Tonight we were packed nearly to the gills with pub quizzers at the Sellwood Public House. And what a crowd we had! Two import teams from “The ‘Couv” rolled over the bridge to join us. Including one very special guest: My 400th facebook friend Kathryn. She joined me just a week ago, unexpectedly became an [...]

Sellwood celebrates (Sellwood Public House)
Indoor Sports, huh? *wink*
Our usual crowd welcome the dude celebrating his birthday!! He brought his team, It’s My Birthday, to play…and share cake!! They pulled a fast one and won the bingo bonus points!! Even with those points, though, they were in last place at the end of round 1. Mustache Riders, most in matching shirts, took an [...]
504″ wide bowling lanes. No explanation needed.~ (Bitter End pub)
I betcha, if they had a bowling alley on “the island” it would be 504″ wide. I’m not sure exactly why, but it’s something to do with that Lost finale. Yes, they may have written the ending when they wrote the beginning, but they clearly did not write seasons 2-5 in any sort of order [...]
Hal’s – Where you will never have to worry about flashing sideways
So now that Lost is done, Tuesdays are open right? I would say that after last nights full crowd at Hal’s, all is not “Lost”….Groooannnnnn… Anyways, it was one hell of a quiz last night, with a bunch of new teams playing. Hal’s home team was coming off a two week winning streak, but alas, [...]
Presidential Spanx
On May 22, 1849, Abraham Lincoln received Patent No. 6469 for a device to lift boats over shoals, an invention which was never manufactured. However, it did make him the only U.S. president to hold a patent. Shown here is his scale model at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. So if you don’t know, [...]
Spanx are TOTALLY for men too!
I’m not sure how I feel about that, but it’s a fact. A disturbing, tightly clinging fact. Fun first night for me at Schmizza Pub and Grub! Our teams duked it out for a winner-take-all pot, with “Needs a Hug” taking first place: They look good even slightly out of focus! Next week we’ll try [...]
Alliteratively speaking… (CC Slaughter’s)
We had a good turn out AGAIN this week at Slaughters on Monday night. That means that winner-take-all pot we’ve got going on is getting pretty great to snag for any team that shows up and throws down. And once again, that bar team was rocking the quiz. Once again in the top three. Something [...]
Whoaaaa a night of epic proportions!
Okay, okay… So first, we have a packed house at the Parkway Station Pub. Then, team Alabama Slam-her got their first bingo for bonus points, and of course taunted Dazed & Confused (some of whom are related to members of Alabama Slam-her). THEN round two, quizlinks, was crazy – 4 teams got near perfect scores, [...]
Onanist’s raise your hands (North Portland Brewery)
We had a tight game at North Portland last night, where we learned the definition of an onanist. A highly enjoyable endeavor to be sure, but remember at Pub Quiz always keep your hands on the table where I can see them. Once a quizee told me that she kept her phone in her pocket [...]
Highballs at Bogeys
Hello My Quizlink Quizlings, Duck Fart… hahahaha. Anyway, I hope everyone is recouping just fine from last nights quiz. I was handing out bonus points left and right. What a rowdy night, complemented with extremely armageddon like weather outside. Rounds one and two? Consistent. Handouts? Shook things up! Challenge Question: Flipped upside down! I love [...]
