File this under “Information I wish I had last week.” This little illustration (click on it for a huge sized one) explains a whole bunch of memes that are floating around the interwebz. After watching every team take a brutal beating at the last Thursday Throwdown, I’m considering getting this printed on handkerchiefs so you [...]

Sometimes the “information superhighway” is more like an information bumper-to-bumper LA freeway traffic jam.  Sorta like right now, and the speed at which this blog posting appeared vis-a-vis the actual night of the quiz.  Sorry y’alls; my only excuse is that RL got in the way this week (that’s “Real Life” for all you ananacronymstic [...]

Good night in Hillsboro at Morgy’s – almost 30 peeps showed for some pub quizzin’ and beer drinkin! In first place, a team that got their inspiration from an internet phenomenon, team I Can Haz Pub Quiz? And in case you don’t get the reference, here’s a couple pics that sort of show you what [...]

It was a night of craziness at the Thirsty Lion this week!  First, we had a team get a bingo for bonus points in FIVE QUESTIONS!  They got 4 corners so fast I thought I misheard them, but no! That wasn’t the end of the surprises either!  Round 2 was fairly tough, with some interesting [...]

I don’t understand why someone started that Internet meme of fake facts about Chuck Norris — the real ones are so much better! For example, did you know he was the 2006 Jewish Humanitarian of the Year? Or that he turned down the role of Mr. Foreman on That 70′s Show? How about that he [...]

The Borg is Back, baby! Sometimes the stars align, and the weekly theme just seems like it was written for you. Such was the case this Tuesday at Biddy McGraw’s. With “The Internet: Information Superhighway” as the theme, you could see the Borg9 collectively salivating, licking their chops as they were preparing to mop up [...]

Well, I guess it was only a short-lived curse.  Team Shuttlecock realized they lost when they used that team name, so they switched it up just enough – to shuttlecock.com – and it worked!  They took the first place money tonight, and MAN did they scream for ice cream when they heard they were first! [...]

This week, we indulged — nay, ENJOYED — Nathan from “Stumbling Drunks” idea to do a mashup at Shanahans, which consisted of players signing up to play, then putting their names in a hat, so that teams can be drawn randomly. Nathan was also so kind to snap photos of the evening, so this blog [...]

First off, thank you to all the people this past week who didn’t come to Pub Quiz dressed like Animal. I slept great this weekend, and I think it’s because of folks like you. Good people who don’t dress like this freak above. Secondly, in an effort to stretch your Muppet mania into the future, [...]

Come on, you got a Muppet-themed Pub Quiz rocking in the Space Room lounge? other headline could I possibly use? And running rail to rail some ridiculous amount of Muppet knowledge, Team Canada took home the top prize on the evening in front of an increasingly competitive crowd down on Hawthorne. But this wasn’t your [...]
