So, you know how the HandleBar struts that it has Colorado brews and stills exclusively? Well there is this little brewery in Golden that sent some reps to promote Batch 19. They were some pretty awesome people with bonused growlers and samples and pint glasses. Sweet people, and their beer has an interesting taste. Pleasant to my taste buds. They should come back anytime to quiz. Maybe they can bring Pete down to augment their team. I think I would need to bring 5 pairs of undies at least if he did.

Finally we get Josh back with We're not Even Smarter than a Kindergartener (Yes, I know that there are others on his team. I will make a note to learn their names next time). That is the most terrible word to spell correctly. I needed to look it up, and I still get the angry underline of spelling error. My eyes can't catch a problem. Can yours?

Speaking of spelling, Cunning Stunts. Seriously trying to make me say words that might offend people. Stunning. There. I said it.

OMG! Something that we haven't had in ages is a tiebreaker. Kindergartener and The Out of TowNerds faced sudden death. No blood on the laminate flooring, the Nerds took second. We had tiebreakers all the time in the winter. What happened to the closeness? The Nerds are on my bad side now too. Making fun of my dill spear. I don't eat them, and no one would eat mine tonight. Next week perchance?

Black Pearl bribed me to announce a birthday. I am not going to ask this guy how old he is. I will just guess, assume, and judge that for myself. They didn't bribe me for the internet bonus prize. That was just coincidence.

Seriously. District 9 couldn't have a villian, let alone a sequel.

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

So I shut off my computer through the lightning storm last night, and guess what? Click of death on a hard drive. Worst morning ever. My morning goodness scale now ranges from hardware failure to getting breakfast in bed from a cute girl I had sex with the night before. I wish it had been breakfast. HDD is now in the freezer (urban legend or fact? We shall see.), and I found an alternative connection to the stratocumulus to bring my news to you.

Ah the quiz last night. We started a little late because of a bunch of tall guys and squeaky shoes, but the quiz went on to completion. All of you quizzlings are fantastic for opting to last another half-hour because of the late start. That is now bar policy though, so if there are sports finals of any kind that night, go ahead and message me. You can find me on facebook. I am sure to "like" the post, so find me via that. I am always attached to my smart device, and usually in wifi range to pick up those messages. Plus I like the social interaction.

It was good to see the Out of Tow.... I mean Face Eaters tonight. Especially since they told me last week that they were only going to be coming every other week. Sly foxes changed their name and everything to try to make me think they were a different team. Ditched for the Rocks, and not Even the Real Ones was another "once in a fortnight" team that came two weeks in a row. Real mature.

I returned the glass to Planet Express because they left without it last week, and I know that everyone wants limited edition GWD paraphernalia. Yes, I had to look up that word. No idea it had a silent p in the middle.

I completely shocked 100 Beers of Solitude when I called them by name. Totally went to middle school with two of them, and high school with one of them. I love how disarming this job can be. Kitten Mittens!! Part Deux were not as far away tonight, but still insisted that I take a picture of them as far away as possible and use red to encircle their team. I would have it no other way.

Concrete Shoes was the first team I've ever had that asked me not to steal their soul for the blog. Anonymous interactions at a bar perchance? We will never know, too much forensic contamination. It took me forever to get the entire team of William Shatner Face toghether for a photo. "Our whole team isn't here yet," "They just ran to the bathroom." Petty excuses when this blog is always entertaining, and they need to have their pictures on a reputable site on the internets. I share the same birthday with one of them, as well as the waitress. That is the most fantast day to be born.

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

I said I would look it up, and Denver County is tiny compared to El Paso that encompasses a huge area including Colorado Springs. That makes a lot of sense. I was also going to look up the phonetic alphabet. It is the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. We were both partly right, at least according to Wikipedia. Trust that information as you will.

It was good to see the Out of TowNerds rise to the top again. Planet Express also in the top 3 and some newcomers Drink Spike Drink. Someone needs to serve these guys some humble pie though. I Just Shat in Wells Fargo has the potential after doing very well at other venues. I was in shock to hear that they were in the money at the Irish Snug. That is a tough croud to quiz with.

I managed to guilt Queen's Jubilee into playing by telling them that they should on the mic. That is the best form of peer pressure. It is like pressuring someone to accept their lottery winnings, or inheritance, or something else good. And I wish that masturbation was a widespread tradition. It does need a special name for it because it probably is widespread, and a tradition.

Everyone was glad to know that Geeks is always hiring. Feel free to go here if you are interested.

On a more serious note, (quiz is perpetually serious, even with the comedy. Serious comedy) I need to apologize for the offensive racial slur. As a bar decision, we are cutting out all inappropriate language. Thanks for letting us know at the HandleBar. Keeping quiz awesome.

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