Brrrr…it was cold outside tonight! The teams filed in and got signed up to compete. I was given lots of theme ideas. Bingo was a little bit tough, but still a fun round. Borg 9 got the bingo bonus points with a 4 corner win! This put them in the lead from the gate. Ah [...]

The Help was definitely worth a nomination at the Oscars.  It was the first time I’d seen Bryce Dallas Howard as a bitchy role.  She’s one of those Chameleon actors: She always looks striking, but she can look so different from role to role, I’ve been surprised more than once that it’s her in that [...]

Last night at the Brooklyn Stable was a intimate show down between a fiendish groups of  friends. The once great Sweet Tea factured into Sweet Tea and the aptly named Bitter Tea.  The fierce competitors sat side by side as if to challenge each other with their sheer presence.  The bingo round began and proved challenging for [...]

It was Oscar fever at the Belmont last night, where we had another huge turnout, another great quiz, and a fierce argument about the skills of Meryl Streep — or lack thereof. The fight only proved one thing: If Meryl Streep had been in Field of Dreams, it would still be the worst movie ever [...]

The house was packed and the awards were on everyone’s minds. Bingo was off and running. We only had 4 questions left to reveal the answers to when 3 teams shouted out “Bingo!” They came and got their answers verified and points were awarded. Yahtzee! took an early lead with To be Determined in 2nd [...]

team “And the Winner is…”!  No really, that’s their team name.  Congrats to them for their first place win last night!  There were nearly 60 quizzers there testing their knowledge, so it was no small feat: They were in a commanding lead in round one, barely maintained it in round 2, and finished strong still [...]

… well the Big Time Brewing Co. of course! Congratulations quizzers on another great week and another packed house. Our dozen teams battled it out for a sizable cash prize (three of them actually) as well as some goodies from the bar, and fun was (hopefully) had by all. Quizzers were pretty good at all-things [...]

Last night at Space Room, we played the classic Oscars audio clip of Jack Palance winning his award, and saying “Billy Crystal… I shit bigger than him.” Ever wonder what Jack Palance eats for breakfast? I’m betting Grape Nuts. But we had a lot more than Grape Nuts last night — the staff mixes up [...]

I admit it, I don’t watch awards shows. I don’t watch much tv at all anymore (who needs it with the internet, really?) but especially awards shows. The speeches, the presenters, the nominees…I guess it just doesn’t really speak to me. (And I usually just rage at whoever wins anyway, my picks are always wrong) [...]

All the stars came out to Shanahan’s Theater last night for the 184th annual Academy Quizwards last night, a night of action, excitement, cash, and long acceptance speeches. I hope you weren’t thinking Oscars — no, no, these are better than Oscars. They’re Grouchie Awards! Well, they aren’t really awards, either. Unless you win. Then, [...]
