Quiz Schedule
HandleBar Tavern, Thursdays 8PM. 		Charles (Vertigo Chuck)

I'm Charles, Charlie, Chuck, whatever non-derogatory nickname you can think of for Charles. Even though I started QuizMastering at the HandleBar Tavern in December '11, I have quizzed in dozens of places for years. Our teams never quite won anything, but we always have a good time racking our brains for those little tidbits of info that GWD requires nightly.

I am definitely a geek. That picture is of me swinging from two phonebooks leafed together. Yeah, just like Mythbusters used to make. A physicist by trade, I don my mask and head out into the night partying hard and consuming various social lubricants.

Join me at my quiz and I will try to swoon you with my dulcet tones of vector calculus and Star Wars references. If you are really lucky, catch me with my Rubik's cube and I will get rid of its entropy faster than takes a grown man (or woman) to change a toilet paper roll (or paper towel roll)1.

Gordon Freeman is my hero. For the winter gift-giving season, I want a red crowbar so that I can keep it under my pillow while I sleep.

Yes, I know that today is Cinco de Mayo, but everybody knows that. Lame pun from yesterday's Star Wars day, but totally worth it. In speaking of that, the email I got the pun from (not even I will admit to that one) also had some drink recipies. A Darth Vader, an Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a Stormtrooper. Had to go for the Vader, and it was delicious considering the millions of flavors they had to put in to the drink in the first place. That and an Obi-Wan Kenobi needs to be served in a test tube. I didn't ask, but I don't think Darcy's has those behind the bar.

I know none of you were expecting me this week. I kept on going on and on about how I was busy, but things got cancelled, and I got sad. But there I was, and you know who else showed up...again? Johnny with Starburns is Dead!! And it Makes me Changry! I really thought that he wanted his Saturday nights back so that he could be free to do anything, and he ends up sticking around at quiz every week. You are a sad man Johnny.

We also had the regular RIP Adam Yauch, Noted Party Richts Activist and Beef Tits (Beef Tits). I now know that they have a pool of about 10 people that have that name, and usually no more than 6 show up in a week. Each week they are different people, but always the same Beef Tits (Beef Tits). That makes me smile every scoring break.

We ended with a tie that was going to gloriously be broken by a dance-off, but Party of 6 chickened out. By default, the prize went to Dying is Some Serious Ill-Communication. I had awesome dance music cued up too. Not that dubstep shit. Real music that you can really dance to. The bar agreed with me... of their own free will about that kind of noise. I'm glad I have them trained.

Guess who showed up today to Quiz? Johnny. This reminds me of a fairy tale I will make up...

Once upon a time there was a quizzling named Charles. He quizzed a lot and found a spot near home. Johnny, the quizmaster was crass and obnoxious. Charles had to leave for a while, and quiz elsewhere. He finally found the Trigon Trifecta and became his own quizmaster. Charles took over one of Johnny's spots. Not but a week after the coup, Johnny comes back to be a quizzling for Charles. That is obsurd! How can this happen? And at that though the space-time continuum breaks and everyone ceases to exist.

The End

(People, places, and names have been edited for confidentiality)

Moral of the story... Johnny was my quizzling to smack around as part of the Icecream Eating Motherfuckers. My life is complete.

Speaking about life, there were two birthdays tonight. One of them was Jessie in Jessie's Late to Jessie's Late Birthday. Great Idea to spend your party at the bar with us geeks. Who else did? Trinity from Rhymes with Duck decided for her birthday to break her quiz cherry, and guess what? She love it. No time is quite like your first though.

I'm getting used to the place after a couple weeks. Beef Tits will always make me chuckle with the echo during score recaps.The room got exciting when I was asking the first question and two more teams come in! If you are here to stay, you should be here to play. 

I have to ask, the music round tonight, who played the piano for those, and how did that person keep a straight face? I could barely keep from laughing. And why does everyone assume that a play about AIDS is always Rent? Seriously.

I'll see you all on Ashley Madison. I'm gone next week to be at a kick-ass fireworks show, so you get a nostalgia week and get Johnny back. Don't get used to it. I'm here to stay.

This was my first night at Darcy's as the QM, and these drunks are the shiz-nit. That's 90's speak for awesome. Walk in, and what do I see? Two hot girls with lightsabers. I love Cons at the tech center. Shame they didn't want to stay for quiz. I never want to leave this place.

I made the rounds as much as I could to decipher Johnny's instructions on the place. I got my ear talked off by Scottish Dave in the Buzzcocks. He totally said he was from Oklahoma. I think if they pulled any harder, I would need to use a wheelchair the rest of my life. Don't worry Scottish Dave, I'll put more scoring breaks in just for you. 

First to talk to me tonight were Yo Bee. The welcomed me warmly and said to drink as much as I could before quiz starts to loosen up. Check. Learn how to relax and let the quiz flow? Check. Alcohol is the best. Especially when a guy I went to college with showed up. Small world. At least it's the college people here. At my other gig it is high school peeps. College trumps high school every time.

Dick Clark's Dead: We Can't Ring in the New Year, Good Call Mayans Fuck Seacrest wins the best name of the night. Did you know the team's scribe wrote the whole name down word for word. By the end of the night, she had to have her hand amputated from overuse. Shame.

Thanks for the warm welcome! See you next week, cosplay and all. Farewell Johnny, enjoy your Saturday nights with the ladies. We will miss you. But it's my house now.
