It's pretty cool when you can rope a famous person into doing your bidding. Especially when that person is Jeopardy superhero and multimillionaire Ken Jennings and not... Oh, I dunno... Terrell Owens. But Ken's a friend of the Geeks Who Drink family, and was more than happy* to record last night's Round 6 about Alex Trebek and lesser game show hosts. We in return are happy to remind you all that his amazing book Maphead is now available in paperback. But because I love you, I linked you to the hardcover edition which is currently cheaper on Amazon. Go figure.

* - After only a few hours with a car battery jumper cabled to his nipples.

There were of course 7 other rounds as well last night, not the least of which was the Apologetix round "Jesus Told Me to Write Crappy Covers." They're on Spotify. They churn out more autotuned music than the Glee kids. And their lyrics are so bad they're good. Or maybe so good they're bad. I never know which of those two is proper to use for a given emotion. All I know is I laughed a little too much for my spiritual wellbeing, but as was pointed out on our Facebook page "at least we know we'll be in hell with the rest of our Quiz-mates."

After a very solid performance by several teams (FIVE jokered 16s!) on Round 2, it was neck and neck for much of the rest of the night. Only two points separated first place and $50 to Rock Bottom winners The Baby Seal Club and fourth place finishers The One Percent and Cheers to MCA & Maurice, They Fought for Our Right to Rumpus. Between those teams were Stephen Hawking's Handcrafted Sextopus and Brendan's a Dick (Circumcized of Course), who faced off in a luck-of-the-draw tiebreaker from the stack o' cards. They dodged the danceoff bullet, and wound up in a Math-off instead. After determining who knew more digits to Pi, it was Brendan's a Dick bringing home the $25 second place finish and Stephen Hawking taking third and a $15 prize.

Don't forget! In two weeks on May 23 we'll be celebrating our 1-year quiziversary at Rock Bottom, which will be a special occasion for the ages. Mark your calendars now - you do not want to miss this one!

Another Wednesday come and gone, another great evening with friends and beer at Rock Bottom Bellevue! After a slightly late start due to the networking folks, we dove right into quiz and covered off on all sorts of your favorite topics. Extreme covers! Swordfighting! Television shows! Team names about me! OMG MY HAT!

At the end of the night we wound up with a tie, and needed to go to two rounds of tiebreakers to determine the winners. When all was said and done it was More Sports Questions? More Harp Questions? Junior Seau is at Your Service edging out Brendan Loves Cougars for the victory and $50 to Rock Bottom. But Brendan Loves Cougars at least had the $25 second place prize to console them. Also congrats to Seattle Hosts Shittiest Ninja Convention Ever, who finished 3rd and took home some cool Rock Bottom logo swag.

I'll be back soon with the individual round details - hang tight until then.

Dozens of eyeballs see this blog every week. There are mine. There are Jeff's. That's four right there. Then there are the people who get paid to read this blog, making sure I wrote it, or trolling for pictures and highlights to put in Geek in Review. Maybe I tricked you into viewing it by posting the disguised link on Facebook as "OMG deleted scene from Black Swan shows Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in full frontal!" For whatever reason, you're here, and this is my soapbox where I get to say whatever I want, provided I include some sort of odd tangent related to last night's quiz. So this week I'm using it for a public service announcement: Ted Bundy, serial killer, went to the University of Washington.

Parents: Do you want your kids to spend their formative years studying at an institution that produced someone so demented we made a Round 5 meme of him that read "Pulls Mad College Tail / Still Sleeps with Corpses?" And what does that say about the female student body at UW, that they would choose to sleep with a necrophiliac? I should also point out he's not an isolated incident.

Kids: Do you want to run the risk of getting murdered by a psychopath and then having your corpse violated in a tender way? I have no way of knowing for sure*, but I like to think Ted Bundy listened to Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes" while practicing his deeds.

* - I do know for sure, he did not. Hungry Eyes was recorded in '87, and Bundy was arrested in '75. Memorize those for our next Rangefinder History!

Ted Bundy was a Husky. Never forget. And on to the quiz recap!

Last night saw a pretty interesting last few rounds, as a few teams felt confident enough in their round 2 answers to joker, and a few more really dug Rangefinder History (especially The Lone Brainger, whose mastery of dates gave him our first jokered 16 in recent memory). Usually we get a deluge of jokers on either 2 or 8, not even distribution across three double-point rounds. It made for a lot more suspense, especially as out of the top 5 teams, 2 jokered 2, 2 jokered 4 and 1 jokered 8.

At the end of the night though, The One Percent missed out on being tied for first with Do I Pee in the Shower? Well Yeah, it's Kind of Hard Not to When You're Taking a Shit after jokering their 13-score Round 2 instead of their 15-score Round 4, and wound up in third. Sandwiched between the two was Touched By a Brendan and All I Got Was a Rash, who could have had the win outright if they'd jokered their 14-score Round 4 instead of their 13-score Round 8.

Lasty, congratulations to Evan, who is the proud new owner of Bob the Sextopus for winning our email bonus question.
