory (Shanahan’s)
If “They Fucking Rock’s” bull-dance was any lesson to us all on Tuesday Night at Shanahan’s, it was probably this: Don’t ask a question about drunkenness in this pub, because they know how to throw ‘em back in any language. The typically large but this week short-handed bunch of merry revelers pulled off a stunning [...]
Fox News Follies (CC Slaughters)
What a night down at CC’s on Monday. Filling in for the fabulous Polly, we pulled in a crew from the Space Room (as well as Quizmaster Jeremy, who was on hand to flex his brain in a purely academic pursuit of Pub Quizzery) to cobble together a fun little night among friends. It was [...]
Quiet please… We’re Hunting Pub Quizzes…. Thirsty Lion 12/09/09
It was quite a quiet night last night down at the old Thirsty Lion… but that just made it more intimate and fun! We’re having a one month run off in the Widmer Cup so you can still come on down and possibly get your name etched on the “Fist of Knowledge”! “T/x” wound up [...]
14. 14 degrees. What the crap!
Not to take away from the event, but yes – it got cold last night. And yes I had a pipe burst in my house two nights ago. Luckily it was stopped quickly and isn’t my main line. Phew! Amidst water pipes freezing and people bundling up we had a great relaxed quiz night in [...]
Who Would Want a Gibson?!
You know what would make this martini better? How about an onion?! Eh, interested? I thought not. Most of the sophisticated folk at Roscoe’s agreed that putting an onion in your martini shouldn’t be called a ‘gibson’. Rather, it should be called a ‘gross’ or ‘disgusting’ because that more accurately illustrates the type of drink [...]
Tonight at the Sellwood PH
We had a great night over at the Sellwood Public House, especially considering that it was my first night flying solo. Nothing exploded or caught on fire! We clipped along through two rounds, and even had a surprise upset in the third, with Sweet Smurfberry Pie and their clever wagering outwitting the leaders Cattle Prodigy. [...]
forgot about this: I propose we have a team name off this week! Whoever has the funniest team name using the blue theme wins awesome points. Which are like cool points for better. My submission from last night: “I Just Blue Myself” Reference from Arrested Development. Here’s a picture of Tobias (David Cross) when he [...]
