Moe's BBQ (North) 530 Broadway Denver, CO 80203 Thursdays: 8:00 PM |
Hello, Moe's! Good to be back, and to be there for good this time. The snow didn't keep you fine folks down last night, because you're badasses. Good for you! I'm posting this as I work off the remains of anesthesia this morning, so I warn you it may make even less sense than usual.
Round one was Sticks and Stones. Some were easy, like Brimstone being Sulfer and Sly heading up The Family Stone. Some were more difficult, like remembering Calista Flockhart now that she's not doing anything at all these days. And some were downright, "huh?" Namely the Nestle question.

Noonan's Tavern 13521 East Iliff Avenue Aurora, CO 80014 Thursdays: 8:00 PM |
A quaint Denver sports bar has been the most recent to be shanghaied into the Geeks Who Drink universe - welcome Noonan's Tavern! There was no hazing nor any idiot stunts to prove their valor. They came willingly yet avidly and are now along for the ride. This is a pretty kick-ass establishment located inside a golf course's clubhouse yet open to the public and I love the subtle hint to Caddyshack in the name. When I first heard the name, some bells started to ring in my head but I couldn't place it. Then I got it. Coincidentally, I just got back from [ more ]

The HandleBar Tavern 335 S Downing St Denver, CO 80209 Thursdays: 8:00 PM |
The bar was full of people trying to get their last drink in before the big storm. Man is it snowing outside. If I wasn't stuck at home, I would be in the traffic headed toward the slopes. I guess Punxsutawney Phil got it right finally this year with 6 more months of winter. We had close to 20 teams when we started out, but I guess a few of them didn't have the stomach for the awesomness that is GWD quiz. We were sad to see them go, except for the other players. They were glad that the other competition was weeding itself out. One of the teams to leave had the best name by far at the Handle [ more ]

The Highliner Pub 3909 18th Avenue West Seattle, WA 98119 Thursdays: 8:00 PM |
When computers rule the world and accents exist no longer, it's going to be hard to determine just which language someone is speaking, as evidenced last night. According to our Quizzers, Russian sounds like Japanese, Italian like Chinese, Spanish and Arabic like Korean. If there is anything last night taught us, it's that if you don't recognize a language you're going to (wrongly) guess something Asian, especially when spoken by a robot. Unless of course it's Dutch, because that sounds like English.

The Spirit Bar 2046 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA 02140 Thursdays: 8:00 PM |
Yes I stole the title of this post from one of the teams last night, and I frankly don't care. That's how you get ahead in life. You cheat. You steal. You do whatever it takes to get that sweet sweet Honey Dijon mustard piled high on top of your hotdog of success. I should start giving out a prize for the best team name. If I did last night it would have been to Murray Groundhog Day who didn't get anything because they came in 6th place.
The guy in first place, Pray For Tommy decided to leave half way through the game. Somehow I broke my score sheet and eve [ more ]
