Trivia Art to Host Tonight

Trivia Art (above, posing as me for Halloween a few years ago), will be hosting quizzo tonight as I am headed down to Austin for the Geek Bowl. Art is best known as the man behind Foobooz, so there’s a decent chance there will be a food or drink round tonight. Action starts at Ugly American at 8 p.m. We move to Bards at 10:15 p.m. And good news at the Bards…Steak Em Up will not be playing tonight, so it’s wide open. Hope you can make it out tonight!

Greatest Source Ever?

So I was looking into whether or not it’s true that apples, potatoes, and onions all have the same taste, and that the only way we perceive a difference is their smell. Against my better judgement, I looked into what Yahoo! Answers said, since they never fail to give the absolute worst answers to everything.

In answer to the question of them having the same taste, here was the answer from Senthil R: Not exactly. but yes will have a small difference. Onion’s taste will not be the onion taste when you are unable to smell it, but still you can make out the difference.

Ok, so apparently there is a slight difference in taste between the three. Well, how is Senthil privy to this information? Under “sources”, it reads: My friend lost his smelling sensors when he had a head surgery.

You can read the whole thing here.

Secret Pants Added to Quizzo Bowl Lineup

For the past few years, Fastball Bob has graced us with his presence at Quizzo Bowl. Well, this year, he’s bringing the whole gang along. Renowned local sketch group Secret Pants, the group Fastball Bob is a member of,  is going to be performing one of this year’s rounds…and yes, Fastball Bob will have a starring role.

Tickets are now on sale to Quizzo Bowl IX, which will be held February 23rd at World Cafe Live and feature between-round performances from hair metal legends Welcome to My Face.

Fiesta Time at O’Neals

Well, we’ve been jamming lately at quizzo. But once place we’ve been quiet the past few weeks has been O’Neals. So we’re gonna go back to the old school on this one to get the party back under way there. Instead of just $3.50 Mexican beers, we’re doing a full on Mexican night on Tuesdays, just like we did when we started so many years ago. $5 quesadillas, nachos, and burritos. $3.50 shots of house tequila, and $5 shots of Cuervo tequila. And still $3.50 Mexican beers and margaritas. Plus we’re gonna have tons of giveaways. Action starts at 8 p.m.

On to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. Always great drink specials and a fun time. A challenging quiz this week. Hope to see ya tonight!
