We had a rather quiet quiz last night at Billy’s Bar in Beaverton. I suppose folks were still worn out from the Thanksgiving weekend. The quiz still went rather well and smooth since all the teams were seasoned quizzers. Round one was won by Hangover & a pineapple. No bingo though. They also rode away [...]

That’s my red swingline stapler
Be gone, Tolkeinites!
Aaaaaactually, they prefer to be called “Ringers.” That’s what we learned at Pub Quiz last night — it was our cult and cult classic themed quiz, and I can’t figure out which of those categories the Lord of the Rings fits into. I’m also going to say that I don’t so much care. Take that, [...]
Oh man, that was funny
The question: What is the primary religion of Tibet? The answer I had: Hinduism. When I read the answer, one person waaaay in the back of the place shouted, “NOO! BUDDHISM!” She was SO certain in the way she said it, that I looked up the answer, which was indeed actually Buddhism. She had just [...]
That is So Money….
The fall crowd at Biddy’s was in full effect tonight! More players, more players! Bingo wasn’t even close. Borg 9 had zoomed in on the bonus 20 points before anyone knew what hit them. They were securely in 1st while The Joy of Sects was in a 3-way…tie with BuzzKill and Kitty Glitter. Boba stuff [...]
So what did you get roped in to making for T-day?
I offered to make deviled eggs, and I love to do it! Did you get stuck making the turkey? Some sort of tater dish? The whole Thanksgiving meal from yams to gravy? Hopefully whatever you make, you’ll have some time left over to enjoy friends and family. I’ll be visiting some friends who might as [...]
It’s tricky to rock a rhyme that’s right on time (it’s tricky)
Turkey day USA, good times, better food. I shouldn’t blame anyone for missing pub quiz the night before, but I will. You missed out! Team Orange, besides being impossible to rhyme with, took an early lead and rode the wind to victory- there may have been an upset early on but no one ended up [...]
Jack & Jill went up the hill
I doubt they just went up there to get water though. We had a fun night at Billy’s bar in Beaverton last night with many quizzers delivering their creative haiku’s for bonus points. (sorry I do not have any examples) With ten teams vying for the loot, we easily had one of our most competitive [...]

Take that, Mark Zafferbert! (Belmont Inn)
Oh glorious day! Friday’s always a lovely one because we get the great big hangover from Belmont Thursdays. $2 wells, micros up the wazoo and lots of kickass happy hour deals. Last night, around a dozen teams turned out to play, and we had a great time. Our computer theme quiz had all the nerds [...]
