An unCOMMONly good time was had by all at the Common Ground last night.

I hope you like that little taste of cheese, because I am taking my new quiz MASTER status in a Doctor Who direction and will soon be angling for world domination. My first grasp at power with the Common Grounders and the beers who love them was a night to remember, with Ron Paul's Boutique and Rainbow Unicorns coming head-to-head in a dance off which I can only describe as disturbingly erotic. Rainbow Unicorn's faithful flashdancer carried the day and they were crowned the victors while the Boutiques vowed to headbang their way to number one next week.

It was an intimate gathering, with the ladies of Dutch Oven stealing my heart and the reckless abandon of the Love Themes audio round that had Ron Paul's Boutique locked in a frantic make-out session. We also heard and mocked some Jesus themed parodies of popular songs that put the dumbing down of Kids Bop to shame. I refuse to read anything into the fact that a car alarm went off outside the window and a giant gust of rain soaked the quiz master station while we were guffawing at these Godly rewrites. If the big guy had it out for us, it would have involved 100 percent more pestilence.

Even though I was concerned for the youth of America when some of the horror movie haikus went unsolved (Is it too early to organize a bar wide sleepover / horror movie marathon with you guys?), they were horror movie haikus! I was in heaven. And with Game of Thrones AND Parks and Recreation related team names, how could I not be? Everyone was very gentle and they made my first time super special. Thanks nerds. See you next Tuesday.

The sad truth behind my existence (or at least one of the sad truths) is that I was born in Brockton, MA. I try very hard to hide my Boston accent because I think it makes people sound like assholes. Try as I might to hide it though, it always comes out when I'm drinking, and I like to drink. Fehk, kehd.

Most importantly, I am, you guessed it, a geek who drinks. And you know what? I think that makes me a very special person. Feel free to disagree. But know that you'll never win a blessed thing from me if you do.

Thanks to everyone for coming out last night to a rainy, smelly Allston. Here's what happened:

It would have been an utter shame if Wettest In The Building erred in their labial knowledge in round 1. It's a good thing we didn't have to go there. Nicely done!

Where The Mild Things Are touted an impressive perfect score in round 2. With a joker played, you were obviously getting your skank on!

It seems that Vegas, Baby! has spent too much time in hangover mode. Your knowledge of "Which Came First" in round 3 was just... not good.

Useless earned their name in round 4, a round on "Mything Persons." I'm not sure how you thought that "paste" was the name of a mythological weapon.

We're Only Here For The Free Water didn't even try to answer the visual round, and earned only 1 point, as opposed to Seth Green Is People, who answered all 8 questions, and still only earned 1 point. The moral of the story? Never try.

Please Don't Go. We'll Eat You Up. We Love You So. clearly spends a good portion of the day in Imaginationland. With a perfect score in round 6, I'm curious as to how you people hold down jobs.

Mango, a late-coming team, put the rest of you to shame in round 7 with their knowledge of “Poor Boy/Rich Girl” movies. The rest of you, hang your heads in shame.

We’re Only Here For The Free Water ended up staying, despite the beverage issue. Nice try in round 8, but your random knowledge is not to be envied.

I wish I could say that I’m so impressed with the incredible high scores that we saw last night, but I’d be lying. It’s just obvious that you all don’t get out much. Neither do I, apparently, which is why I still like you. See you guys next week for some more FREE BEER, gift certificates, and a ridiculous prize that you know you want!

Where the hell did you all come out from last night? Anyways, here's your bloggy-thing.

In our first round, we learned about pros and cons. I'm both surprised and annoyed that so many of you know Fiona Apple's music. And apparently, she's recording again, so watch out.

Fistulas of Fury said it right on their round 2 answer sheet, "We are too old!" With only 2 points earned in this round, I think this is the lowest score I've ever seen on round 2 audio.

Impressive work on round 3, Turducken! You were up with your list of most exclusive schools in America in under a minute, with a near-perfect score to boot. No community college for you!

I stand by my original comment from round 4: Knowing Pagliacci does not earn you any points outside of this quiz. NB: Geek points generally accompany social awkwardness.

Chaz Boner, in addition to handing in a beer-soaked and torn answer sheet for the visual round, you earned only 3 points. For the record, handing in a beer-soaked and torn answer sheet is perfectly acceptable, and even commendable, if you earn a higher score.

We Came Late has absolutely no excuse for not knowing what the hell a period is. With a name like that, all you get from me is mockery. Three women on your team – are you sure you’re not in “Transvaginal Ultrasound?”

Thanks to QM-in-training, Gaby, for reading round 7. And shame on you all for not knowing your Morgan Freeman movies. I mean, seriously. Go home and think about it.

We saw some nice, high scores in our final round. Thanks for that, because it resulted in a tiebreaker dance-off between My Mic Doubles As A Strap On and Wonder Twin Powers. Obviously, Wonder sent their secret black weapon up to take this on. Nicely done to both teams for humiliating one of your team members.

See you all next week, when I’ll be back to give away BEER, gift certificates, doses of sarcasm, and more BEER!
