For All Intensive Purposes, I'm an Idiot

Stephanie, The Harrison Ford of Eggs

Another Tuesday at the wonderful Gibson with you lovely folks. Glad to know the sub last week didn't scare you away.

I could go on and on about the quiz but I'm dedicating this blog to the God DAMN CRAB AND TOMATO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH I HAD FROM LUKE'S TRAILER OUTSIDE THE BAR. ahem. Sorry. But no, it was so amazingly good.

We had a pretty lively group of 15 teams play with us last night. From the two person MeowMix team sitting right in front of me to a huge birthday party out on the back deck, you fought your way through current event rounds, a round on "gay songs" (and yes, I agree, Meowmix, that "I Kissed A Girl" is a pretty crappy "gay song"), and an either/or round. This is the time that I openly admit that it was only 5 short years ago that someone corrected me and told me it was "all intents and purposes" and not "all intensive purposes". That means I was almost 30 years old before I realized I had been trying to sound educated, yet coming off like an idiot. So, ya know, not much has changed.

Also. Duckman. You should all watch it. Not sure if its out on DVD but I'm sure someone has uploaded episodes to Youtube.

And after round 8, we had a tie for 2nd place. But before we talk about that, the aforementioned MeowMix got a special, $5 gift card to Gibson for losing by nearly 20 points, KNOWING they were gonna lose by 20 points and still trying their damnedest til the bitter end. Way to own your lack of knowledge.

So, tiebreaker. Butt Thunder and 239 Calamity both finished in 2nd place so I asked each team to draw the outline of West Virginia, which, for those of you too lazy to look it up, kinda looks like a typical halloween ghost, tilted at a 45 degree angle, with his arms up in the air, shrugging his shoulders. No. Really. Go look and tell me I'm not wrong.

Butt Thunder were just a little more "west virginia-y" than 239 Calamity so they took home 2nd with Calamity coming in 3rd. Regulars Edison Hate Future finally had less than 6 people on their team and walked away with a convincing win.

See everyone next Tuesday. Dont forget the Game of Thrones quiz on June 8th as well.

Five Finger Death Musical

J.J.

I have been in Austin for almost three years and tonight was the first time I have made it to the Gibson. My name is JJ and I was your guest QuizMaster for the evening. It was not an easy task filling in for Stephanie here at Gibson. I gave a valiant effort and with the help of the staff we were able to pull off a fun night of quiz, filled with childhood memories and metal.

Throughout the night I was asked several times about the variety of songs playing between questions for the quiz. There are songs ranging from metal bands like Five Finger Death Punch to Broadway musicals such as Rent or Avenue Q. By the end of the night I felt like a radio DJ with all the requests coming in from the bar.

Right before round one we had a surprise prize offered up by the people at Dripping Springs Vodka. They gave a round of drinks for the team who “won” the first round. Quiz in my Pants & The Rosa-Sharks both had a perfect round one. Although since Quiz in my Pants was leading after the first scoring break they won the free round of drinks. Also there was a question about your Quizmaster. The first person who gave me the correct answer, would in the words of ACDC, have a drink on me. The question was guess what city I am from, it did not take long for one quizzer to notice the giant Phoenix Coyotes sticker on my laptop.

The quiz night belonged to three teams. Quiz in my Pants won third place by default because We will Cunt Punt You left before the scores were read. In second place we had An invitation to the anti orgasm league. If you cant cum let me know. They came all the way back from seventh place to get their prize. Our winners tonight were The Kakumbas, they jumped ahead early and never looked back.

I want to thank all the teams that came out tonight and made this QuizMaster feel welcomed. Next week Stephanie shall return to claim her throne here at Gibson.

Stephanie, The Harrison Ford of Eggs

Its our last April quiz and the weather was lovely. You're welcome, folks on the patio.

And speaking of the patio, we have a new quiz puppy. I don't remember her name. Cassidy? something like that. And she's big and fluffy and only 3 months old and she loves having her picture taken. Biscuit? You've been put on alert.

But, enough about quiz puppies. We had 12 teams join us (including a team who JUST wanted to play round 2), with lots of new faces in the crowd. Welcome. With Bonobos absent tonight, it seemed like it would be the chance for Edison Hate Future to secure the top spot. But they, apparently, invited like 84 of their friends to sit at their table. Tonight would be the night of first time winners, no matter how things played out.

And we learned about our colors and that some people think their blood changes color like a mood ring. We had a mashup audio round where lots of folks learned that Janis Joplin wasn't the only late 60s female rock singer. Then in round 3, we learned a lot of people died in True Romance.

We had an anagram round about dictators where, in spite of giving you, ya know, ALL THE LETTERS YOU'D NEED, some teams left off the first names in their answers. ANAGRAM, PEOPLE!

But then you got to rub one out, thinking about bras and tampons in round 6.

Also, round 7. His name is Bane. Not Bang. Bang would be the least scary villain ever. Or the sexiest.

So, the aforementioned Edison Hate Future DID end up with the high score of the night, but because they had too many people, they were DQd, leaving 1st place to Why Did North Korea Bomb The Alamo Drafthouse. CD Roms and Jeff Goldblum's Chest took 2nd. Rabid Bats WOULD have been 3rd but, again, too many people so Quiz In My Pants left with the 3rd place prize.
