Leading 2 rounds (plus the handouts) sometimes ain’t enough!

A new team called The Wrong kind of Tacky did surprisingly well for their first pub quiz!  They were on top of round 1 with their Bingo bonus points.  They maintained their lead in round 2′s A to Z, and they stayed tippy-top when handouts were said and done (and tallied). In the final challenge [...]

I’d first like to thank God for this incredible honor, for it was surely him speaking the answer to Bingo Round #17 through me, and not me working of my own accord. I know that he was in the room with us at the Thursday Throwdown, because how else would we be able to explain [...]



Karnak is not Sarlacc:

This is the temple of Karnak: This is Sarlacc from Star Wars (Return of the Jedi): Do note not one quizzer got them confused – I did.  I had to look up Karnak because my first thought was “Wasn’t that the pit thing from Star Wars?”  It is not.  Sometimes I am quite dumb when [...]

Things that EXCITE was the theme at last night’s weekly Tuesday Night Tussle at Shanahan’s, and what a thrilling evening of random knowledge it was. In addition to the usual questions, which are anything but usual, of course, we decided to make things MORE exciting with a winner-take-all top prize! Three teams still made it [...]



White people, liking stuff

The New Quiz on the Block were just that, though inexperience worked out in their favor in the end. Despite a strong push Thursday night at NW 21st Ave. Bar & Grill by the Bunco team, they couldn’t get within striking distance and the New Quiz walked away with 1st place. After all, look at [...]

God, I wish I had one of those get-ups for last night. Well, not just last night — EVERY night. Sure I’d be the Willy Wonka of Pub Quiz, but I would DEMAND attention every time I grabbed the mic. Oh wait, I do that already… right? Who else demands attention? Right now it’s “Can [...]
