Well after an initial struggle with the sound system (thanks to Pub Quiz Master-master Dave for helping me plug everything in over cell phone), things settled right down here at my substitute gig at the Portsmouth and we had a good ol’ time. Four teams showed up to duke it out for the magnificent $60 [...]

I love ghosts and all things scary. Well, I guess I should say I love creepy, eerie, paranormally scary things (wow, the spellchecker okays “paranormally”! That’s a new one. Though, it didn’t like “spellchecker.” HILARIOUS.), for I certainly don’t like global warming, John McCain, or weird, gross cysts.
But I LOVES me some paranormal activity! Oddly, [...]

Konnichiwa! Ogenki desu ka? Anata ga suki desu!
Sure had fun at tonight’s quiz! All us quizmasters got to pick our own themes this week and I chose that fascinating, exotic, crazy nation to the East, Japan! Have been wishing to go there for years (and am actually saving up to do such a thing right [...]

Ahh fine dining at the ol’ Belmont Inn. Nothing goes better with the nachos than the sweet waft of nicotine. Apparently, the Belmont doesn’t really have a special, though I distinctly remember asking server Rascal a few weeks back what her choice of food was and she said the California Burger. So that’s my choice, [...]

I’m a little off my game tonight. Little tired and I used up all my speed at tonight’s rousing drug-themed quiz, so I may not be as clever and cute and obnoxious as usual.
We had to turn teams away tonight to stay at the Pub Quiz Oregon team limit of 21, and still 90 of [...]

Well, here we are again. Another night come and gone at the Belmont Inn and thus I recap the glory that was.
It seemed extra smoky in the ol’ BI tonight and EA Renee and I wondered if maybe the filters were off or a window closed. Or maybe the heat control switch had been accidentally [...]

Ooh la la what a wild, wonderful night of wild, wonderful, weird women at the Belmont Inn. I mean the quiz itself of course. The female pub quizzers were relatively tame. I was hoping someone would come in a Wonder Woman costume or maybe a Susan B. Anthony getup (I left mine at home so [...]

How have I gone decades being an enormous Seinfeld fan and not known Jerry Seinfeld’s real name is Jerome? It’ll be a mystery that haunts us all to our graves, but until then thank you to Proud We Are of all of Them for enlightening me to this little known or perhaps commonly known fact. [...]

Man what a good title I came up with for this blog post. You see how it rhymes AND brilliantly ties in the week’s theme all in one fell swoop!? You see!?
Oh wait, I just remembered that was actually Beige Food’s team name tonight. So I’m not really clever or witty at all. Still I [...]

Hey I liked everyone’s music-themed shirts! Especially the Air Supply one, the Uncle Tupelo one, and Boomshanka Ryan’s enormous tye-dyed Page ‘n’ Plant shirt. For some reason he took it off promptly after showing it to me and I was very sad.
A rather groggy one tonight for me and Executive Assistant Renee, who were both [...]
