Quiz Schedule
HandleBar Tavern, Thursdays 8PM. 		Charles (Vertigo Chuck)

I'm Charles, Charlie, Chuck, whatever non-derogatory nickname you can think of for Charles. Even though I started QuizMastering at the HandleBar Tavern in December '11, I have quizzed in dozens of places for years. Our teams never quite won anything, but we always have a good time racking our brains for those little tidbits of info that GWD requires nightly.

I am definitely a geek. That picture is of me swinging from two phonebooks leafed together. Yeah, just like Mythbusters used to make. A physicist by trade, I don my mask and head out into the night partying hard and consuming various social lubricants.

Join me at my quiz and I will try to swoon you with my dulcet tones of vector calculus and Star Wars references. If you are really lucky, catch me with my Rubik's cube and I will get rid of its entropy faster than takes a grown man (or woman) to change a toilet paper roll (or paper towel roll)1.

Gordon Freeman is my hero. For the winter gift-giving season, I want a red crowbar so that I can keep it under my pillow while I sleep.

You know that bad YouTube karaoke is bad when a party that isn't playing wants to leave the bar because of it. It was pretty bad. I was just a little bit better singing those Avenue Q lyrics, but at least I won't ever post my singing on the internets. No one got a 0 on that round though. Quit whining, you guys know this stuff.

Now that school is out for summer, our regular teacher groups came back with new ones... to not be able to read! Two out of the three teacher groups got nothing instead of double on their visual round because of illiteracy. I won't say any jokes about this because better ones have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. Way to go Hot for Teacher and Sooners or Later, I had so much faith in you, but I won't name names.

Interesting fact: Two of our groups had 7 people, Out of TowNerds...Kinda and RDJ Got Paid. Even more interesting fact: They both placed in the top 3 without jokering (because they couldn't use it). I am surprised. Of all the times, I usually see the jokers beat the brute force of a team just one person larger than max. Especially since they all claim that at least one of their members doesn't contribute. It's just like claiming innocence in jail. You are still convicted and still in jail. At least Dog Condoms: Condoms for Dogs came back in stride. Mid-sized team + joker = win.

See you all next week! Same Bat time, same Bat place.

It feeds my ego to see that quiz is more exciting than basketball... at least to some people. Yes, the Nuggets did win by a lot, no Kobe probably didn't hook up with his ex in Boulder (or he did and that's why they lost). Even more amazing, quiz season is all year long, to my knowledge, quizmasters haven't gone on strike, and I don't even have an ex in Boulder who has sued me. GWD 3, NBA 0. There is a clear winner to that contest. Shutout!

Just like tonight. The Big Dirty stole first with a round 8 joker. It is always surprising to see those. It was good to see them again, so it makes me warm and fuzzy inside. All of the teams scored higher than average too (yes I am a nerd and keep track of that stuff). Even our last place tie for 5th. I was especially impressed by Lord Raarrr!!, not only an awesome name, but they provided witty banter in between rounds. Don't tell him I said this, but I never asked how he bent his glasses. Plus it was fun popping your quiz cherry. You guys also would have put my team in last place sadly. That is why I now QM. I don't have to worry about losing all the time anymore. I get to eat, drink, and be merry while doling out the pain I mean questions.

On our alchemist visual round it was funny to hear that our resident chemist in If the Nuggets were any Good, We'd be There could only get the recipes for crack and hydrochloric acid (that mixture also produces the green, poisonous gas, chlorine). I guess he isn't a chemist in the kitchen.

See you all next week! Same Bat time, same Bat place.

Teams needed people who liked dubstep on their teams tonight. I agree that dubstep is a horrible genre that can disappear along with the brain cells of the kids that "dance" to this kind of garbage. They make for fun quiz questions though. I almost like it enough to hear the whole dubstep mixes, but then I remember that I like my eyes where they are and not beneath my fingernails.

As much as teams were ill-prepared for bad music, the low score on that round was a 1. I've scored a 0 on many a rounds at quiz. I guess you have a little of it in you to get it. Even Cat Lady who came in at round 7 managed to get 2. I'm proud of all of you... to a point.

Highlight of the evening, I drop a piece of paper, and end up spilling my beer trying to pick it up. Other highlight of the evening, microphone issues. Everybody got to hear my teacher voice for a few questions while a quizzling (the tall dude with glasses in We Were Late Because We Were Having Sex) was able to snatch a replacement in a scoring break. Beer went to him. Status update: I brought the mic home, took a look at it, couldn't do anything about it, put it back together, works fine. I have a few ideas, but intermittant connections are the bane of my existance. I have a back-up with me now, so that will never happen again.

Even so, you all gave me a big group hug (at least in my head) and got me through my bit of bad luck. We Were Late even invited me to join them next time. I'd rather not be late to the bar, even if it was for sex. It's called a quickie you hippies.

Wooden Spoons enlightened me about their name. Apparently in Britain, if you are the loosingest team at pub quiz, you win the wooden spoon. I enlightened them about the history/stylings of GWD, and I think we can agree that a spoon would be awesome to take a picture with if you lose.

See you all next week! Same Bat time, same Bat place.
