Ladies, Don't Forget They Called Him "Tiny" Archibald For A Reason!

If you really want to hear about how Nate Dogg became a Quizmaster twice over, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied on Wall Street and all before they had me, and all that Criss Angel Mind Freak kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

You and I both know the truth is the only reason you're reading this is because you attended the pub quiz last night and want to read the recap, not my personal life story. So stop pretending you care & acting like such a bunch of goddamn phonies!

(Salinger reference for 1 point.)

We fondly reminisced about the iconic go-kart scene from the motion picture talkie “Guess Who?” We realized literally everybody in the room including myself was completely unaware that the Journey song is just called simply “Lights.” We speculated on whether or not New York Jets Hall of Famer Weeb Ewbanks has a name that sounds too much like a Star Wars “in-between” novel character. We pondered how truly friendly Quakers are IRL. I was bummed “Tom Goes to the Mayor” wasn’t an option for the visual round but no one else knew what I was talking about, effectively answering my own complaint for its absence. We decided Ninja Garden would be an excellent name for a buffet and/or indie rock band. We came, we saw, we shipped our pants. We lamented the fact that our fair state lacks a singular Chipotle franchise location, or really just any place in general that serves free-range burritos the size of newborn babies at reasonable prices. No bonus rounds or tiebreaker interpretive dance competitions were ultimately deemed necessary.

The inaccurately named 4^th Place Is The Best Place took 1^st place for $25, Spenard Beerfest June 1^st (shameless plug) grabbed 2^nd, Papa Woody won Best Team Name, Scared Spitless was the recipient of the coveted Not Last Award and The Who took home the prize for the email contest. Congratulations to everyone who showed up.

Please tell your friends that we’ve moved time slots. It’s happening every Tuesday and every Thursday night come rain, shine, hell or high-water, whatever comes first, @ 7:30 on the friggin’ dot!

Finally, don’t listen to the Holden Caulfield’s of this world. They will tell you “don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.” And it just simply isn’t true. There is a middle ground. Please DO tell everyone you know about GWD @ Koot’s. Don’t keep your pub trivia habit a dirty little week night secret. It will still be cool even when we get more popular & cool, I promise.

It doesn’t have to be a cool kids clique. Everybody sticks together in these dirty little goddamn cliques. The guys that are on the basketball team stick together, the Catholics stick together, the goddamn intellectuals stick together…Even the guys that belong to the goddam Book-of-the-Month club stick together. Share the love, share the pub quiz.

We're Losing Wyatt and Even the Sky Is Crying

Wascally Wyatt

Well, this was an emotional week for this was my last quiz at Chilkoot Charlie's. It's been awesome being your quizmaster and watching Geeks Who Drink grown over the last many months. This weeks quiz round 4 was an jewish grandmother describing movies, so in honor of my last night I did the entire round with an old jewish grandmother voice. Not the easiest thing to do but it was fun. The first 2 voices weren't well received but the 3rd one hit. I also brought some extra swag to give away thru-out the quiz for what I considered extra geek points. It was a great night yet still a little sadness. I'm really going to miss my quizzers and I hope you guys miss me. Thanks everyone for the best wishes on my future journey, I will miss you all.

As for the quiz standings, our winner tonight was Ye Olde Titty Sprinkles Back To Reclaim Their Rightful 3rd Place Spot. The Death of Daedalus took 2nd. Best Team was Team Fisting Always Wins, (oddly an all girl team). I also named a new AK GWD record the new longest team name Team Please Stop FaceBook Stalking Me… Henry and Matt Because It's Kinda Creepy When You Add All My Female Friends.

It's been an honor being your quizmaster. for the last time

Quizmaster out!

As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster. (Henry Hill reference for one point.) And now I’m officially for the first time a full-fledged, card-carrying Quiz Master every Tuesday night. Mastering quizzes is pretty much the same thing as being a gangster, minus the whole driving-around-in-your-car-late-at-night-on-a-highway-with-a-beaten-man-wrapped-in-bloody-tablecloths-in-the-trunk type of thing.

Although team attendance this week for the inaugural maiden voyage was admittedly small in number, they were mighty in spirit. The game was relocated to the adjoining Ice Bar due to stand up comic Kyle Grooms performing in the main-room. (This is the room closest to the front door that eerily resembles Komrades from “Wayne’s World 2.”)

We found it impossible not to giggle at how saying “Week-old Iron Man 3” always sounds like you’re making fun of Robert Downey Jr.’s age, even though he’s only 48. What can I say? Cocaine is a hell of a drug. (Rick James reference for 2 points.) My heterosexuality was again a subject of fierce debate after the music round. We decided the other “f” in “FLILF” stands for “flick” as it just sounds gentler. We fondly reminisced about U2’s techno period. (Not really, but for the sake of the narrative let’s all just pretend and say that we did.) Most importantly, we all totally forgot about that one episode of “A.L.F.” where Alf develops an addiction to cotton balls so Willie & Katie decide to invite a support group over to the house.

Your Love walked away with a GWD flash drive/bottle opener whilst Datalus got a Koot’s t-shirt & the lion’s share of Bonus Beers with the coveted Not Last Award. Pizza, 3 Shots & Randy took home $15 for 2^nd place and the grand prize winner for $25 was In All Ways, Better Than Zach. Congratulations to everyone who won and thanks for coming out. Please tell your friends and we’ll see you next Tuesday at 7:30 in the main room, do or die. Don’t forget to also check out our Facebook page to see who won the Best Name Contest. Those lucky so-and-so’s can redeem their prize by rolling the 20-Sided Prizes Die at next week’s competition.

Now dig this. A little bird tells me there’s gonna be a big coke deal in Fairbanks. One for the Guinness books. So they say. So I said, “Little bird, what does this have to do with a pub quiz in Anchorage?” The little bird apologizes for going off topic and tells me word on the street from a pimp named Silky is that from here on out, the show is going to start on the dot at 7:30 P.M. come hell or high-water, whatever comes first. So I said, “Little bird, what’s this I hear about Resident Thursday Quiz Master Wyatt moving out of state in 2 weeks?” Little bird replies, “Look man. I lay it out for ya’all to play it out.” So I said, “Little bird, what does that mean?” and little bird tells me “don’t worry about it.”
