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.

Quiz this week would like to thank Eli Whitney, the pioneer of interchangeable parts, and Adam Smith the father of capitalism for making it possible for me to find a replacement laptop keyboard on amazon. Without which quiz would not have been possible.

Notable team of the week is The Phantom Menace is the Best Star Trek Ever. They were a week late, and didn't know it. Check last week's blog to see what I am talking about if you don't know. Usually if you are a week late, we have an intervention, go to Planned Parenthood and find some Plan B. Other options involve keeping it, which it looks like that will be happening in a couple years. Look at last week's blog for inspiration on that one.

Clever Team Name of the Night goes to Mars Needs Women. Simply because I think it is funny to have a Disney movie with a MILF complex. Wasn't that movie motion capture and CG? Mars Needs Women could be the porn version. It makes you wonder if they have used motion capture in the porn industry, or would that mean that every porno would need to star Andy Serkis then? In speaking of porn, wasn't round 7 fantastic? Just in case you forgot, here is the link to their website because you were so shy of asking me for it last night. I know you would rather have pictures of me, but those don't usually find themselves on the blog.

Pretty close quiz last night. You can read for yourselves, but just in case you can't read that chart on the left for any reason, the top 7 teams were within 10 points of each other. No wonder we had a tie for 2nd. Mark Sunford: Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs conceded the Dance Off to The Phantom Menace. Phantom Menace danced anyway. Usually the funky chicken doesn't get you any props, but it is quite dramatic when a woman is doing it 2 feet from your face. Insert Mel Brooks reference here.

In First Place with 867,338 Points managed to add on tons of points between the first 3 rounds. At Round 2 they had 977,532 points with 1,034,231 points at Round 3.

As you can see from the graph, the team was experiencing diminishing returns on their points, so after round 3, we received no further data. This is probably because of a fear of letting the other teams know that they are the weak gazelle.

 

Oh yeah, number analysis FTW!

 

See you all next week! Same Bat time, same Bat place.

May the 4th be with you! and all of that fun stuff. Quiz turns my lightsaber on if you know what I mean. I didn't think that walking around with a deadly weapon would be a happy thing, so I left it at home. For you Star Wars Junkies, Check out Ryan vs. Dorkman and RVD2. They are some pretty awesome stuff. Then there is always Star Wars Gangsta Rap. All should be watched. Especially by Happy Star Trek Day! The good thing is that I knew they were joking. That kind of thing is just clever... enough. Clever team name of the night goes to I Wanna Leia, But if Not, I'll Han Solo. Star wars themed packed with an innuendo. Perfect. 

The rest of the teams kept away from that battle. Two even had birtdays. David from Terrifying Space Monkeys turned 41. Which went perfectly with our round on things men shouldn't do over 30. It all pointed back to him. He agreed with every single thing too. Our other birthday was in Mangy Mongrels. Tonight was the night we popped their quiz cherry, and they weren't used to our style. We started talking about how awesome it is for questions coming hard and fast. It turned into a giant innuendo that I don't know if she entirely got, but was walking right into. I think another guy on their team needed a change of pants he was laughing so hard.

A couple of awesome customer action shots today... Wait, where does one usually see... Oh right. ThinkGeek. Anyway, take a look at this one.

This guy from Wash Out to the Side of You. Here We Come... just couldn't. Stop. Eating. Wings.

 

Not quite as awkward as this picture. When Royal Caribbean Destroyers squished together for a picture, this guy put his arms around the two adjacent ladies. I said that I hoped he had deodorant, and this one sticks her nose right up his pit. The better part of the story is that to get this shot, I asked them to pose, and it took about 15 seconds for my slow-ass camera to prepare itself. So she was breathing that for a good 30 seconds. It is a wonder that she didn't pass out.

 

Did anyone else besides me not know that Excruciating Minutae sounds more like excruciating minusha? Damn dead languages getting in the way of my pronunciation. Not as bad as living languages getting in my way. I'm talking about you Rural Jurors. Seriously, try saying that name 5 times fast.

 

See you all next week! Same Bat time, same Bat place.

Have you ever felt a wave of testosterone? Like in college when you were in the marching band walking next to the football team? Or like being in a bar packed with rugby players? It was totally the second one when I got there. Good thing they had those garage doors open. I'm glad quiz is more evenly balanced. Personally I enjoy a wave of estrogen. Not too much. Just enough to feel good.

There were some winning re-inforcements and winning core tonight. Both Andrew Jackson's Horse and Tree Fuckers agreed that their wins were because of the extra couple in their group. Tree Fuckers reminds me of a webseries that is fantastically funny for people that play Minecraft. Check out Mob Squad on Youtube. The zombie totally calls the PC a sheep fucker. If you don't play Minecraft, or know what a PC is, you should still check it out. Contrary to them, Thank God It's Not Karaoke Night! decided that it was because the other members of their group held them down. I think that win might go to Scottish Dave though. And he does insist that trick-or-treating is called guising. He also said that their jack-o-lanterns are made from turnips, so I'm not certain of his validity. Like a new article on wikipedia that has the banner that says "Can Has More Sourcez?" Yeah, I am taking the Rosetta Stone course for LOLspeak.

Have you ever seen Dr. Who? Not the World Health Organization, but the BBC show that introduced me to David Tennant who was fantastic as Hamlet. Especially since Patrick Stewart was Claudius? Yeah, much better than Mel Gibson. I mean, it's Patrick Stewart playing a ghost and a jerk-off king who marries his brother's wife. I digress.... Mike Tyson's Donkey Punch Out whipped out a sonic screwdriver. You point and click and it does everything. I wonder if it... it is about the right size for that.

By the way, Mike Tyson's Donkey Punch Out is the champion of this week's clever team name.

 

Not just 1 but 2 teams abused my super power of enunciation. I may not be able to write speaches, but you can damn well understand them. I didn't realize Dixon Cider or Pepper Your Angus were those types of jokes until Pepper Your Angus decided to let me in that it was "prepare your anus". I need to watch out for those. I think I was distracted by the Dead Hooker Bags, or Sex Panther that couldn't decide on whether to be plural or not. 

 

See you all next week! Same Bat time, same Bat place.

 

P.S. Don't forget to like the new facebook page.

P.P.S. You should be glad it isn't karaoke night. I would hog the microphone and no one wants to hear me sing.

P.P.P.S. It might be fun to have a round 2 where the QM does need to sing the songs.
