Ummm, well I do because it was last night at Hburger.  We had quite the showing of people-who-Jeanette-gives-a-shit-about in the crowd!  Logan was there, so be a total and complete asshole and make my job a little more difficult.  My amazing trainer from almost 3 years ago, Krista, showed up with her smarts and sass-- Leslie Krupa.  Matt joined them later, but the ladies weren't really havin him take any credit for their kick-assery.  God Shave the Queen was compiled of many of my dear friends in the comedy world joined by my favorite regulars, and Succulent Pain showed up halfway through, just in time to get a question about Queen Latifah right.

It was a great night for quizzin too!  We had an awesome turnout despite the crazy weather.  I'd say most teams struggled through the music audio round and Round 6: Some Assembly Required, left a pained look on many team's faces.  BUT! I loved all of it, and I love YOU!  Oh, sorry, I tend to get sentimental when I have a good night of quiz (which usually entails lots of awesome players, a really delicious dinner, and Natalie making me fun drinks that I could never replicate at home. Oh! And Calla feeding me shots like it's going out of style). 

Kevin was working last night, which, if any of you follow my blog, you know this pleases me immensely.  He was there to laugh at my bad jokes, play back on my obscure references, and jam the SHIT out of my silly playlist.  But, our friendship has taken a turn for the worse, for !LAST NIGHT! we had a two way tie for second, only to be decided in a two-part haiku challenge!  One team sang my praises and brought and AMAZING callback with the suggestions of face and time-- whilst the other sang the praises of Kevin, for he truly is the shit.  BUT! The audience was polled after hearing the amazing haikus (see below), and though it was a close call, in the end Logan held the sass that broke the QMs back, and I knocked his ass down to 3rd!!!!....even though he was the one who....sang my praises.  It was a conflicting choice, but I believe I have chosen wisely.And so too, have the people who come to play Geeks Who Drink at Hburger, for it is a glorious match of with and endurance.  Ok, I'm done using dramatic old englishy tone, now back to my Cheetos and Yoohoo.  Catch you all next week, YAHOOOOOOO!

Two Haikus by Happy Hippos Have Hoola Hoops

I like Jeanette's face

It is so very pretty

But also SNATCHFACE!

What the fuck is time?

Time keeps on slipping, slipping

Into the future

Two Haikus by God Shave the Queen

Sweet Sweet Grandma

I will punch you in the face

You smell like cabbage

Only two hours

Delicious burgers and booze

Kevin is the Shit!

Every once in a while a young woman who aspires to make her life's work in performing for people.  Sometimes her own material, and sometimes that created by others, and MORE times than not it's pieces that are unrehearsed and made up collaboratively as it is happening.  Last night, like every quiz night, I got to perform someone else's material (some is mine as I am a writer), but it was extra special in Round 1: Serious Games when I got to live inside board games for a moment as the characters talking about them.  Don't tempt me to do a British accent, cause I'll do it!!  Cassie was kind enough to probe me into a Russian accent at the end of that round, I was scared to do it but I'm glad she pushed for it.  

Fun Quiz last night folks!  Some people still think the Soviet Union and Czechloslavakia are countries, and that's ok!  As long as you have a clear opinion on Weed Civil Unions, whether for or against, you're ok in my book.   

Calla went ahead and put up the definition for me, or wild, up on our facebook page, which you can go to and "Like" right meow:  LIKE ME! I'd love to know which of the choices you think fits me best, as I will be shaping the rest of my adult life based on those answers.  ALSO! THANK GOD THE MEMBERS OF George Zimmerman: "I Could Just Kill For Some Skittles" pointed out to me that Holland and The Netherlands are, IN FACT, the SAME PLACE! If they hadn't, the MAY NOT have won by 6 points and stayed in the lead throughout the whole quiz.  And, they can't be bothered to pay an extra 20 cents on the meter to all receive a cash prize, that's just ridiculous :o)

Jokers were used all over the place, a good maneuver for Justin Bieber's Missed Period, as the bumped into the money at the final showdown.  Hallway Hotdog Throwdown forgave me for butchering the story behind their name when I was wasted face a few weeks ago, thanks guys!!!!  They also took home some of the monies.  Kevin was working, oh how I've missed him!!! He loves my cynicism on a level that everyone should, except most people are too stupid to.  It's ok, they make helmets for you when you have to go in the car.   

Love Quiz! Love Life! Love YOU!!! 

In a world...where the weather can be 80 degrees one day, and then piss on your the following day.  A President of a country will visit a metropolitan city in the Southwest (?), but QUIZ WILL STILL GO ON! It started as a regular hump day, the burgers were hot and juicy, the milkshakes steaming with nitrogen. Who would have ever guessed that this night would be the night that...

Ok, I ran out of pretending to be a trailer for a movie, that's all I got. Yay Quiz!  This week is the launch of our Geeks Who Drink-Hburger Facebook page, go check it out! And then, go like the SHIT out of it! And then!  Keep coming to quiz and maybe when my monkey brain figures out how to use the interwebs for music stuff, I'll make a playlist on Spotify that you can put songs you want to hear at quiz onto.  Man! Shit's getting nuts!  

Ok, quiz was fun last night.  Momo Mojito held the lead for well, the whole fuckin burrito (that's New Mexican for time).  I convinced team 1 to play with all their might, despite the trouble they had understanding certain themes for rounds.  WZAZ: Where Disco Lives Forever! came back after a week off from the liquid lungs (that's the opposite of iron lung, also known as pneumonia). Welcome back guys!  Alex took home a mini squirrel cup for his squirrel at home (also known as his penis).  Obama didn't show up, what a jerk.  Hopefully he was too busy making pot legal or something...

See ya on the other side of the Hump!
