I really don't like that song, but it makes a good blog title. I did play here back in the day before I was enlightened (corrupted) and became a quizmaster. Great croud of people that were pleasantly surprised to have a pencil sharpener, as opposed to teams that I have had in the past that look at the contraption like a monkey would look at a typewriter. You were smart enough to work it out. Now go write Shakespeare with your newly sharpened pencils. (Insert {lol. "Insert} pencil sharpener innuendos here).

Some words are really difficult to find on the spreadsheet when you are scoring. On multiple occasions I couldn't find Boogers. It is definitely a good thing not to find, but not when you need to score it. When I talked to the team about it later, they suggested putting a booger on their name on the screen. Missed opportunity because my nose decided to imitate PMS symptoms that day.

You know when you have a 6th sense about when someone might be cheating on you? I found one of my teams from Darcy's walking in. Apparently they have "never been here before." New Team + is easy to forgive because of their mad Draw Something skills. Seriously, I needed to take a video and spend way too long turning it into a gif.

If you don't recognize the awesomeness of what he drew, then I am ashamed and will need to suggest to Jason that you are in need of education.

I was completely confused by In Last Place for doing so well. Not Gonna Win ended up not winning, but In Last Place didn't end up in last place. What weird physics is this? Is it a "set the bar low" kind of thing? I'm glad it works here. It must be that awesome porch you have that concentrates paranormal activity. Not the movie though. You know that couple was into weird stuff if they had a security camera well focused to them in bed. Either that, or they could have been making a couple bucks on the side. Or both.

Something that I like to do is Clever Team Name of the Night. It is a tough decision, but I will need to give that to Marshmallow. It is such an unassuming name. Because of the balcony porch thing, I could totally imagine a Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man battle happening right outside. I still have my Ghostbusters costume, so we could photoshop it up sometime.

Thanks for being an awesome crowd. I'll need to come back again sometime.

See you all when I see you!

Alright Mother Nature, it's time to get serial for just a second.  I've been hosting quiz at McCabe's for 4 weeks now, and you have made crap fall from the sky for each of them.  When I inherited this wonderful locale, I was told lovely stories of teams overflowing onto the patio, of teams blissfully imbibing their favorite beverage under the warm glow of a setting Colorado sky.  It's May, Mother Nature....cut the crap.

Nine bold teams ventured out into the thunder/rain storms tonight.  After a week hiatus, They're Not Here Anymore captured first place, thanks in large part to a perfect (and Jokered) Round 2.  Last week's winners Tracy Ditched Us came in second this week.  Maybe Tracy would have made the difference.  Let's hope this guilts her into coming next week.  Rounding out the Top 3, finishing one point out of second, we had Cheeky Monkeys.

The Quiz: What We Learned

• Teams love it when I try to pronounce foreign stuff.
• Meat Loaf has "Bitch Tits."
• The outtakes for Orson Welles' Paul Masson commercials are pretty darn hilarious.
• There was never a Roman goddess named Crabs.
• World War 2: Electric Boogaloo....

In personal news, I recieved my Master's in Elementary Education in the mail today.  Next Saturday I'll be marching in my commencement (I hear I get a fancy hood).  In light of this, my new pseudonym for blog posts was decided for me by a jury of my peers.  Yes, I know it's not origional.  Yes, bonus points if you can tell me that artist who first came up with it.

That's going to do it for this week kids.  Hopefully (again) we can get some nice weather next week and start quizzing out on the patio.  I've decided that once we get 3 consecutive weeks of patio weather, I will invest in a wireless mic so that I can rock quiz both inside and out.

Until next time: be good and be bad when it feels right.

Welcome back once again everyone.  My apologies for the delay in getting this blog post out to you guys; my computer decided to hate on me last night.  But after a day of praying to the Windows Gods, I'm happy to say that Old Martha is back up and running.  But enough about me, we had quiz last night!! Here's how it all went down:

Missing two of our regular heavy-hitting teams this week, it was really anybody's game heading into quiz.  Couple that with all of the fresh faces brought in by the private event right beforehand, and I was quite excited to see who would walk away as this week's champion.  In the end, ManBearPig emerged ahead of the pack.  Very impressive was the fact that their lowest-scoring round still managed to be worth 5 points.  Coming up behind them was the appropriately named Always Winter, Never Christmas.  Rounding out the Top 3, we had 2 Chicks 1 Dick narrowly hanging on the stay in the money.  

A special shout-out to Danielle and Simone of Napalm Space Spitting Gophers, who dispite coming in last place still had a great time, signed up for the e-mail list, AND promised to return next week ready to kick some serious quiz-butt.

The Quiz: What We Learned

• Our quizzers sure do know their butt sex; not so much their Jesuses (Jesusi?)
• It's a shark!
• Al Gore + Tommy Lee Jones + College dorm room = Sitcom waiting to happen.
• Sexy Actresses - Teeth = Visual rounds which cannot be unseen.
• 1972 featured two movies with buttsex scenes.
• Seriously, it can stop snowing any time now....

Hopefully next week we'll be able to open up the patio so quizzers can enjoy my ramblings out in the fresh air.  Or that it at least doesn't snow.  Ya, that'd be good too.

Don't forget to like Geeks Who Drink at McCabes on Facebook, where every week I give an extra clue in addition to the e-mail ones.  If you've already liked us, be sure to check back there "soon" for more info on some sweet summer events.

Anyway, that'll do it for me..  I'll see you all back upstairs next Wednesday at 8.  Until then, as always: be good and be bad when it feels right.
