8 years ago, I left the frozen tundra of Canada to escape the blistering cold of winter, only to move to South Texas where I now risk combusting in the blistering heat of summer.  Apparently I'm drawn to extremes.  No middle of the road for this Crazy Canuck.

By day, I am a button pushing drone-monkey  ball of rage camera/audio operator for a local tv staton.  In severe need of a creative outlet and a place where yelling obsenities at people was acceptable, (and wouldn't get me fired) I was handed a microphone by Geeks Who Drink.  I was instructed to "Go forth and entertain drunken nerds with your razor wit and beer breath.  Oh, and ask them these quiz questions while you're there."

And so I did, and it was good.

I have been accused of "hating everything" but I actually like many things.  I am a total geek for Star Wars, the works of Neil Gaiman, The Ramones, Shonen Knife, Nerdist, (Classic) Dr. Who, pro wrestling, good beer, poutine, British comedies and cheese.  All else is pointless, irrelevant and a waste of time.

I am also a part-time ninja.

With Paulina taking the night off to go help out our newest member of the Geeks Who Drink family on her first totally solo night, I was left with you lot and apparently a back room full of people running for county judge and other assorted elected offices. My thought was, “What? ANOTHER fucking election?” It seems to me that if you want to cure the populace of “voter apathy”, the easiest way to do it is to stop having so many fucking elections! Seriously, it seems like every other month there's a bond election, or a mayoral election or an election for the goddamn dog catcher. County elections, state elections, it goes on and on and on. How about you have one mega election once every 4 years and you vote for EVERYTHING. On a 50 page ballot. At gunpoint, that way every actually votes. That would cure low voter turnout really quick.

But anyway, back to the schmoozers in the back. Just because you come up on me with a big fake smile and shake my hand while shoving a business card at me doesn't mean I'll vote for you. And in a bar no less. I guess he's trying to show he's one of the commoners. Whatever. I can't vote in your country anyway, so you're just wasting you time as well as mine.

For the life of me I'll never understand what possesses a person to walk all the way across the bar 5 minutes before quiz, ask how they can “get in on this quiz thing”, get quiz materials, walk back to their table and then get a far as putting their team name down on the first page and then not even play. Talk about wasting my time again.

Many high scores on tonight's small dick round. What's that tell ya? Pair that with the round on animal ass ends and you've got yourself a party! One team aced this round which leads me to ponder how they spend their time either on the internet our out in the wild.

A few teams had trouble coming up with the answer that asked what 4 words you type into Google to make your screen spin 360 degrees. This gave us answers like, “Spin The Fuck Around”, and “Spin Me Right Round”, and the much more polite “spin the screen please”.

Join us next week where we'll hopefully be minus the schmoozing politicos.

May is now upon us, and that means school is out. It also means some familiar faces made their return to quiz tonight. We also had THREE virgin teams come out tonight. That's pretty damn awesome. But it gets even more awesome because we also had a special guest for round six. None other than Jeopardy champ extraordinaire Ken Jennings! Ok, so he wasn't actually AT the quiz, but he was brought to us via the wonders of audio file. Maybe in a few years we'll be able to have special guest hosts beam in via hologram like Tupac but for now this will have to suffice.

A few weeks ago I was able to spare the you horror of a round of tv themes done as dubstep due to our showing a video round instead. Unfortunately this week I had to expose you to the group Apologetix, and their “music”. They rewrite the lyrics of popular songs by Jesus-ing them up and sucking anything that was once good out of those songs to make them palatable for the Bible-banging set. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk was a shitty song to begin with and didn't need any help from Apologetix. Despite that, most teams blew their jokers and had near perfect scores on it as well.

So when all was said and done, how did the three virgin teams do? Well, they placed at the bottom of the pack but Paulina suggests that since all three teams were only two people each, they should either bring in some ringers, or maybe join up all three teams Voltron style and whoop some ass on the Firehouse regulars. That would be really cool to see.

Thanks for a fun night, gang and see you all next week!

We are expanding operations in San Antonio about as fast as the waistlines of the populace and as a result, Geeks Who Drink is looking for a few good mic-slingers for our ever expanding army of awesome. Think you've got what it takes to shout down loud drunks, and kick ass on the mic? Go to the Geeks Who Drink Web Site and apply.

When I got to the Firehouse tonight, man it was packed! But then I noticed that those goddamn Spurs were on the big screen and it all became apparent. I'm sorry. I know you San Antonians love watching these tall bastards put a ball through a hoop, but frankly I am not much of a fan of basketball, and I'm definitely not a fan of watching tall men put a ball through a hoop. I'm even less of a fan of it when they're wearing Spurs uniforms. No, present me with a large patch of ice, Canadians on ice shooting a puck around at high speeds with the occasional fight and you've got yourself a happy Quizmaster. Just sayin.

We ended up with a pretty full house tonight even if you don't count the people there just for the Spurs. 12 squads showed up tonight to play and 12 teams finished. This was awesome! We even managed to grab this guy RAWB who was there to watch the game and get him to give it a whirl. I honestly didn't think RAWB would bother to finish the quiz with everyone since he was very much into the game. And I was wrong. RAWB had fun. RAWB finished the quiz with everyone else. He took on all comers and came up in last place but that's beside the point. The fact that he gave the quiz a shot and finished won him big props from the rest of the gang.

We also had team Royalty join us. I think that they joined us once before a few months back but they only lasted a few rounds. But tonight they were back, stayed for the whole quiz and plan on returning. All of that combined made for a perfect storm of amazeballs for quiz. It's awesome to have such a full house.

The best quiz shenanigans are the ones that are unscripted. Sam our resident jew won the email bonus prize for the first time in awhile. And what did Sam win? A bacon air freshener. Priceless! It's probably not kosher but I figure he's fine provided he doesn't lick it.

It was Mindy's birthday tonight as well! Happy Birthday, Mindy! She and her cohorts have been regulars at quiz for a really long time, so it was nice to celebrate with her on her special day. Her teammates love the narwhals that we occasionally give out so I told our birthday girl that if I had a narwhal I'd totally give it to her. Mindy informed me that she was pretty sure I had a narwhal in my pants! I politely told her I couldn't give her that particular narwhal because Paulina wouldn't let me. This is when Paulina asked Mindy how much cash she's got on her. Once again my darling wife trying to pimp my ass to quizzers for cash. So once again Mindy, happy birthday! Something tells me you're in for a rough day tomorrow judging by how you were pounding them back!

That's going to wrap things up for this week. I'll see you guys next week
