With references to Hitchhiker’s Guide, tig ol’ bittys, some advice for JFK a little too late, and a love that dare not speak its name, it was a night packed with confusion, comedy, and calamitous carousing. Tiny words, tiny states, and a tiny but talented fat blonde man. And since you demanded it after round 7, ["The Suck Zone". It's the point basically when the twister... sucks you up. That's not the technical term for it, obviously.]
The Angels lost, but the hitchhikers won, and I think we even had the press out tonight. 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:
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 was Um…um….oh yeah…it was Um…
Round#2 declared you to be dead. We even had a Warrant song. Too soon?
Round#3 was looking for Rhode Island or Connecticut. I swear I didn’t do a Peter Griffin imitation…
Round#4 brought us 2 for the price of one. With only a handful of last names in the world there were bound to be a limited number of answers.
Round#5 is all about knowing your standup. Everyone knew that squinty-eyed loudmouth Gottfried, but no one knew Josh Blue. Guess someone needs to take out a policy from AFLAC.
Round #6…shhhh…don’t tell anyone..but I actually DO like musicals…
Speaking of Round#6, the email bonus question this week:
What card did Cliff Burton pick? Ace of Spades
Round#7 gave us 8 samplings of one man, all of them overweight.
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:
I’d like to thank everyone in the bar who makes this kind of a Tuesday night possible, especially me. I couldn’t have done it without myself.

Here's to the wine we love to drink, and the food we like to eat.
Here's to our wives and sweethearts, let's pray they never meet.
Here's champagne for our real friends And real pain for our sham friends.
And when this life is over, may all of us find peace.

Tightly contested, and hotly ran it was tonight. Mostly hotly ran...by the time we finished with the quiz at 10pm it was still over 80 degrees outside. Who needs a bucket of water to further the process when you step out of the nicely air condiitoned pub and start melting instantly?
Speaking of hot, have you tried the Spicy Tuna here? Woof! Like a mule kick to the face on a bad day when you just learned some horrible hidden family secret that will forever haunt you and come into the forefront of your imagination at some of the most inappropriate times.
As I said, it was a tight competition with only a handful of nasty hobbitses vying for my precious. The fellowships of the night were of the nomenclature:
Round#1 was On a Roll – All answers as a paper, questions on a list, and I for one am truly sick of all these mothafuckin’ snakes, on this mothafuckin’ plane.
Round#2 was Bearded Bands – I’ve seen the blank stare before(I am a nerd with a tendency to tangentially rant) but never for 8 questions in a row.
Round#3 stated the rules very simply, Two Men Enter, One Man Leaves. Movie…movie…not men. Cause that sounds like…real randy the other way. Of course movie or gigolo you did have to figure out who made more money. Just sing to yourself now, “Goodnight, sweetheart, well it’s time to go…”
I’d like to think we had a Round#4, but I think I only imagined it.
Round#5 exited through the sex shop(ok no the gift shop but I AM writing this at 2 in the morning so thththtpptptpt)
Round#6 was one of those rounds you could bank on. Oh god! I made a funny! Or I made a corny! Hell…laugh or groan I know I got a reaction out of you. Teehee…. Speaking of Round#6, the email bonus question this week:
What Canada-only Pontiac car name was re-used by Nissan starting in 1986? The Pathfinder!
The illustrious Mr. Swanson claimed the mountaintop prize, and the hermit allowed him to walk with some wrapPIng paper...(can we say 2am joke again?)
Round#7 was all about TV Douchebags. Team ‘I was her ride’ claims “The Situation” was a guess, but I know a closet Jersey Shore fan when I’ve been friends with one for almost 20 years.
Obviously Round#8 was Random Knowledge....and boy howdy was this one random...
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:

Good bye for this week, my herd, my flock, my darling little slime-covered toddlers fresh from sewer exploration ecause they heard we all float down there. I leave you with simple words of Irish wisdom. See you in 7 nights!
Here’s to women’s kisses, and whiskey, amber clear. Not as sweet as a woman’s kiss, but a damned sight more sincere!

So like I said Geeks will be moving to Tuesday Nights at the Auld Irisher starting next week.
Sadly I already have a Tuesday night venue so Mr. Bryan Madigian will be taking over for me.
But enough about that lets get back to me.
As you can see, saw in the pictures, and experienced last night I got iced 3 different times.
I fucking hate you all for it but good game folks good game.
I also was the lucky recipient of a "Blowjob" shot courtesy of Ryan Austin...so sick mofo.
So the rounds broke down pretty well.
Round#1 The Dirty 30's also our Bartender Crystal is turning 30 but i was supposed to say anything.
Round# was the colors in a rainbow, and you wise asses also knew what Roy G. Biv was good job.
Round#3 was colleges or something in 2 1/2 minutes
Round#4 Bedlams and bad lambs....my horrible pun is as stated.
"Hmmmm sounds like someones been a Baaaaaaad Sheep" yea that one was for me.
Round#5 they ever popular Kawaii...but in history.
Round #6 Moon mythology. What no mooning for Uranus?
Round#7 was name the state or movie? Just the state or movie.
Round #8 as always is Random Knowledge.
So metal dragon pretty much ruled all night but a few teams kept chipping away at the lead from them.
We had quite a few ties through out the night but it all came down to the end.
We had a tie for second which was decided by a drink off.
It was between "& the Electric Mayhem" and "So long and thanks for the syphilis"
