Who Dat Ninja? If The Answer Isn't Haru, GTFO

guynes

Haru, of course, is the name of the Beverly Hills Ninja. I saw that movie in the theaters and I still have nightmares. Did you guys know that they tried to make a sequel to that movie in 2008? It got shut down due to lack of funding - SHOCKER. If they had actually made that movie, it would have set Chris Farley's grave on spin cycle.

Beverly Hills Ninja supports the theory that any film starting with "Beverly Hills" is not going to be good. Beverly Hills Ninja? Awful. Beverly Hills Chihuahua? Didn't see it, but I can still tell you that it's bad. Beverly Hills Cop? OK, that movie is great. But 2 and 3 are turds.

Now, if a movie ENDS in "Beverly Hills", we've got a winner. Troop Beverly Hills was an instant classic. I'll always remember it for starring Jenny Lewis, who fronted the now-defunct Rilo Kiley. Down and Out In Beverly Hills was also fantastic. Richard Dreyfuss and Bette Midler at the top of their respective games.

So, uh, I rambled on for a bit I suppose. There was a quiz, and we had a full 20 teams. When that happens, your loveable QM becomes rather flustered, so thanks for putting up with me. Beauty School Dropouts came out of nowhere with a 3rd place win. The Lumberjack Mafia pulled a hit on every other team (but one!) which was good enough for second. And Shit Sandwich took advantage of a strong Round 2 (which they jokered) to cruise to first place. Scores to the left!

See you guys next week - be sure and bring your friends so our team counts can stay high!

Don't forget our Quiz Summer Showdown starting June 4, in just two weeks. The team that comes away with the best performance through the three summer months will win $1000 in cold hard cash. This contest is unique to our wonderful home bar, The Nodding Donkey SMU Blvd. Details on our scoring system will be forthcoming.

Bad, Bad Jim Brown, The Baddest Running Back in the Whole Damn NFL

guynes

PSA: Even if you got our Jim Croce question right, please brush up on your Jim Croce anyway. He was a phenomenal bad ass and he died at age 30 after writing and singing a bunch of really kick-ass jams including (but not limited to) Bad Bad Leroy Brown and You Don't Mess Around With Jim. He was so incredibly bad ass that he wrote a song about how bad ass he was. And if you think You Don't Mess Around With Jim was about some other dude named Jim, well buddy, you got another thing coming.

He probably has like at least 5 other songs you've heard of, like Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) and Time in a Bottle in spite of the fact that he ONLY LIVED TO BE THIRTY YEARS OLD.

So, we had a few teams who said the baddest man in the whole damn town was Jim Brown, which is probably a fair mistake since he has two separate songs about bad asses, one named Jim and one named Leroy Brown (ed. note - unclear if he was talking about Encyclopedia Brown, but probably).

The only Jim Brown I know was famed Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown, who is not only known for his 9-year career as a Browns running back, but moreso as someone who actually lived in Cleveland for 9 straight years. He basically broke every rushing record at the time (granted, it was the 60s) and still holds a bunch of records that still haven't been broken 50 years later. Also, he was in Mars Attacks! Granted, pretty much anyone with even a hint of celebrity was in that movie, but it's still worth mentioning.

Virtual high-fives to our winners this evening The Rest of Our Team Didn't Get Hacked by the DOJ, who came out of NOWHERE to crush it with an 81-point win thanks to a 14-point, jokered R8. The Fartin Scorseses came in second and 3 Logs and a Beaver came out of their river dams to eke out a third place showing.

This has been your pub quiz recap, but before I go, here's the really important stuff you need to remember:

Don't forget our Quiz Summer Showdown starting June 4, in a mere three weeks. The team that comes away with the best performance through the three summer months will win $1000 in cold hard cash. This is not a Geeks Who Drink sanctioned contest. The cash is coming straight from our amazing venue, The Nodding Donkey SMU Blvd. Details on our scoring system will be forthcoming.
In addition to our venue's summer-long contest, Geeks Who Drink is also holding a quiz supremacy contest called Rumble in the Pub. Remember, this is totally different and completely not affiliated with the last bullet point, so stay with me. Details can be found here, but I can summarize it for you quickly, I think. First, you register your team. Then you designate a region - DFW is actually not on the list, so the closest for you would be Austin. All you need to do is dominate some pub quiz. You can go to our various DFW venues (or just here at the Donkey), rack up wins, and if you're in the top-30 of registered teams for the Austin region, you'll be invited to an elite showdown in Austin at a future determined date. Win the final quiz, and you'll be handsomely rewarded with a cash prize. Like I said, check out the page if you want more info.
Follow us on twitter - @GeeksWhoDrink for news and round teasers, and@GWDScheduleBot for scheduling updates, in case we cancel because it's too hot to quiz (you know it's coming)
We also have a DFW-area Geeks Who Drink facebook page. We have a few new venues I don't want you to really know about, because if you cheat on me by going elsewhere I'd just DIE. But maybe you want to go to more than one quiz a week, and that'd be cool. We could maybe play together or something! (JK, please don't address me outside of the two-hour quiz timeframe.)
We're having a Game of Thrones Quiz for all of you HBO-having snobs. No, I'm not bitter. Click this link for more info. It's June 8th.

The Word "Pope" Does Not Literally Mean "Child Molester"

guynes

...it means "Father". But you knew that. One team tried to "mistakenly" answer it as child molester, but I won't say who. OK, I will - The Diarrhea Fan Frank.

Here are the other things I learned tonight:

- Liza Minelli didn't die last year! She's totally coming back for Season 4 of Arrested Development. (You guys are excited about this too, right?)

- Strokin' is a song that everyone should be familiar with. "I stroke it to the east, I stroke it to the west, I stroke it to the woman that I love the best." This song was hilarious when I was 14! Which means I probably still find it funny.

- Please don't high-five if you're over the age of 27 and avidly know Harry Potter stuff. Just quietly nod and take the points.

- I appreciate those that know Lou Gehrig's Disease as the modern-day ALS, but Maya AngelALS kind of doesn't make sense.

- Not enough people watched Square One. Anyone else remember Math-Man, their ripoff of Pac-Man? He would try and eat numbers that were the answers to math equations. But if he ate the wrong answer, some tornado dude would eat him. Again, when I was 8 years old, this kind of stuff was gold.

- The Atlanta Hawks are the least impressive NBA team with a playoff streak in recent history.

Big props to Skinny Skiiers who are now 2-0 and totally game for wrecking shop in our summer-long contest. The Diarrhea Fan Frank earned a respectable second place, and Beauty School Dropouts brought third place home after winning a Peeps Challenge against PBR-Us. Evidence here:

Bullet-point-ville, Population: You.

We're back next Tuesday, doy! Don't forget our Quiz Summer Showdown starting June 4, just four weeks away. The team that comes away with the best performance through those three months will win $1000 in cold hard cash. This is not sanctioned by GWD, the cash is coming straight from our bad-ass venue, The Nodding Donkey SMU Blvd. Details on our scoring system will be forthcoming.

We're having a Game of Thrones Quiz! Admittedly, I don't watch the show because I don't have HBO, which is why I can't ever pronounce "Tyrion Lannister" correctly. Peep this for more info. It's June 8th.
