The Village People Really Could Have Used an Orthopedic Surgeon

Kavi

It's that time of year again. The campus-dwellers have all gone home to the folks' in DFW or else are living in Hyde Park on their parents' dime, swimming daily through piles of dirty clothes and weed shake and wondering which pseudo-friend from the graduation party could possibly have shown enough interest in their copy of Dune to actually take it out of the Blu-ray player, match it to its proper case on the shelf and make off with it. Regardless, they're no longer on campus, which means the Drag Bar is in the midst of taking on its annual air of sophistication. There are fewer correct answers coming in on Lady Gaga and way more coming in on "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown." And here I always thought Portugal. The Man had made that one up themselves.

Every time I come into this place, bartender/hairstyle Giovanni has a new tattoo. This week, in fact, he had two. It's like a hot dog-eating contest around here, only with more pain and bleeding and fewer weird poops the next day. Plus I can't afford to keep up with him, which means y'all are doing exactly as I've asked and tipping him generously. The karma police are no doubt smiling upon you. I'm also jealous of the fact that Gio's highly Italian skin shows off white ink like mine never will. At least now my husband almost has his haircut.

The competition was heated at tonight's quiz. Although the scores didn't come out as close to each other as the second- and third-place teams might have hoped, on certain rounds the knowledge was so well-matched I was expecting some kind of matter-meets-matter black hole situation to down over the bar stairs. Still haven't fallen down those things, which is an accomplishment I hope to continue to achieve at least into my twenty-seventh year. At that point I'll be willing to live with a little senility.

See y'all next week! Don't forget to get in on the Game of Thrones theme quiz if you're into that sort of thing.

Two Pizzas Are Better Than One; They're Lots of Fun

Packrit

Tonight I was a Geek Who Ate as I've been taking the week off from drinking after a very fun past couple of weeks. So I ordered two pizzas instead. Whatevs. While Kavi was off slaying creepy Asian vampires in Malaysia using the powers of her mind, I had the better end of the deal and got to spend time with all of you! I really love the laid-back vibe at the Drag Bar. It's as comfortable as my gym socks.

Tonight we had questions about Hitler's sign (Taurus, in case you're wondering), kids' educational television, semi-naked and full-frontal Kate Winslet (can you believe the British think she's fat?), and made-up things, like Heaven.

Last I heard, Kavi was zeroing in on the nest of the mother blood sucker, wading through swathes of newly re-dead Cathayan corpses and, with her brains, moxie, and frightening, Carrie-strength psychic powers, I imagine she'll be back in Austin in time for next week's quiz. Make sure you thank her for saving humanity -- AGAIN -- when you see her.

Until then, stay safe, happy and drunk!

I Eat the Red Crayon 'Cause the Red One Tastes the Best

Swoon.

I love pearl snap cowboy shirts. I don't care who you are - man, woman, fat, skinny, bear, twink, what have you - they are universally flattering and incontrovertible proof that Texas is the reason. Last night, as quiz wrapped up, the musical acts to follow began setting up their business on the stage behind me and one solo artist, who ended up sounding like a budding mixture between Roger Miller and the Gaslight Anthem, caught my eye. Not only was he in a classic garment of the type mentioned above, but he had mustered the balls to unsnap the thing down to about nip-level, exposing a light dusting of blondish chest hair underneath. I'll stop before this turns into a Harlequin novel, but needless to say, I hung around for another beer.

Plus, there was cutie pie Dave of semi-regular team Michelle Graduated Yay!, who bore an uncanny resemblance to his equally adorable female teammate, despite being neither related to or in a romantic relationship with her. The rest of the Drag Bar patrons once again displayed their generous sense of camaraderie with a loud cheer upon hearing Dave's team's name for the first time, thereby reaffirming my belief once again that I have the greatest venue of all venues. Who needs eight vintage bowling lanes and a regular air guitar competition? We've got sideburns for days, damnit.

I'm running out of ingenious ideas for weekly drink ticket themes, not to mention that my lack of artistic talent severely limits my ability to draw a dick with anything more than a rudimentary mustache on it. I once knew a guy who made a hobby of illustrating dicks that might belong to various superheroes with distinguishing physical characteristics, but that guy went to art school. Your suggestions are certainly welcome. Throw 'em at the Facebook page.

And while you're on there, make sure you're also a fan of the larger Geeks Who Drink Facebook page, which is where you'll find out about stuff like the upcoming "Game of Thrones" theme quiz, the best team name of the week nationwide and more. See y'all next week, when I promise to play less Motorhead and more Dolly Parton.
