A Question About the Movie Twister? Too Soon!

Kyle the Girl

It always amazes me how a seemingly quiet evening can turn in to a night of rowdiness in a matter of minutes. AT 7:55 we had 5 teams ready to play, and at 8:05 I was already having to turn up the dial on my soundboard. And no, it doesn’t go to 11. I never did get complete control over the room, but when birthday parties come it’s to be expected.

Random thoughts during quiz:

Hey, geek games I actually know and play! Score one for Ticket to Ride!
Let there be light was rather dark and disappointing
A first, a sports round that we actually did pretty well on, 16 points no complaints
If you don’t watch TV, you probably wouldn’t know what we were talking about anyways
The Mayor of Buffy the Vampire Slayer must have been the worst character, since most people thought he was from The Wire
I’m not really sure how Shia LaBeouf would look in April O’Neill’s trench, but probably not good
Did Tekken have anything to do with ninjas?
Did anyone else know the initials J.A. stood for Rage Against the Machine?
If only the DISH adds were as memorable as the DirectTV adds…don’t reenact scenes from Platoon with Charlie Sheen
We watch zero TV in this group…I mean really, this was sad
Just because Xenon starts with X, doesn’t mean it’s the heaviest noble gas
Culinary vegetables include tomatoes, look it up
We suck at duets

Wipe Out is a sad, sad knock off of the amazing show Sasuke, or as we call it in America, “Ninja Warrior.” I’m going to contribute Ninja Warrior’s awesomeness to the English voice over of the Japanese hosts. Either that or the fact that it was a great distraction from studying for my chemistry final in college.

Another great quiz, another great night of teams. Happy birthday to that one girl who showed up and had her friends sing happy birthday during the middle of round 8. Hope everyone had fun, and congrats to our top teams. If you’re interested check out the Rumble in the Pub , Denver-wide competition for the best Quiz team. And remember to put Freshcraft down as your home bar. I think our teams have a great chance of bringing home the prize. Until next week, you stay geeky Freshcraft.

Hey, It's a Team That Thinks They're Being Creative!

Kyle the Girl

I love people who come up with uncreative team names, then can’t take a joke when I make fun of it for the next two hours. Yeah, that’s right, we had a “My Couch Pulls Out But I Don’t” at quiz this evening. Hate to break it to you, but that is the lamest, most uncreative team name in the world. Oh, you’ve been using it for ten years? Then it’s ten years out of date. On the Quizmaster boards (yes, we have forums where we just complain about you) it’s maybe the most talked about topic. And we all HATE it. Stop thinking you’re “creative” because you’re not.

Other quiz musings:

This girl keeps looking at me like I’m speaking German and she’s trying to interpret it. Seriously, this goes on the whole night.
We should all watch more YouTube videos
Apparently my quizzers had nothing they’re trying to tell us…as evidenced by Round 2
I’m not sure who doesn’t know the most famous line of Gone with the Wind, as it’s been spoofed in practically every medium, but sadly there were plenty who just didn’t give a damn
The Liberty Bell was a gift from England, that broke…do you think they were still bitter about 1776?
Michelle Obama apparently uses vegetables to battle Human Society…sounds like a good comic book story
Hoover wasn’t assassinated…but I’m guessing it wasn’t because people didn’t try
So close to 100% on the celebrity causes round, if only we’d realized that Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project was a foundation supported by Charlize Theron
Someone thought McLovin from Superbad was actually named Kyle…should I be flattered or repulsed?
Apparently we don’t watch enough animal related children’s TV
Who knew you could win $1 million on Wheel of Fortune?
It’s pretty fitting that we ask a View Askewniverse question the week Kevin Smith finishes writing Clerks 3 (the movie)

Best moment of the night: As I was reading the scores from the first break I skipped over the “My Couch” team, simply calling them “The lamest team name in the world.” As I got to the first place team in the standings, the leader of the Couches started celebrating, before I read the first place team. He looked at me confused at which point I said I refused to read his team name because it was old, unoriginal, and lame. I thought his early celebration however was priceless and I had to document it here.

It’s summer time, which means we have a lot of new teams showing up to play. To my regulars, get to quiz early, and make advance preparations if you can’t be. Not that we don’t love our virgins and newbies, but we love our regulars too. Also, now that it’s stopped snowing you really have no excuse not to leave the house. So until next time, you stay geeky Freshcraft.

In Which I Revisit My Childhood

Kyle the Girl

How does no one remember the Sideways Stories from Wayside School? The school that was accidentally built 19 classrooms tall instead of 19 classrooms at ground level in a row? This question got me so many dirty WTF looks…I wasn’t really sure what to do. And to follow that up with a question about Harry Potter. I thought the quizzers were going to walk out on me. Luckily they didn’t, but man, were they confused. Worst round of the night was the Kids TV Theme Song round…I mean sure, you don’t watch kids TV now, but most of these shows were mid/late-90s. F---Blues Clues and Dora, this is Magic School Bus and Wishbone!

Other random thoughts from quiz:

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Anna Paquin was in Jurassic Park…and then won an Oscar for her performance?
Babysitters Club was far superior to Sweet Valley High (which I never read)
When in doubt, guess “Stairway to Heaven"
The song “Strokin’” (yes about masturbation) was commonly mistaken for “Let’s Hear it for the Boys” which isn’t about masturbation, but is still a funny mix up when you look at it
If only the Houston Rockets made it to the play offs… oh that’s hilarious
Kate Winslet gets naked a LOT

I’m a little appalled at the number of teams this evening who were so stumped by the questions that they threw up their hands in exasperation. I’m even more appalled that by the end of the night, those acts of disgust proved themselves to be mostly unfounded. Okay maybe zodiac signs aren’t your thing, but you know when you were born, right? So you’ve probably heard someone tell you your sign at least once in your life…so then you can rule that out. Or the team that just gave up on the Master P.M.S. before and after round? That was the best round of the night (average score 7) and you just said “F--- that!” That’s why you’re in last place, you didn’t even try.

Hopefully this will be a lesson to new/returning teams. A bad guess is better than no guess at all. And if you think about it you can probably figure out the theme. And we’re really not all out to “get you” or make you feel “worthless.” We’re out to have a good time. And if you have a problem with that!.... you can suggest your own rounds on our website.

Until next week, you stay geeky Freshcraft.
