Oh yes ladies and gentlemen… The evening was full of Batman references, Johnny Depp was mention a few times, and so was Tim Burton’s lady friend… My personal favorite was everytime Danny Devito was mentioned, I love him in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia!  Frank is a fantastic character… Anywho back to the quiz.  It [...]

It was a small, intimate Pub Quiz at Maxwell’s last night as everyone was out enjoying the sunshine and, in the case of my friends, getting ready for the local Burning Man event called SOAK.  Fat Benatar took an early lead by winning the Bingo!!  They had Her First Mistake right behind them followed by [...]

Maybe, if you’re in that porn film, that is  ”what she said” otherwise, I can’t really see where that might fit, but I just had to try. Great night to be a quizzer in Sellwood tonight.  The air conditioning was on, the drinks were flowing, and we had over $100 in the pot.  I’d say [...]

I don’t want to throw too much ink the Stumbling Drunks way, but man do these guys know how to quiz. Whether they know how to WIN is another issue, but they’re about as fun as a multiple choice question featuring four dirty word answers. No… even more fun than that. Yesterday, mired in traffic [...]

They made the most of their opportunity, though, when they nailed the final answer and secured the 1st place [...]

People of Belmont, it’s the end of an era: Out with the Beige Food, and in with the No Mouth Monkeys. Beige Food, the two-time reigning champ took a bit of more than they could chew at this week’s Meat-themed quiz at the Belmont Inn’s weekly Thursday Throwdown, and the end result was relinquishing their [...]

At the end of each week at Pub Quiz, disappointment reigns supreme for most teams, but for us quizmasters we get bummed about all the great questions that we DIDN’T ask. It wasn’t until I started pulling this blog post together that I remembered Peyton “Cut that Meat” Manning. How did we miss asking a [...]

Does anyone else feel like a vampire just for living in Oregon?  For realz, it’s some Stephenie Meyer-Charlaine Harris-Laurell K. Hamilton-Patricia Briggs-Kelly Armstrong type of shit!  Wow, between my mother, sister, and friend Jenn harping on vampires I know a LOT of horror authors.  I met Laurell K. Hamilton once.  Well, actually I interrupted her [...]
