It was the usual Tuesday night hijinks last night at the Quig, as we had a pretty amusing evening of our knowledge contest (aka epistemology), Geeks Who Drink. All our favorite regulars were there, including Bub Rubs Lil Sis, the oft-victorious of late Comes From Behind, the always tenacious No Knows, the good ol’ People on the Corner, the one-woman powerhouse Wanted: Legal Eagle at Sebben and Sebben and the inimitable Ireland vs Italy. Also, newcomers Mussell Ratt.
We had a pretty easy Haiku round. We had a painful Apologetix cover round. We tried and failed to find something that lasted a shorter amount of time than Kim Kardashian’s marriage.
Oh, and as it turns out, when you ask people what Rhode Island’s full, eight word name is, these are the kind of answers you get (many of which, you’ll notice, don’t have 8 words):
Bub Rubs Lil Sis: Her Majesty, Royal State of Rhode Island
People on the Corner: The Commonwealth of this State of Rhode Island
Wanted Legal Eagle: The Peaceful and Serene Commonwealth of Rhode Island
Comes From Behind: The Most Beautiful and Tranquil State of Rhode Island
Mussell Ratt: The Great State of Rhode Island, Yeah Bitch!
Ireland vs Italy: The Great Fucking State of Rhode Island
…So in summation, great Tranquil and Serene Fucking Job, you guys! See you next week!

Paddy O Quigley’s was jumping last night as eight teams fought it out for Geek dominance. We started out with a peculiar round called The End is the Beginning, full of words that begin and end with the same letter. Like, uh… “Labial”. Everyone did pretty well on the round, as well as on the next two: an audio round full of ska covers, and a “Which Came First” round where the odds of guessing every question correctly turned out to be 50%.
Quiz regulars Comes From Behind joined us, as did Round Ate. Ooooooh Hartzlers (sometimes called the Royals of Trivia) arrived with a team double the usual size. And The Greatest Wild Rumpus of All Began Today, often a solo operation, arrived with reinforcements as well.
All in all it was a pretty mellow quiz as far as difficulty goes. Madame Hartzler walked away with the secret email prize. We drank a buch of beer, ate a bunch of food, got goofy and watched the Royals spank the Boston Bitches. Ultimately, Comes From Behind came from behind with a final round joker to win the whole thing.
It was a lovely time.

Paddy O’Quigley’s was the typical orgy of Guinness and ground beef last night as we had a rousing time discussing the politics of the day and clowns. Five teams duked it out, all regulars. Megan’s one-woman show who tonight she called Sign of the Apocalypse #6-15: The Royals have a Winning Season… Oh, Wait. This rather verbose name was changed after round 2 to #6-16, to stay consistent with the actual Royals, who also dropped to 6-16 during round 3. Speaking of whom, we also were joined, as always, by the Royals of Trivia, who came in fourth. Something we can only dream of the real Royals achieving.
The real fight was between the other three teams, all of whom have had their share of victories in the past. People on the Corner, who won last week, squared off against the previous winners Cums from Behind and the fellas who this week called themselves How Big is Your Anus, a team who have had their share of victories as well.
And as for the quiz itself, I dunno, it was pretty damn good. Everybody did well most of the night, maybe the first audio round was a little harder than usual. The visual round was certainly tough for most. But you guys certainly know your clowns.
In the end, Cums from Behind won by a point. It was pretty dope. Next week will be too, so don’t miss it.
