There was a deluge of epic proportions just a few short hours before quiz. Did it deter you? Nope. In fact, you guys showed up in force. We had 13 teams tonight and 12 that finished and it was awesome! It was nice to see folks that had been watching our two hours of madness from the sidelines for a long time finally decide to take the plunge and join us for a change. I'm glad you guys had fun, and I hope you come and join us again next time.

I will freely admit that I have never been in an IKEA. I just don't get the allure.of it. I know people that take long car trips to get to the one location 200 miles from them just to look at cheap furniture. So to find out that there was a meatball recall from IKEA of all places because it was believed that the meatballs contained horse meat, I was left utterly baffled. I mean, first off, I don't get the whole IKEA thing, but secondly, people are eating meatballs being served in a furniture store? Really? And you're surprised that it might be horse meat? You're eating meatballs in a furniture store! Then I thought about it some more and I realized that IKEA HAS to serve food in their stores. From what I've been told their stores are so vastly huge and people actually get lost in the store, maybe they serve meatballs because they don't want patrons to die of starvation in the aisles because they've been walking around for days just trying to find the way out of the store. Then it sort of makes sense. But still. Not surprised the meatballs were made with horse meat.

I hope everyone has a fantastic week. I'm sure everyone will be huddled around their televisions tomorrow night for the Spurs game. I won't be watching, but I'll be glad that the game isn't cancelling one of my quizzes for a change. See you all next week.

It's always amusing to me when people in the bar are obviously not paying attention to what's going on around them when I get on the mic. Tonight I gave my pre-quiz announcement that we'll be getting the quiz started in 15minutes, and to come get quiz packets etc. An older gentleman came up to the stage and it seemed as though he was under the impression that I was giving away free stuff, or doing some kind of drawing, or who knows what. He grabbed a quiz packet eagerly and then asked me what it was for. He had no idea why he was coming up to get these pieces of paper, but he figured he'd damn well better get one of these packet things. Once I explained that it was for a pub quiz, he looked rather deflated, but felt committed since he already eagerly snatched a packet from the table. And as predicted he only participated in one round. And scored a 1. This happens more times than I can count at the old Firehouse. People thinking I'm there to host karaoke or I'm just randomly giving shit away in some sort of raffle.

But you guys know different! You know the deal. You're there for quiz, and it is fantastic.

And what was with all the kids tonight? Holy crap, I was thinking I was hosting a quiz at a damned daycare or something. I think at one time I noted about 5 ankle biters wandering around the bar. Shouldn't these kids be in bed by 9pm? I know I was at that age. It was rather distracting to see them acting up and in one case yelling and screaming just inside my eye line. Must be because school is almost over for the year. I expect an influx of exasperated teachers hitting quizzes all over the city in search of beer and relaxation. I have an open invite for vacationing teachers to stop on by for some quiz this summer.

Quiz tonight forced us to remember Joe Vs. The Volcano. I apologize for that. Only one team managed to make the connection to that film from the clue “brain cloud”. Personally, I've tried my best to purge that lame-assed film from my memory. But just when I think it's gone for good....bam. There it is in quiz. Fortunately I actually remember very little about the movie. Mostly what I remember was how dumb I thought it was at the time.

I will see all you misfits next week!

Tim Tebow Is The Biggest Loser.

I really hope that Tim Tebow has passed his expiration date, and is ready to fade into obscurity. Dude was a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Has everyone had enough time to dry off after that crazy deluge from the weekend? Paulina and I were out in it unfortunately. Let me tell you, it was pretty damn nasty. I've never seen it rain so hard and flood so much in the 10 years I've lived here. When it takes you an hour to travel just a few miles because you constantly have to back track and find alternate routes on the fly, all while trying to keep your car from getting submerged in a low water area. Fun, fun, fun. But we're safe and sound and you all are too.

What the hell was with you guys tonight. Most of you seemed to have dicks on the brain judging from your team names tonight. Out of 7 initial teams, 4 of your team names involved dicks in some form or another. It's like you all jumped in the Weinermobile together and carpooled your way to quiz and all got on the same page with regards to your team names. It's like you all showed up wearing the same dress or something. A big purple, vein riddled, throbbing dress.

We at Geeks Who Drink definitely love to troll you, and tonight we trolled you pretty good. Twice. First we had round 3 where we were asking you about the most populous cities, which got you all raring to go. And then I gave you the caveat that it was according to the 1900 census. Your groans were quite audible, but let's face it. We're Geeks Who Drink, and you should fucking well know better by now that we'd pull the rug out from under you somehow.

Then if that wasn't enough, we got you prepared for a sports round. Most of you were ready to just grin and bear it. Then we threw in another caveat that it was a sports round but it was WOMEN in sports. More groans. Sorry princesses, but you can't win 'em all. Expand those horizons a bit. Oh and a big fuck you to the team that opted to not even turn in your round because as you put it, “don't give a shit about women's sports”.

Hey gang, have a safe weekend and we'll see you all again next Wednesday.
