Quick Note on the Wire Quiz

Ok, so there’s been some confusion about the Wire quiz at POPE. Here’s the deal: It will be SUNDAY. The North Coast kegs will be tapped at 7 p.m., so that’s when they event officially begins. I won’t be hosting quizzo right off the bat though. There’s gonna be some time for people to come in and get settled and grab a beer. We are expecting a huge crowd, and I suspect it will be packed pretty quickly. If you want to play on Sunday, I suggest you get there at 7 p.m. Seriously, this is going to be a sold out gig, so don’t come wandering in at 8 p.m. and think you’re gonna get seated. It could happen, but I’ll be shocked if it does. We will probably start the quiz around 8:30 or so. I know some places say 9, but if we’re packed by 8 there’s not need to wait another hour. My point is simple: be there no later than 7 p.m. Otherwise, you probably won’t get a seat. And then you’ll be like “Sheeeeeeeeeeeit.”

The good news is that the demand for this is so high we’ll probably do another one in the next couple of months.

Hot Naked Babes Galore! And French Fries!

No, this isn’t spam. Just hooking you up with a Amadeo Modigliano painting. I bet if you had known how hot the ladies were in some of his paintings are you would have known the answer to that question (very few teams got that one right.) Anyways, we kick off French Fry Thursday tonight with a quiz at Ugly American at 8 p.m. Looking to give away a couple of baskets of fries away in French Fry Faceoff, so bring your game faces. On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m., where we’ll have $3 Lagers, French Fries and what the hell, I might give away some CDs and books as well.

Also, be sure to tune in tomorrow afternoon when I will have a very special announcement concerning the Summer Invitational. Stay tuned.

French Fry Thursday

All new quizzo tonight at the Ugly American and Bards. We kick it off at the UA at 8 p.m. If your self esteem could really use the boost that only a quizzo win can give you, then I heartily recommend playing at UA. No dominant team, with a real shot for anybody to win.

On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. This is where you go if you want to run with the big dogs. Great beer specials at both bars.

And remember, if you’re a Tarantino fan, Koob and Kristy are hosting a Tarantino quiz at Drinker’s Old City at 8 p.m. on Tarantino films. Good night for a quiz. Hope to see ya out!

Bounty Bowl Tonight!

We kick it off at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. $3 Saranac IPAs and $2 Killian Irish Red pints. Plus the bounty is going back on the Jams. $40 prize bonus to any team that can knock off the Vous’ premiere team and finish first tonight.

On to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Had a big upset last week. Will we see another one this week? Time will tell. Kind of a tough quiz this week, but a fun one. I think it’s gonna keep things close. Hope to see ya tonight!

And quick note for Quentin Tarantino fans: there will be an all-Tarantino quiz tomorrow night at Drinker’s Old City hosted by Koob and Kristy at 8 p.m.

Funniest Moment at Quizzo This Week

The last question of Thursday’s Ladies quiz was: “What board game, popular in the 80s, featured the categories of career, special moments, children, and marriage?” Thinking the answer was “Life”*, a girl on one of the team’s shouted, “What does that have to do with women?” Without missing a beat, a guy at the table next to her responded, “Because they ruin it.”

WORST TEAM NAME OF THE WEEK: My Mom Has an Amazing Body (Ugly American).

*It was actually Girl Talk.
