If I had to guess the types of crazy facts that were in store for the quizzers on this quiz, I never would’ve thought the shapes of different animal genitals would have been on the menu. But hey, this is an adult pub quiz at a bar, so if you weren’t expecting to hear some new graphic information, then welcome to the first time you’ve ever been to a bar! It’s a lot like a playground, but with beer instead of slides. And now that I think about it more, why wouldn’t I expect a question about the type of animal has a two-pronged penis with a vagina to match? That’s the type of embarrassing situation Geeks Who Drinks loves to put us quizmasters in.

The Rio Grande was buzzing this week, and I’m learning that I should be expecting close games every time because the teams are usually just that awesome. Poontang State earned another 1st place winn this week, but by only two points over second place I Choked Linda Lovelace and four points ahead of Queso is a Vegetable in third. In a quiz filed with questions on the periodic table and a whole round of math in Round 3: Little Miss Sunshine is Now Little Miss Legal, I was impressed with how the teams rose to the challenge. Even after a couple of drinks, I probably would’ve given up trying to figure out a girl’s birthday and age, which is probably be why I’ve gotten in so much trouble in the past. Forget I just said that. Still, was anyone else a little put off by trying to figure out if someone is legal to have sex with based on her being born the same day Jon Benet Ramsey’s body was found?

Thanks to everyone for coming out, and remember, coming up on June 4th, the Rio will be hosting the Mad Men quiz. This theme quiz will have a cash prize for the winning team, so hit your old seasons with a bottle of scotch and get yourself prepared.

Later gators!

Two Teams Enter, One Team Leaves! And Then the Next Team Leaves, Because This is Not the Thunderdome.

When I showed up for the quiz this night at the Rio, the crowd was buzzing and the bar was full enough that I barely had room to set up it. So as the crowd kept buzzing away we got started with this round of Geeks Who Drink, just as everyone began to get ready for the concert the were catching later. I didn’t quite catch who was playing, but I was relieved that it wasn’t because I showed up that people started taking off. I swear to god I showered!

Two teams rose to the challenge, Drunk Teachers and Rape and Murder, and as they battled it out those concert-goers who lollygagged joined in to root on their favorite team. I have to say, even if there were only two teams, this was probably the most intense game of Geeks Who Drink that I’ve had the pleasure of quizmastering, as not only did Rape and Murder and Drunk Teachers stay within mere points of each other throughout the evening, they were also raising the challenge bar on each other in the spirit of friendly competition. As Round 6: The Adventures of Crack Man and Donkey Bong, rolled around, I agreed to raise the stakes by offering up recognition points for the best and funniest answers. So not only did we get such weird video game titles such as “Titty Pong Racing” and “Fuck Cunt” (a strange take on Duck Hunt that I’d love to play) but both teams went with “Gangrene Turds” for Angry Birds, proving that great Geek minds think alike.

Thanks to the teams for making this one of the funniest nights at the Rio. Before I forget, for all of you Mad Men fans out there, we will be having the Sterling Cooper Draper quiz coming up soon right here at the Rio Grande on June 4th. Get you scotch and cigarettes ready for this one, folks, because this will have a full-fledged cash prize along with our usually Geeks Who Drink fun. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you guys and dolls there!

I’m out!

The Rio Grande, Now Louder and Rowdier

MoshPanda

The Rio Grande is starting to get a little more rowdy, but that’s all well and good for me, because if Rowdy Roddy Piper didn’t get rowdy every so often, then he would just be Regular Roddy Piper, wouldn’t he? And that’s not the type of man that could wrestle a Kodiak bear or go blow for blow with Keith David in an alley for 10 minutes. Regular Rowdy Piper couldn’t go blow for blow with three chapters of the latest Tom Clancy before taking off his reading glasses and turning off his bed-side lamp, because he has work in the morning. Regular Rowdy Piper is here to chew bubblegum and sit politely, and while he does have bubblegum, he realizes it might be annoying, so he chooses not to chew it now. And if I may, I’d like to say that is bullshit.

Sorry, got off on a little tangent there. Monday night at the Rio was buzzing this time around, with returning champs Poontang State stopping by to put another 1st place Rio gift card into their win column. The S.S. Stands for Social Studies – who came back from showing up a round late – and We Were Late – who actually only missed two questions in the first round, which means I was nice enough to repeat those for them – were close enough behind that they were all within 6 points of each other at the very end. Something Perverted was a one-man team that gave it his best try, even enlisting the aid of Chad the bartender, but he couldn’t place this time around. At least he gave it a shot, compared to Team Dreamteam, who I don’t think was paying attention to when to turn in their rounds. But hey, that’s what makes a night fun and rowdy, isn’t it? We drink and laugh and don’t turn things in on time! Get used to it, society!

Okay, the rowdiness is out of my system. I’ll recharge and see you all next week; in the meantime, you should be getting prepared for the Mad Men quiz coming up on June 4th, which will be held at your very own favorite Rio Grande in LoDo! Excitement will ensue, so get ready by slugging down a scotch on the rocks today at 3.

Until next week, everyone!
Chris
