So exclaimed Callahan Auto, a new team to PubQuiz that showed up at 21st Ave Bar & Grill on Thursday night.  They didn’t know that this week’s theme was Jim Henson, so they were a bit short on the Muppet-info.  But as they proclaimed, “we enjoy coming from behind.” Two regular teams, this week known [...]

I’ve often expressed how much I hate everything George Lucas touches.  You know, because it inevitably turns to complete crap.  Did you know that he fought – he fought HARD – to call the latest Indiana Jones movie not “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” but “Indiana Jones and the Space Men”. [...]

So I mentioned last night that I meant to come dressed as Miss Piggy, but couldn’t find my pig nose. Well just for you, I photoshopped a li’l picture of what I would have looked like, with a pig nose. You’re welcome! But what of the quiz, you ask? ALL THE TEAMS made it into [...]

Wow what a great pub quiz it was last night!  There were quite a few Jim Henson fans out there.  One team brought in some pretty rare muppet tamborine’s which was nice to see! Let me tell ya!  I love the Jeopardy rounds, they are so much fun seeing as everyone gets involved.  Moans and [...]

But usually only when other shows are using you as a joke setup. So awesome. Another big night at The Thirsty Lion!  Congratulations to first place winners Stringing Along – a two-member team who got out of the Lion before I could snap up their picture for the blog.  Instead, here’s a random picture of [...]

It was a bit of Electric Mayhem on Tuesday night at Biddy’s – both in the sense of a backbeat-pounding, skin-rocking craziness of an Animal drum solo, and also the unfortunate-timeliness of an AC malfunction (and the conveniently-indisposed status of numerous PDX electricians). A few cold beers did the trick, though, and the PubQuiz crowd [...]

Wow, was that the greatest question of my long and illustrious Pub Quiz career or what!? Q: “Today marks the Independence of the nation of Gabon, from what colonial power? A: France.” Take that, you bunch of sailor-shirt wearing mimes! Gabon totally PWNED France! Oh, glorious day… And it was also a glorious day for [...]

Just because I wanted to say ninja and zombies in the same sentence.  You know, because I’d a guy.  Someday I’ll figure out how to do the one-headline-trifecta: Ninja, Zombie, Pirates.  It will be a good day to be a dude on that day. Congratulations to We Heart Brains for taking home the winner-take-all pot [...]

Who knew that Ro Laren was actually from Star Trek, not Star Wars??  I didn’t, but our lovely quizzers did, including the Queen of Quizzery herself, who happened to be hangin’ in the front row at the Sellwood Public House on Wednesday. With only four teams in attendance, the odds were rad (3 in 4, [...]

In touch with the ground crowd, I’m on the hunt mic, I’m after quizzing you. Scent and a sound. I’m lost and I’m found And I’m hungry like the wolf Dingleberry. Strut on a line it’s discord and rhyme I howl and I whine (while) I’m after quizzing you. Mouth is alive all running inside [...]
