If I had a nickel for every time someone has told me to modify behavior in order to "save my life" I'd have enough nickels to convert into a shitload of dimes. "lose some weight, it'll save your life." "Stop drinking so much booze, it will save your life." "Stop antagonizing that bear, it will save your life." You know what, jackholes? NO IT WON'T! YOU CAN'T SAVE LIFE! You can't take your life, place it in a jar, put it on a shelf and save it for posterity. IT IS FINITE! YOU WILL, regardless of how much roughage you eat or how many cigars you don't smoke or how many cocktails you refuse to imbibe or how many bear wrasslin' matches you puss out on, DIE. You, me, your mom, your dog, your numbnuts uncle who sleeps with a RealDoll®, your half-wit cousin who licks all the windows, the creepy old man down the street who really really needs to wear more clothes...EVERY LIVING CREATURE POOPS and every living creature dies. Why? Well, because we're mortal and this is kind of our thing. We eat, we poop, we sleep, we fuck, we burp, we fart and yes: we die. So go ahead. Skip out on that Blizzard® at Dairy Queen. Don't eat that fucking amazing New York style pizza, it's fattening and it'll cause coronary thrombosis! Don't you DARE enjoy a Moscow Mule or a Pimm's Cup or even something as rotgut simple as Jameson with a fucking lime. DO NOT, under any circumstances, pin the fuck out of that bear. WHY? Well, when you're on life support at the tail end of your ever-so-careful life, you can sure look around and think "fuck yeah, I made it to this ripe old age LIKE A BOSS because I refused to have any fun. Look at all those poor fuckers in the obituary column. I BET THEY DID TERRIBLE THINGS TO THEIR BODIES and that's why they died several days before I will...Then you'll pass out and shit all over yourself. You know, like you do.
Whoa...Where was I? OH YES! QUIZ!
We had a SLIGHTLY low-key-yet-still-fun-and-rocking good time at Tony's on Tuesday evening. Eight big teams tossed their hat into the quizring to compete for all the power and the glory. As an aside, OH LAWD JESUS, IT'S A FIRE! Smoke from the Black Forest fire and wind and ash and displaced aphids (no shit, it's like a plague of the little fuckers) weren't enough to dampen anyone's spirits, the quizzers soldiered through some pretty intense rounds and handled it all with aplomb. Also panache. Well, I THINK you kids displayed panache, I can't be certain as I don't ACTUALLY know the clinical definition of the word and I'm really too lazy to look it up. So yes. You have a plethora of piñatas...
We had quite the spirited competition for the top three slots on Tuesday evening. After all the quiz dust settled, the terribly inaptly named In First Place ended up in third, #SexP.R.I.S.M., who led pretty much the entire night (except when it counted) ended up in second and, for the second week in a row (that I'm aware of), Lucky Dinosaur Hat came from behind in round eight to claim the champeenship for the evening. As always, big thanks to everyone who came out to show off their big brains. It warms my very soul to see you all and, eventually, if you would continue to show up, my soul might end up perfectly cooked and we can enjoy it in tacos. YOU LOVE SOUL TACOS! As such, we'll see you back again next Tuesday, yeah?

So I'm forcing myself to post this blog on Tuesday evening instead of Wednesday morning because, for the first time since January, I HAVE TO GET UP TOMORROW AND GO TO WORK. That's right, I have to go to a (fucking) job in the morning, a phenomenon that hasn't occurred since I was laid off from the ad agency I used to work at roughly six months ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that I just might be a productive and useful member of society again soon (see, the gig is just freelance for now, but since I'm such a badass, I'm confident it'll become more regular) but I've crossed that threshold where I JUST MAY have forgotten HOW to work. I mean, sure, I've been TRYING to stay sharp with projects here and there, especially SOME content creation for Geeks Who Drink, but...Yeah, I haven't had to get up in the morning with the intent of GOING to a workplace and sitting at a desk and being productive for a good long while. Shit, I don't even SHOWER before 11 anymore, so this process will all seem super fucking foreign to me. I'll be honest, I don't even consider myself an adult anymore...But I reckon I'd better snap out of that mode, as much as possible at least. And, hey, looking on the bright side, during this most recent undignified period of joblessness, I didn't have to resort to applying at places like Taco Bell or Costco or Walmart or what-have-you. No disrespect to anyone who holds down a job like that (ok, maybe a TINY bit of disrespect) but, kids, I'm a delicate flower. Warehouse or retail or grunt or shit work might damage my already fragile soul irreparably and rend me useless for the rest of my natural life which would, of course, be being shortened daily if I had to clock in at a menial job such as that. I need FUN jobs like PA announcing for a pro hockey team or graphic artist/copywriter at an ad agency or Quizmaster, Motherfucker...
Ah, yes, and speaking of quiz, we had ourselves a legitimately rocking one at Tony's on Tuesday. Eleven big teams packed the joint in search of all the marbles and, holy crap, what a rowdy, fun bunch of mo'fuckaz you turned out to be. We got NICked in round one, toured Europe together in round two...Hell, how about I outline the shenanigans and goings-on via the time-honored far eastern art form that is...Haiku...
Tony's is a bar.
It's fun, it's rowdy, it rocks.
ALL GLORY TO QUIZ!
Man, Wilt Chamberlain
sure got a whole bunch of ass.
How'd he not get AIDS?
Repeat the question?
I haven't ASKED the thing yet!
YOUUUUU shut the fuck up!
We had QUITE the spirited competition for the top three slots and some STUPIDLY high scores in some of the rounds, which led to a pretty kickass showdown in round eight. After all the quiz dust settled, Suffering Bastards ended up tied for 3rd with #DrapedUpDrippedOut and, as you all know, the one, true way to settle a tie like THAT is by invoking the vaunted danceoff. The representative from Suffering Bastards TRIED to "back it up" but was thwarted by gyrations that resembled a spasmatic attack, giving #DrapedUpDrippedOut third...THEN...Then, kids, we had a tie for first. Lucky...Hats had jokered a perfect sixteen in round eight to pull into a tie with Task Force: Bitch Mob, who had presided over the standings the entire evening. After 5 quick sudden death (some people prefer the term "sudden victory" but fuck that, we're like George R. R. Martin: SOMEONE HAS TO DIE), Task Force: Bitch Mob found themselves in second and Lucky...Hats were the champeens for the evening.
As always, big thanks to everyone who came out to show off their big brains, The more of you that show up, the merrier I am, if by "merry" you mean "holy crap, I'm kind of deaf at the end of the night but I feel as if I've been beaten about the head and shoulders with a bat made of pure joy." SO KEEP COMING BACK! I WILL TOO! Well, for one more week at the very least. So hey, we'll see YOU again NEXT Tuesday!

Hashtags - I’m going to start with hashtags. Apparently it’s a thing now; it’s spreading like an epidemic through the Tony’s quiz. It’s what the kids do I guess – like inline skating into quiz. The things I see from these Tony’s quizzers surprise me ever; it’s spreading like an epidemic through the Tony’s quiz. It’s what the kids do I guess – like inline skating into quiz. The things I see from these Tony’s quizzers surprise me every week! I just don’t understand it all…
So, good quiz tonight. Some newer teams in the house – you know when you recognize them; they recognize you and you kind of have that “where the f have we met each other” moment? Yup, that was me and these teams. For example – Wieners. (Yes, I turn into a giggly 12-year-old when I read that team name every time!) Was it a reference to Anthony Weiner’s run at mayor of NYC? Are they the “wee-ners” of the game? Nope, just wieners – because they’re dudes and they’re funny.
It’s so…ironic…oh Tony’s, you and your hipster ways…
Taking second by just 1 point was a team that ALWAYS performs well but we haven’t seen for a few weeks now – Suffering Bastards. They sat in front tonight and it was neat to see how a team like this works. Each person was a specialist – I could hear a different one on each round call out “Oh, I got this.”
But I have to interrupt my writing of an analysis of how a good team works for a literal LOL moment – I’m writing this at home, TV on in the background after quiz and I hear Psy…going Gagnam Style on some pistachios and I had to stop typing to laugh. Oh Round 3, my quizzers owned you tonight!
On that note, we’ll leave you with this – your winners…Wieners. (Tee hee)…the only thing more awkward was yelling in the bar “I need to see Wieners for a picture!” Thank God no one took me literally!
Until next time…
XOXO
