Several people have asked me if the quiz is all about the Caribbean. No. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear enough. It will be a general knowledge quiz, like a typical quizzo, except slightly harder and a lot more fun. The usual: sports, entertainment, science, literature, humanities, etc. There will be 5 rounds, with an easy, a 50-50, a celebrity, a music round, and an impossible round. Might there be a few Caribbean questions? Maybe. Who knows?*

*Not me. If you think I’ve started writing the Quizzo Bowl questions already, you obviously don’t know me very well.

Oh, we fancy huh? Yep. The Quizzo Bowl afterparty is gonna be going down just a 10 minute walk from the World Cafe Live at one of the coolest establishments in the city. JG Domestic is gonna be hooking us up with their beautiful space, happy hour drink specials, and our good buddy Andy B. behind the bar*. It’s gonna help make a great night even better. Do not wait until the last minute and miss the greatest quizzo night on earth! Buy your tickets today! You can either buy from me at quizzo tonight or you can buy them online here.

*Quick heads up: there will not be food service, just some light snacks, so be sure to get dinner at WCL.

We kick it off at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. then move to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. You definitely want to bring your literary team member. A very interesting wild card round (The Penn kids hated it…you’ll love it.) Hope to see you tonight…and just a heads up…there might be a question or two about this guy.

There has been plenty of craziness at Quizzo Bowl over the years. But we haven’t had a lot of parity. Oh sure, we’ve had close matches (last  year’s was determined by a point, Quizzo Bowl V was determined by one question, etc.), but so far we’ve only had 3 different winners in 7 years. That could be changing this year. For one thing, Lambda will not be playing. Yes, you heard right. Steve-O has a wedding to attend that day, and without his leadership, the team fell apart. Sofa Kingdom meanwhile, will be without two of their best players. Garbo will be in Brazil (don’t ask) and rumor has it that Kenney will be reforming his old team, the Hurtin Bombs. Don’t make any mistake, that team is so good that they’ll still be right in the thick of things (they finished 2nd at Quizzo Bowl IV without Kenney or Garbo), but it certainly evens the playing field a little bit. I am predicting a new winner this year. Will it be your team that reaches the heights of quizzo immortality?

Come nurse your Super Bowl hangovers at North Star tonight. One round of Super Bowl Questions for People Who Hate Football. Action starts at 7 p.m. I will have Quizzo Bowl tickets on me for sale.

So here’s a short video I did about our trip to Denver for Geek Bowl a couple of years ago. It’s a great video, but since I’m a jackass I never finished it. Regardless, here is Part 2. This is the one where Phil goes off on one of the greatest runs of worthless music knowledge you will ever see.. I will finish Part 3, damnit. It’s just too good not to. Here are a few of the guys we have playing on Saturday as well. (video from last year). Carl and I are with ladies team this year. The other guys in the video are on the A-team with Jam Master Phil and Kenney. Alright, I gotta get packed. If you want to follow our progress, follow me on twitter.

Kick off at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. $2 Dundee Festive Ale Pints and $3 Fosters. On to Black Sheep at 8 p.m. I would expect a few questions having to do with Texas.

The master of suspense turns 203 today. Here are a few of my favorites. They’re all short. Do yourself a favor and read one or two to honor one of the most important authors in American history.

Gonna try something a little different tonight. Gonna go with four rounds, four topics, and 1 point per question…with a joker. Why? Well, why not? As an added bonus, I’m going to give you the four topics, all of which were selected by our . They are: Books that were turned into films, Science, Edgar Allan Poe (today is his birthday), and shipwrecks. Should make for an interesting quiz. Action starts at Ugly AMerican at 8 p.m. $2 beers, and $3 fries. We move to Bards at 10:15 p.m. $3 fries, and $3 beers. Makes for a fun cheap night out. And I’m kind of excited about this quirky quiz. Interested to see how you guys do on it.

Action starts at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. Interesting quiz this week. Science fans are gonna like the wold card round. We move to Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Hope to see you there!

In other trivia news, on Jeopardy last night, there was an answer that got Alex chuckling. The clue was, “A blow to the back of the neck is the punch named for this animal.” Mike answered “Donkey”. It was marked wrong and the answer they wanted was rabbit. But wait, isn’t “donkey” correct and the question flawed? Yes. Mike should have been given credit for his answer. A donkey punch is named for an animal and is a punch to the back of the neck. The fact that it occurs during sex is inconsequential. It is exactly what the question asked for. Mike should have been awarded $800, and Betsy should have had it taken away. Incidentally, pretty crazy that the round was “Punch” a week after my “Punch round” that did indeed include the answer “donkey punch”.
