I'm going make a statement that I firmly believe all you who read this blog will agree with: I love ending my Sunday Funday at the Whip In and there is no other place I'd rather be.

I know this is a strong stance to take and it may ruffle some feathers but I can't deny what my heart is telling me. Sure I could go get wasteyfaced on mimosas and pass out early. I could be watching the Olympics or True Blood. It certainly isn't the only place to get food and drink in south Austin. However, it is the only convenience store, Indian restaurant, wine bar, tap house and brew pub on the planet. It is also the finest pub quiz in town.

Before we get on to the rest of the quiz wrap up I need to address something very important here. It seems that some of you, despite better judgement, have gone this far in your life without seeing Orgasmo or even Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy. Trust me, rent these movies before next week and you'll be happier for the experience. Heck, I'd even go so far as to personally invite you to come to my home and watch them with me since I own them both on DVD. You're missing out if you haven't seen those films. 

We saw some insanely high scores at the quiz last night. I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up on the Geek In Review this week. Credit goes to Old Man Phelps and A Stray White Hare, both teams opened the quiz with a perfect score in our cheese round. Then round two on mustachioed musicians The Queen Is A Torch Nazi and Mrs. Puggy Wuggy Has A Square Cut Punt only missed one point and jokered their near perfect round. Five teams aced the visual round on domes. One of which also went eight for eight in the following round on knock off booze. That team, Gold Medal In The Pommel Whores, catapulted themselves into the top spot and held firmly with a 13 point round 8. That helped them edge Mrs. Puggy Wuggy with a 3 point vicotry. 

Unlike the movie THE HANGOVER or its sequel last night no one got a face tattoo however someone did lose a tooth and Bruce Willis was dead the entire time. Wait, I'm mixing up my movies. Whatever, I never saw the sequel but I haven't heard any reason why I should. So I'm sitting here at the Geeks Who Drink South Central office hung-the-fuck-over composing this week's blog. I hate being hungover but I don't mind writing the blog this way. It is like the sting of a well placed smack on the ass reminding me of all the good times we had together. 

p.s.

don't forget live music at the Whip In each week after the quiz. Next week stick around for the world's only Croatian STYX tribute band.

First things last. Y'all need to get your candyass over to the Facebook page for Geeks Who Drink at Whip In! You're missing out on clues, bonus beers and the opportunity to make song requests. Do it now!

Last night we discovered the only possible downside to having a pub quiz in the world's only convenience store/wine bar/tap house/brew up/ Indian restaurant: walk in traffic. Somewhere during round six a lost and clearly inebriated golden retriever wandered into the bar to escape the rain. She was soaking wet and shit house wasted. DAVY JONES!!! IT'S DAVY JONES!! She was correct, the answer was Davy Jones but Geeks Who Drink rules are #1) don't shout out the answer and #2) don't fuck with the Quizmaster.

I am fairly certain I made this crystal clear and explained that it isn't just a matter of etiquette but that there is also a great deal of money on the line. We gave out $40 in Whip In bar cash along with half a dozen beers. This isn't for amateurs, dude. Additionally, Whip In doesn't serve Jager and the only 'bomb' they have is the Bombshell Blonde Ale on tap so this isn't the place to act like a drunken 16 year old. 

Our annoyance with this one persistent cum-dumpster was only exacerbated by the fact that she was not the first answer shouting spoiler of the night. She wasn't even the second however she was the drunkest and the most obnoxious. The main difference between her and the other two hecklers was that when informed that the 60 or 70 south Austin residents packing the bar and hanging on my every word were involved in a high stakes game the answer yelling novices ceased their interruptions and shamefully sulked away. However, shitfaced-for-brains couldn't buy a clue and so she was taken out behind the woodshed by the Whip In manager and was given a "talking to."

She returned later and peacefully minded her chardonnay. Lucky for her we only sent Peanut to talk to her and not Curvette or Molotove M. Pale from the world famous Texas Rollergirls who were on hand promoting their up coming tournament. I know they would have loved the opportunity to lay the smack down but my conscience wouldn't let me unleash the fury of the Texecutioners, it would be too brutal.

As for the rest of the quiz we had some really great rounds and good scores. The top 8 were 50 points and higher, which means you're doing it right. Once again the visual round was the only round anyone aced and it was done by the overwhelming majority of teams. We awarded some extra beers to teams that took the challenge of creating a roller derby inspired name, Molotov picked Xanadu Killers, and I would like to personally thank their team for allowing me to cuss in front of their very young, beautiful and impressionable daughters. I know mommy cusses like a drunken sailor but I, being a total stranger, am different. Thank you for being cool. Texecutioner team captain, Curvette, picked Roller Taco as her favorite team name and I feel like that might soon be a menu item at a south Austin food trailer.

The night wrapped up with live Mariachi music from The Bluebird Specials who opened with one of my all time favorites, Loretta Lynn's Fist City <-- click to hear their rendition. They were way better than last week's Norwegian Industrial Black Metal band. Next week after the quiz we'll have a DJ spinning Aboriginal Techno including house and drum & bass or so I'm guessing.

Once again next week there will be a quiz I'll just be a little late as I'm coming straight from a day-and-a-half Vegas rager and my plane lands at 6:20pm. We'll have Whip In bartender Issac (who is also a GWD employee) start the quiz. Don't miss this. It is going to be a total shit show. So come see just how fucked up your beloved Quizmaster will be. If you would like to make a tax deductable donations to the dancers at Vince Neil's Girls Girls Girls student body of UNLV please let me know and I'll give you my PayPal ID. Again I don't gamble so I give you my word that I will hand all donations directly to the students when I see them. Also, for the dude from Canada that asked about the KISS PUTT-PUTT GOLF, check this out: http://monsterminigolf.com/kiss/

Finally, apologies for not getting a lot of team pictures. My camera was stolen when my house was broken into by my meth head neighbor. If you have an extra digital camera sitting around and being unused at your house, then let's talk.

The Geek inside of me acknowledges and honors the Geek inside of you, Namaste!
