 		Bryan (Resident Egon)

Born on a mountaintop in NYC, crowdedest place in the land of the free. Moved cross the country just tryin' to see, come to California when he was only 3.

Bryan, Bryan the Quizmaster. Duke of the wild frontier. (I wouldn't want to be King...too many assassination atttempts)

A powerful contention of the nerd kind met in Downtown Long Beach  this evening. A veritable army of quiz teams sat a various tables in The Auld Dubliner, put up with my nonsense, and made sense of 8 rounds to come out winners, losers, and …others…yeah…others.

A little drunken action, a suicide reference, and someone filled with baby batter almost baked. It was lovely as always to see those faces etched into my memory with a white hot soldering iron, but it’s also so nice to meet all the new folks who’ve just stumbled across our Quiz Cave. I asked you all to be creative as you could in those team names, so let’s reveal to the world the fruits of your labors:

  • The Lesbian Bondage Fiasco
  • The Baby Eating Dingoes
  • Nipple Concussion
  • What is this, I don't even…
  • Mickey!
  • British Fascist Paddies

We had some rises, some falls, and a grand mixup in Round 8 as always. Random means random people! Let’s go over a recap of tonight’s rounds.

Round#1 could be only one

Round#2 shone light into the darkness

Round#3 asked the simplest of all questions, “Can I fuck her here?”

Round#4 kept us abreast of the actions of #julia

Round#5 was one small element of the game(I thinks I’m being funny here…)

Round #6 was a good guy. Round six was a good guy.

Round#7 remixed some great beloved tv themes into a variety of styles. I told you people, a couple teams answered The Real Ghostbusters…I can’t give you credit then for just Ghostbusters.

Obviously Round#8 was Random Knowledge and as usual…6.3 on the richter scale and kaboom we have new standings in the final.

It’s all fun and games until the flying monkeys come and steal someone’s left eyeball, so eventually a winner simply had to be declared:

  • In 3rd – Nipple Concussion/Confusion/Cunnilinguation
  • In 2nd – The baby Eating Dingoes
  • In 1st – The Lesbian Bondage Fiasco

 I’d like to thank everyone in the bar who makes this kind of a Monday night possible, especially me. I couldn’t have done it without myself. Until next week, my beautiful freaky fun-bots!

Tuesday nights at the Auld Dubliner in Long Beach! 		Miles (Miles)

Miles got a college degree in acting, and look at him now! He's deftly avoided the pitfalls of riches and fame, and is still keepin' it real. So very real.

You can see him many weekends playing in Fullerton's beloved Improv Shmimprov comedy group.

Periodically, you can catch his work as a long time member of Rogue Artists Ensemble, bringing you masks, and puppets, and god-only-knows what else.

He's also currently the merch guy for the groundbreaking art-rock outfit known as The Residents.

He does parties, bar mitzvahs, weddings and what-have-you. Just don't ask what he does at them.

My new suspicion is that you're all secretly sharks.

We've gone from regular top scores of over 70 points each week to barely topping 50. I mean, it's still exciting and all; you're still neck and neck, but you're getting your asses handed to you by the past versions of yourselves.

Maybe you're just getting less smart - it does happen. But if I'm right, and you're all working to lull each other into a false sense of security, all I can say is: well played. You're being very convincing.

Haikus, states, and popular music; your cover remained intact through all of those. Gary Busey vs. Mel Gibson? You did significantly worse than if you'd all flipped coins, with an average score of less than 2. At that point, I have to start wondering whether you're doing it on purpose. What other explanation is there?

You brought your scores up a little bit in a round about fictitious islands, but still couldn't resist throwing in deceptive little wrong answers. You pretend to think Cape Cod is made up... I see through your lies.

But then you broke. You couldn't resist showing off when it came to dead musicians and ridiculous puns on video game titles. You fell for the bait. This is how I know you're all sharks.

And after 8 rounds, 5 More Minutes and Yeehaw had sharked their way into a tie for third. In honor of round one, we had a haiku-off. One and a half minutes to come up with a haiku about the night's quiz, and may the best haiku win.

5 More Minutes went with a booze-themed haiku, always a good tactic:

Muddle my brain up

like mint in a mojito

I hate trivia

Yeehaw ran with the cock-themed question from R8, and managed to work in a theme of nature (traditional in a haiku):

The Glorious Cock

How the Cock Fights Hard and Long

In the forest shade

Yeehaw's haiku won them third by dint of positivity and cock. That put our team name bonus point winner, Drawing Parallels Between Super Mario Bros and The Great Gatsby, and other reasons why I'm on academic probation (apparently a true story) squarely into second.

And our night's champions, Crackas Wit' Attitude (who incidentally didn't do so well on our 4-point question about crackers), couldn't help themselves. They had to write a haiku too.

Miles the Quizmaster

He love himself the loner

it's okay, my friend

Yes, that's right. They turned in extra credit work. They're those kids. But they won. Because they're terrible at being sharks. We'll see who's the worst shark next week. See you then!

Every once in a while, we've gotta throw a quiz at you at which you will fail. Fail miserably and gloriously. Fail in a way that redefines failure and makes your previous failures seem like successes.

You're all smart folks. We recognize this. You do well at quizzes. Sometimes topping 80 points. We're all very impressed. Buuuuuuuut you're getting maybe a little overconfident. So we've gotta throw something tougher at you. Suddenly: HARD QUIZ! BIFF! TOP SCORE OF 54! BAM! NOT A SINGLE PERFECT SCORE! ZOW!

We started you off with a band in R1. It's Not Easy Being Green, and it's also apparently not easy achieving an average score higher than 4. It's okay, though, you've gotta pace yourselves. You wouldn't want to use up your entire allotment of correct answers right up front. So let's move on.

And in R2 (Fast Food Nation) you had an average score of 7! See, that's an improvement! As long as you ignore that it's a 7 out of 16. Willful ignorance is the best kind of bliss.

It turns out, though, that you've been wasting your lives in just the right kind of way for R3, and you were able to name most of the Emmy-winning game shows that have ever existed. The irony is that if this had been a game show on any subject other than game shows, you would have been laughed off the set.

With a round 4 about the number 6, you could have gotten confused. That's a lot of numbers to deal with. You pulled through, though, and I'll say this much for you: you finished the round! GOOD JOB.

I think that the visual round on license plates might have been our lowest score ever. But it was all worth it for the anguished screams that came from my quizzers when I pointed out that the license plate from Pennsylvania that said BING! was clearly Ned Ryerson from Groundhog Day. Well, it was worth it to me.

And again you demonstrated that the type of game you're best at is when it's a game about games. Our R6 on old-school video games was the only round other than 3 where you averaged higher than 50%. I'll bet if I gave you a calculus test, you'd fail, but if I gave you a test about calculus tests you'd ace it.

Okay, that didn't make a lot of sense. Whatever. Move on with your life.

R7 was Halle Berry movies. You didn't do great. No big loss.

R8 was notable in that I awarded the first bonus point for a joke answer I've given in at least six months. Those bonus points only go to answers that actually make me laugh. And I'm a tough damn audience.

Question #4: Before their gospel-writing careers took off, what did Luke, Matthew, and John do for a living, respectively?

The point-winning answer:

And the team who took that bonus point was team Propel, who managed to miss the first two rounds and still take 3rd place. With a 9-point lead over the 2nd place team, maybe that bonus point didn't do them a whole lot of good. But it's the thought that counts.

2nd place went to team Shot for Shot Remake of Blade Runner Starring Keanu Reeves in Every Role, who got the best team name bonus point despite making me type that whole damn name out. Also notable is the fact that team Shot for Shot was just one damn guy. Ron maintained his standards of at least 50 points per quiz. Lucky him that everybody else lowered their standards for the night.

And our grand prize winners for the night, pulling out a one point lead in the final round, was Quizn't it Ironic. The lead would have been bigger if it weren't for Mr Play-it-safe's fear of flying.

You get it? Because in pop psychology, "fear of flying" describes a fear of success, and in the Alanis Morrissette song, Mr Play-it-safe... you know what. I think I'd better cut my losses on this one.

Maybe next week's quiz will be easier. Maybe you'll be smarter. No promises either way.
