Pasquini's (DTC) - Wednesday 7:30p 		Nate ()

Nate claims to be a nerd, not a geek (though he doesn't quite understand the difference). He reads graphic novels, is a walking IMDb, watches "Lost" on repeat, and enjoys a good reimagining (looking at you, BSG) but hates when George Lucas messes with the OT. 

A couple of months back when the new trailer for Man of Steel hit, I was in awe. It looked like the Superman movie we've (and by we, I strictly mean comic book geeks) craved for so long. Not Richard Donner's good, but boring Superman of the 70s (yeah, I said it) or Bryan Singer's obnoxious, I'm-not-going-to-lay-a-fist-on-a-single-bad-guy-but-I-will-lift-this-planet-sized-piece-of-kryptonite-because-that-makes-sense 2007 Superman Returns (granted, Brandon Routh was ingenious casting). Instead, it looked to be a balls-to-the-wall Superman: a Superman for the era of The Dark Knight.

So, I purposefully stayed away from all trailers and advertisements from that point forward and bought tickets to a midnight showing. And I was excited. My expecations were through the roof. 

And then the reviews came pouring in. Right now, as I write this blog, Man of Steel holds a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 55% on Metacritic. UGH. That hurts. Now, granted, reviews are opinions, but these opinions seem to be aligned with eachother: MEH. And now my expectations are humbly bounded back on the earth. Maybe I should've tempered them before?Afterall, this is a Zach Snyder film (Sucker Punch is terrible, but I actually enjoy the shit out of Watchmen). But maybe this isn't a bad thing. Maybe now I can walk into that movie theater and not expect this to be the best fucking movie of our generation. Maybe I can just walk into this movie and see what it does for me.

Or maybe it will suck.

Like that hockey game.

Or Tom Brady.

Or (Ostrich Noises). (Love you guys!)

Last night we had a hearty turnout. Many teams lost. Newcomers won.

In third place, we had I Walk Fancy in my High-Helled Cowboy Boots which I can only assume is some sort of country music reference that I don't understand. But hey! You won third place! Second place went to What's Your Favorite Subreddit, Quizmaster? the team that sat behind me and could see my computer screen! And to answer their question, r/mildlyinteresting is probably my favorite, which, in itself, is mildly interesting. And in first place, we had two new comers by the name of Come Buy Us a Drink. My answer was no.

 

Hoorah!

Monday nights at Tellers Taproom 8 PM, Tuesday nights at The Glenn 8PM 		Jeremy (Jeremy)

Hello, my name is Jeremy and I'm a geek who drinks. What does it mean to be a geek who drinks? I have random knowledge on things like music. I can quote Pulp Fiction like it's no one's business. On my GPS Darth Vader tells me where to go. That's the fun part. The bad part is I also drink. When I drink, I write blogs that have the word "fuck" in it a lot. I make up stories of things that happened in my mind. I also delete my own bio and really don't remember doing it. Thankfully though, I never sucked dick for coke. That was Bob Saget. 

The moral of the story, it's ok to be a geek who drinks, in fact I encourage it. I encourage you to come down to my venue on a Monday or a Tuesday and drink it out with me. I'll quiz you, you give me right answers, and don't be a dick and shout anything out. 

Tonight I filled in for Nate. He had to take a trip to Mexico. You see, Nate found out about Geeks Who Drink doing a "Rumble in the Pub" and he didn't want to be unprepared. Nate took the first flight out of Denver and went to Mexico where he's learning the art of knife fighting. Last I heard, he's killed three people so far, and has stab wounds up and down his chest. Little do his opponents know, being a Quizmaster is like being kin to Chuck Norris. That shit gives you superpowers. While he's taken multiple stab wounds, most of them healed almost instantaneousley. The only thing he needs to learn now is speed, and how to block when someone comes at him. I don't have the heart to tell him that the "Rumble in the Pub" is actually a regional competition between quizzers. Have you signed up yet to be in it? You should go do that now. There is still plenty of time to be the very best. Click on the Rumble in the Pub link on the home page and sign up immediately. You don't have to train to be a knife fighter like Nate is doing. 

 

You guys were a true pleasure to host tonight. I might have given you shit for all the repeats but at the end of the day, I really don't mind. I know that it was a bit noisy in there. We had 16 teams come out to play tonight. That's a great start to summer. I'm sure Nate will want to see even more of you in the coming weeks. 

 

Congrats to Post ComicCon Depression, I comes before U, and Darling, Stop talking about Game of Thrones who came in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively with third place taking the dance off from Boner Doners. 

 

Nate will be back next week.

If I look like an English teacher, what does that mean? Is it my beard? My hair? Or is it the fact that I compliment people on their copies of The Giver (and judge the waitstaff who judge them for having a copy of The Giver at a bar)? And yet, someone asked if I was a Social Studies teacher. To which I reply... Really?

Anyway, here's your shout out, Hulk Hogan. They were a team made up entirely of teachers and they were celebrating their first day of summer break.

Lucky bastards. Can you believe that they get summer off four days before I do? Dammit. This time next week I'll be drinking margaritas by a pool or playing Skyrim while eating Cheetos or something like that.

So, I've always known Leonard Cohen sang "Hallelujah" originally. However, I hadn't known what his original version sounded like until sometime during Round Seven. Minds were blown. People were shouting. Watchmen (both graphic novel AND the motherfucking movie) still kicks ass--deal with it.

"So, who won?" you ask. Well, according to the scoresheet Pronounced With Umpty came in first place by a long shot, while Peace, Love, and Churros came in second with Brown Chicken, Brown Cow in third. Hoorah!

And that's that. See you on the otherside of finals, quizlings. SUMMER BREEEEEEAK!
