That title should have been the title of our Handout round last night covering the best (and most sincere) apologies from all the popular fuck-ups over the last few years. A great quote from Governor Mark Sanford “I’d also like to apologize to my staff, because-as much as I talked about going to the Appalachian [...]

Sincerity-meh. (Bitter End Pub)
Silent Rage, Flaming Lips (Shanahan’s)
What a night north of the border. We had no Walker Texas Ranger sightings, but we did have a bevy of artsy lips at last night’s LIP-themed Pub Quiz. Shanahan’s is the place to be on Tuesday, and last night’s giveaways included some great Shanahan’s schwag. Owner Dave of Team Shanahans was a bit apologetic [...]
Milli Vanilli, Chuck Norris, “Sugar Tits”, and… naked politicians?
Yes, it was a crazy night at Schmizza tonight! Amidst Midterm madness we had a great quiz on the PSU campus, with teams going back and forth round to round. In the end, We Heart Brains took home the first place prize! Heh, after looking at the picture, I spontaneously thought to myself, “that looks [...]
Timbers, err, Green & White Army on a Roll
My beloved Blazers are looking slightly skiddish… While I’d love to use this space to brag and boast about an upset first round series win over the Suns, Monday’s game — essentially a must-win — left me feeling less than confident about the team’s chances. Not that I’ve lost all hope, it’s just, well … [...]
I went to Disneyland and all I got was this lousy bag of weed (CC Slaughter’s)
Sadly, the above mentioned person did not even get to see or ride or even expirence “PRIMEVAL WORLD” the question that spurned this discussion and the title of this blog. Apparently he went all the way to Disneyland and just bought some lousy weed. I’m sure that bag of weed would not have seemed so [...]
Teeing off on the “Green” at Bogey’s
what’s happening earth conscious trivia lovers, Another fun night at Bogey’s in Gresham. Almost all the teams maxed out on bonus points… the recycle reduce reuse signs are on everything these days. Is it keeping our planet healthier, or is it a good marketing ploy? Dunno, but it smells like money… speaking of which, Team [...]
And The Last Shall Be First…Like, only once in a while…
Sometimes the impossible becomes possible. That sounds like a really terrible motivational poster, doesn’t it? Well, it’s nothing short of the truth in regards to what happen Tuesday night at Hal’s. After an amazing show of brain warfare last week, “Clown Baby” showed up with the big guns (the mental version of course) blazing and [...]
So, a list of movies that start good and fall apart halfway through!
Let’s see… Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, check… Knowing, check… I’m gonna go ahead and put War of the Worlds (2005- with Tom Cruise). It started out awesome, with tons of suspense and interesting characters… and then it turned into a heavy handed special effects reel and all the interesting characters DIE. Dakota Fanning [...]
“Knowing” What, Exactly? (Belmont Inn)
Ah, Nicolas Cage — without you, we’d have far fewer lousy movies in the world. The above is not, in fact, an image of me scoring quizzes, but rather of Saint Nic himself in our Audio Clue movie, “The Knowing.” No puns intended, but I didn’t know this movie even existed, and neither did most [...]
Hey! Gimme that! What’s wrong with you bad-hair Woody Harrelson?
I love the blatant comb-over Woody sports in Kingpin. So awesome. Here’s some quick Jeremy-trivia: my roommate freshman year in college was named Woody. His real first name was Jeremy, but that quickly became dumb when we got phone calls, so he used his longtime nickname instead. Congrats this week to Cattle Prodigy, who snagged [...]
