I Am A Man Who Will Fight For Your Cheez Whiz

Randi

When I was in high school, I was a total jackass all the time, so when my birthday was coming up and a few friends were asking what I wanted, I refused to say anything but 'Cheez Whiz'. So my friends got me two cans of pressurized, semi-solid cheese for my birthday and for the next week I ate Cheez Whiz on everything (I'm not a wasteful person, plus I was keeping them in my backpack, unrefrigerated, because my mom woulda totally confiscated it) and I can say from experience that Cheez Whiz on pastries (muffins, donuts, eclairs, cookies) is better than you might think.

Our first round was one of my favorites... Horror Movie Haikus! I'll never pass up a chance to loudly recite terribly restricted poetry to people, so I made sure to repeat the questions as much as possible. Despite my amazingly eloquent delivery, there were some pretty terrible answers... 'Seven Become One' is not a reference to Snow White or Human Centipede. Second round was a continuation of the 'Jesus Told me to Make Lame Parodies' round from last week's Wednesday quiz. Good job everyone being able to recognize songs even if the words are different (hah, just kidding, who listens to words anyways, it's all about DAT BEAT). And round three was a 50/50 type of deal where you had to guess if each of the things that I listed off lasted longer or shorter than Kim Kardashian's marriage. Every answer was longer, everything lasted longer than her marriage, HAHAH DO YOU GET THE JOKE? Apparently not, because everyone screwed up that round by mixing up their answers instead of answering the same thing over and over again.

We brought along our room-mate who is going to be saying goodbye to Seattle this week and just had to experience the magic before leaving... his team name, Gary, From Gary Indiana, is a reference to something that was said in passing once in an episode of Parks and Recreation and has become a common theme around our place, making our homestead infinitely more strange and nerdy than your own, and that is why we rule you once a week. AND YES JAMES, MONTY PYTHON IS 'MORE THAN ONE PERSON'.

Oh, and after getting way too excited over Lindsay Lohan being mentioned in the quiz, I spilled the beans about my Lindsay Lohan fan-fiction... and then had to admit that I wrote it a couple of months ago, and not when I was like, a teenager or something easier for everyone to understand. But I don't care, I'm proud of it and maybe I'll even print it out and pass it around next week. OR maybe I could do something even better... maybe whoever can draw/paint/shop me the best piece of Lindsay Lohan fan-art will win a signed copy of my Lindsay Lohan fan-fiction? I'll float that idea in person next week because I am rambling and I'm sure no one could tolerate reading all of this.

Last night, the beer tokens were PLASTIC DINOSAWRS!!! And Two Companions in Search of a Tardis were desperate to get the whole set, mostly by getting the bonus questions right, but also by doing some sort of shifty trade deal. After getting all of the dinosaurs they topped off their evening with also getting first place and also showing me an illustration of a goat, which I laughed at and genuinely agreed upon its funniness. Menace to Sobriety came in second, probably because they were too busy with motorboating and then yelling about motorboating and being motorboated. Periodic Table Dancers were our third placers and I swear I will prove to you guys that my Lindsay Lohan fan fiction IS REALLY GOOD.

Also, thank you to everyone who sang so tenderly last night, that was lovely. OH HOW CAN I LIIIIIIIVE WITHOUT YOUUUUUU???

Tea Bag Party!

Randi

Apparently all I need to be a total jackass is to pre-game with the biggest Monster energy drink money can buy (BFC!) and a big mug full of Kraken. And that's how I went from reading a question about the Tea Party to yelling at someone for saying "tea bag" to saying "don't put words in my mouth" to saying "don't tea bag my mouth". Fun night! Though, I'm a little disappointed that no one noticed that the unofficial theme for the night was Sifl and Olly, which was the background music (with a few Will Smith tracks thrown in) and the hand-drawn beer tokens (except for the one of a frog, I just like frogs).

Our first round was cross-word style questions... I gave the amount of letters in the one-word answers and then read off the clue to the word. Periodic Table Dancers would have aced this round except for guessing 'Ryder' instead of 'Radar' and Dr Perin thought that a 6 letter word for "lips, wherever on your body they may be" was "supple" . Mmmm, supple lips.

Then there were our ska-covers round where quizzers had to identify the song title and original artist. Despite everyone moaning and making a fuss the second the word 'ska' left my supple lips, all y'all did pretty well on the round, and two teams aced it; Periodic Table Dancers and The Artist Formerly Known as My Couch Pulls out But I Don't. Whoo, that's more of a mouthful than a mouth full of tea bags! Both teams jokered that shit, too, which is probs why they ended up tying for first... Too bad though that, for first place, we have to tie-break the official way, otherwise I totally would have made them have a skank-off to a loop of the ska clips or see who could draw the best checkers on their pants in 30 seconds. In the end, Periodic Table Dancers correctly answered more tie-breaker questions and were our winners for the night! Great Circus Fire were our third-placers and the only team to ace the Which Came First round, the round where the whole tea bag thing got started.

Other observations... y'all need to brush up on yo mythology doggs. You're lucky Cejay is a quizmaster and not a quizzer cuz he would have taken you all to skool on that round. Everyone did better on the round about imaginary characters in movies (like mustachioed Michael Cera... Cera with facial hair HAS to be a figment of someone's imagination) than the round about real, living, mythological gods?! Y'all best be ready for some curses, that's all I'm saying I'M OUT, PEACE.

Drugs.Are.Really.Erotic

Randi

I was home-schooled so I was never in D.A.R.E and never learned what it stood for. That must explain why I'm so wild and in all of those different gangs (I wear a disguise and use a different name in each one, then I slowly chip away at the leaders and convince them all to fight one another... I slip away into a dumpster as the showdown starts and everyone's all like 'where's Ratty?' or 'where's Skank Shoes?' then when they can't find me they're all like 'whatever, let's kill each other!' and I watch them from the dumpster and sometimes I find a sandwich or a bottle with a little bit of vodka still in it and that's pretty cool).

We had two bonus questions last night that were just... so uneventful. I've gotten used to bracing myself for papers being shoved in my face before I'm even done saying the question and then I gotta make DAMN sure that I point out the person who ACTUALLY put up the right answer a millisecond before anyone else did or else there'll be all this squawking and yipping and what nots... this time, the bonus question about the number of students (to the nearest 10,000) at Arizona State and the one regarding the amount of pounds in a 'stone' involved a few people writing guess after guess and sort of politely taking turns with one another to show me their next guess. It was kind of cute? But mostly awkward and embarrassing.

A table of Wing-Dome goers joined in the quiz with the team name Knights. After acting all aloof and stating 'we have no idea' while turning in their answer sheet on round 3, a round where quizzers had to list 8 out of 10 exclusive colleges, they got 7/8. Way to play it cool, first-timers.

The CLOWN ROUND (that's got a ring to it) I thought was really fun. I wasn't allowed to watch much when I was a kid, but for some reason Killer Klowns from Outer Space was something that I was allowed to watch again and again and again; that probably explains my 'thing' for being wrapped up in cotton candy. Also, SUPER SPOOKY FACT: Cejay and I JUST watched the episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark about Zeebo the clown a couple days before the quiz. Just another one of those moments where I was kinda upset that I was hosting the quiz and not playing, harumph. Quite appropriately, our third placers Great Circus Fire aced the Clown Round. Creepers. Also, did you hear about the fire at the circus? It was in-tents.

I am really disappointed in how poorly everyone did on the Morgan Freeman round. Now I have this narration in my head of Morgan Freeman explaining his own disappointment and how it reminds him of a terrible day in his childhood.

Periodic Table Dancers came in second even though they tried to replace one of their own with a crude drawing and My Couch Pulls out But I Don't came in first place and didn't gloat too much about it. It was a pretty relaxed night, but I had a lot of fun (probably because it was relaxed enough that I had time to drink a looooot whoooo! Sorry if I got too sassy towards the end there) and we hope y'all had fun too! Come back again, or don't... we're pretty comfortable and in the groove now with this whole quizzin' thing which means that we can get way more drunk, belligerent, and mean now.

***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***

BEFORE YOU GET TOO DRUNK ON CINCO DE MAYO, DON'T FORGET THAT IT'S ALSO FREE COMIC DAY!!!
