October 21st, 2011 at 2:05 pm » Comments (0)

If you haven’t been following baseball, or specifically the Red Sox, lately, then you might not have heard that the Red Sox pitching staff drinks more during games than most college fraternities. And one of the biggest beer-ballers among them is ace Josh Beckett. So last night, at about ten-till-quiz, consider me gobsmacked when the [...]

Ah, Philly… city of cheesecakes, brotherly love, and Ben Franklin… but there’s this odor… I can’t place it. That’s right. That’s what it is… Tastykakes. That’s exactly what the cradle of liberty smells like. Sights, smells, and sounds abounded on our Eastern States themed quiz on Wednesday. it was a smallish crowd, with several new [...]

And too many uses of the ellipsis?… I can’t get over how good the food is at Thirsty Lion.  Cereally, it’s so good! A great night of Trivia was had Wednesday by all!  We had at least one new team enjoying themselves.  So much so that they actually won first place!  They didn’t know about bonus [...]



It’s navy blue with a white palm tree and crescent moon

  Which state flag did I describe? Alright, smartypants, how about a navy blue flag with two well-antlered deer of some sort that want to fight so bad an eagle has to keep them apart? That’s Michigan.   But that’s not the story of tonight’s quiz. Tonight’s quiz is a great story. Here is the [...]

Quizzing was in the air tonight. People were interested and anxious to play. Newcomers Mustache Riders On the Wind snuck up and got the bingo bonus points with an early bingo! They were excited! They had 4 bingos when all was said and done, and very proud of it! They stepped into the lead with [...]



If you need advice, perhaps ask Ozzy Osbourne

We had another great night at Thirsty Lion Washington Square last night. I was certainly glad to see some of our new teams return again to take on the regulars. The winning team was not decided until the final round. In the end it was the team calling themselves Alaskan Pipeline that took home the [...]



East of… I5

We had another great crowd this week at the Big Time Brewing Co. in Seattle. 10 teams battled it out for the cash, many of which hailed from east of the Mississippi, which was this week’s theme, and they showed me their IDs to prove it, earning extra bonus points. Teams did well in the [...]



The Schmizza trophy is officially MIA

October 19th, 2011 at 5:47 pm » Comments (0)

They searched high and low, but someone must have thrown the thing out.  Why?  It’s not like it looked like a hobbled-together old trophy with a pizza shaped dog squeaky toy on top!  Maybe it’ll be back, Chuck Norris style, after being MIA.  Probably not. If you find it on the street someday, there’s a zero [...]

All business. That’s how we rolled at Shanahan’s last night. Well… not exactly. In fact, there was a LOT of goofing off. It seems that I leave for one week and you all forgot how to behave! Next week, I’m bringing a ruler and wrapping some knuckles. But really, we had a blast. It was [...]

Not to mention the stupendous selection of micro brews they have available. We had a savvy group of quizzers from the burbs chopping [...]
