We’re gonna be playing a Food and Drink quiz this week. Pretty self explanatory. One notable change: no Sidecar quiz on Tuesday, as they are closed for renovations. I will be at Dilworth tonight at 6, and Car will be at O’Neals at 8. No question of the Week this week. Hope to see ya tonight!
We’ve moved over to a new JGT Quizzo Facebook Page. If you want to know all the latest and greatest things happening in the quizzo world, head on over there.
I’ve also just launched a Quizzo Bowl XV FB page. If you’re planning on going, or at least thinking about it, be sure to like that page. I’ll then harvest all your data and sell it to the Trump/Pence 2020 campaign.
When I first moved to Hawaii with my childhood buddy Bo in 1998, we decided to attend services at the Mokuaikaua Church, the oldest Christian church in Hawaii. I put on my typical church wear: an Oxford shirt and a tie. Bo said, “You don’t need to wear a tie.” Being from the South, I knew that was outrageous.
“Of course I have to wear a tie, it’s church.”
“OK but you’re going to look like an idiot.”
I decided to take my chances. We started to walk into church, and the usher, sure enough, says, “Why you wearing a tie? Take it off. Relax.” And that was the last time I was dumb enough to wear a tie in Hawaii. The tie simply doesn’t exist there. For formal occasions, men wear Aloha shirts and women wear muumuus. And so it shall be at Quizzo Bowl XV, where you will be expected to wear Aloha wear. I mean, if we’re going to do a Hawaiian party, we’re going to do it right.
If you’re really looking to wear something nice that you can wear again, I recommend Hilo Hatties. An actual Hawaiian store that has beautiful clothes. And if you sign up on their website they give you 20% off your first order. It is a bit pricer than your other options, but if you want to support a true Hawaiian business and have an awesome shirt or muumuu when it’s done, that’s the spot.
If you’re looking to do it on the cheap, the move is always local thrift stores, but if you’re in a rush, yes of course you can use amazon. They’ve got some decent aloha shirts and muumuus for under $20.
And yes, we will have prizes for best Aloha shirt, best muumuu, and best dressed team.
In honor of the Eagles next playoff appearance, I’m writing a quiz about Birds and Saints….don’t worry, you won’t need to be an ornithologist, a football junkie, or a religious scholar to do well on this quiz. Finally a full slate of action this week!

We are back in action tonight! (January 2nd) Action starts at the Vous at 6:15 and on to Founding Fathers at 8:30. No Question of the Week this week. An annual tradition for round 2, a little bit of history for a wild card, and expect something new in the audio round. Quizzo is also on for Thursday at Birra at 8 and Bards at 9:15. See ya this week!
