It's not often we have a celebrity guest at quiz. And when we do, it's usually other quizmasters, former bartenders, or - if you attended Geek Bowl VII - Wil Wheaton. But tonight, we topped it all. Tonight, at Buckley's in Belltown, The Most Interesting Man in the World graced us with his presence.

He was present for The Most Interesting Quiz in the World, somehow managing to play on every team in the house simultaneously. He joined them in identifying board games, translating strange descriptions of TV shows, and recognizing quotable commercials. 

He then tried out planking before disappearing into the night. It was a good night.

The Least Interesting Quizmaster in the World invites this week's winners to stay thirsty, my friends.

Let's talk a little bit about colossal failures. The day was March 4, 1841, and William Henry Harrison was getting inaugurated to the office of POTUS. Homeboy was 68 years old - the oldest president to get elected to the office until Ronald Reagan, some 140 years and an advancement in medical science or 600 later. Harrison was a war hero, see, and in an attempt to assuage concerns about his age he wanted to give a manly inaugural speech. Never mind that he was sixty fucking eight years old, 90+ years before the social security age was set at 65 because you're supposed to die a few years after you hit it. 

Being a badass war hero, Harrison decided that in spite of the fact that it was buttfucking cold outside and he was older than dirt, he was going to give his inaugural speech without a coat or a hat. He also decided that his speech needed to be two god damned hours long - still the longest inaugural speech on record. 31 days later, he died of pneumonia, ascending John Tyler to the presidency and assuring that even 170 years later we still mix him up with Zachary Taylor. 

31 days later. Because he wouldn't wear a coat. You know what's remarkable to me about this story? The fact that he wasn't assassinated. You know what else is remarkable to me about it? He died two years before Robert Lincoln was born. The very same Robert Lincoln that about half of you thought was the secretary of war when William Henry Harrison was "assassinated."

Shameful.

It's ok though, becuase you redeemed yourselves! Most notably with tonight's tiebreaker, perhaps the best danceoff I've ever seen. A note to my fellow quizmasters who may be reading this: Forget songs you'd hear at the club. You want a memorable tiebreaker? Have a danceoff to a DISNEY song. Tonight's to Prince Ali from Aladdin was one of the best things I've ever seen - and I've seen Angelina Jolie's tits, pre-double mastectomy.

Congratulations to tonight's winners!

• Village Idiots, 1st place and $75 to Buckley's
• The Olive Long Sleeve, 2nd place and $50 to Buckley's
• Kitten Mittens, 3rd place (after the tiebreaker) and $25 to Buckley's
• Viva la Poutine, 4th place (after the tiebreaker) and $0 to anywhere
• Whistler 13, next to last place and a free pitcher of beer

And as for my favorite team name of the night?

"No" means "yes," and "yes" means "anal."

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch Jeff try that line on the hot Australian girl across the bar.

It's been two months since Stacy took her leave and departed the week-in-week-out sexiness that is Buckley's for being full-time preggo. Tonight I got some questions about Stacy. Did she have her baby yet? Is she ever coming back? Why does her replacement suck? Yada yada golf balls and garden hoses.

Well I'm pleased? Displeased? Let's go with "in mixed emotions" to share that Stacy has not yet popped out hers and Declan's spawn. As of the last time I talked to her a few days ago, she still suffered from McPregnanCy Young - the winningest pregnancy in the history of Irishmen knocking up quizmistresses. Which means that she still can't drink, and you're still stuck with me.

Tonight's quiz was an interesting one - with an easy R1 and R2 leading to an abnormal number of jokers on the music round, and a lot of teams knowing by the R5 scoring break which direction they wanted the rest of their night to head in. Perennial strategic players Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem intentionally tanked the last three rounds in search of a free pitcher of beer, only to find themselves too far out in front of the night's laggards to get there. They wound up in the middle of the pack, but were responsible for some of the night's best before & after answers.

At the end of the night we nearly had a tie, however joker-forfeiting team of 7 Kappa Delta Cunt Punt Ya were disqualified for wanting to be BFFs of the traveling ya ya pants and wound up nowhere near the money. It was Werewolf Bar Mitzvah grabbing the top prize of $75 to Buckley's, YAY! Amber's Back! taking the 2nd place prize and $50 in bar cash, and The Terrible Beauties heading home with a $25 gift certificate.

The prizes abounded, as did the beautiful people. Get your ass out here next Tuesday and see what it's all about! Until then, do your best not to get sunburnt. Or pregnant. Quiz without Stacy is weird enough.
