So, since tonight was our last night at Pour House, I wanted to write my bloggie in what I refer to as a "state of loving inebriation".  What does that mean, you ask?  That's where shit get's reeeaaal senitmental, or something.  I invented the term when my husband brought me home flowers from some lady at a bar.  It's really the only time I get flowers.  So as I'm typing I'm on my fourth or fifth cocktail (did I mention I'm only 4'11"?  That's like, a lot of booze!) and has taken the party to my couch.  Also, I don't know about you, but I get a hankerin' for drag queen movies when I'm drinking, so here we are, once again watching To Wong Fu: Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, much to my husband's dismay.  Did I ever mention that I fancy myself to be a drag queen trapped in a female dwarf's body?  Wait, what was I talking about?  Riiiight, tonight's quiz...

So any who, we had a full house tonight with eleventy teams.  Not too shabby for our last quiz!  And not just our regular teams either, we even had some new faces, who sadly just happened to get a taste of quizzly awesomenicity at the end of our run.  I hope they seek us out and keep an eye on the venue schedule!  Just like a pubecent boner, you never know where I'm gonna pop up!  Hahahahahaha, boner I said.

Our first three rounds featured short things (me?!?), peer pressure and dem pesky statutory rape laws.  Our audio rounds variety of "Let's" songs were super fun, but holy crap, how disappointing to see how many people didn't get Salt-N-Pepa's Let's Talk About Sex.  Serial though, am I aging myself by knowing that song or something?  Whatevs.  Round three was the great equlizer of the game though, as no one seems to know the cutoff ages for ANYTHING... I can only imagine what laws my teams are breaking out there!

Snakes, Dolly and Sumo Wrestling?!?  The next three rounds were clearly written with Quizmaster Cha in mind!  Round four was all about snakes and being a lover and collecter of reptiles, I was all over this shit!  Round six's theme "Dollys & Llamas" was perfect for the Dolly Parton loving FFA State Farmer's Degree earning type, who also just happens to be me.  Then the secret interweb question was about Sumo Wrestling, which I happen to be training in.  Like I said, someone had me in mind!  I don't blame whoever wrote these questions though, I'm pretty amazeballs.  Also, I decided that since it's our last night, everyone who got the interweb answer right won a prize, damn it, 'cause that's how I roll.  So there ya go.

Our last two rounds of the evening proved to be pretty tricky as most of our teams had a relatively low score on our second audio round of the night featuring TV mayors.  With round eight comes redemption though as our random knowledge round always has the high scorin' potential that could shoot anyone into first place and pub quiz supremacy.  A lot of questions were real thinkers though.  In the end we had two regular teams and one new team emerge victorious!  Congrats to teams Jerry's Team (not to be confused with Jerry's kids, although I already made the comparison early on), Hot 4 Teachers and Will I See You Next Monday?!? for a job well done and for reaping the last benefits to be reaped from Pour House.  An huge honorable mention goes out to team Les Quizarables for making me seriously try to say that shit all night (unsuccessfully, btw) and team Merby's Law: Men Who Wear Skates Should Play Hockey for saying what we've all been thinking.  OK, maybe just those of us with our fingers on the pulse of the roller derby community, but still, a valid point!

So um, I don't know where to end this blog 'cause 1. I'm drunk and shit's coming out kind of silly and 2. I don't want it to end, damn it!  I had a great time working with this venue and all of my teams, and I hope to have the privelidge of calling another place home soon.  Til then, kisses everyone!!

*disclaimer: this blog post was not at all edited as I felt it would take away from my loving inebriation.  Deal with it.  And seriously, when the hell am I gonna figure out this damn camera?!?  Blurry pictures, every damn week!

Tonight's quiz was an intimate evening of new teams, old friends and a massive rip in my crotch.  I don't know what it is with me and jeans, but I seriously blow out the ass or crotch of every pair in a relatively short time span.  The pair I was wearing today were lent to me by a friend when the massive ass rip in the other pair I was wearing went from borderline cheeky to full on trap door status.  Unfortunately for said loner pants, they suffered a similar fate when a sequence of on stage lunges caused a large amount of crotchal carnage.  Sadly for the crowd, putting the mic to my crotch while it ripped didn't have as awesome of a sound effect as I had hoped.  Lame.  Any who, enough about my crotch, there's some quizzly goodness to discuss!

Our first group of rounds featured recent shit, calendar fun set to music and chicks lovin' ALL the balls (baseballs that is!).  We had a pair of gentleman who immediately yelled out the answer to the first question of the night.  Good lord, guys, I JUST said not to do that!  Losers.  They weren't even playing, just sitting there being asshats.  After a gentle mocking, they went back to their conversation and didn't cause anymore irritable Cha syndrome.  I had a great time entering all of the awesome team names tonight, and even got to name one team who had not yet taken the liberty of doing so.  The Team Who Shall Not Be Named will always hold a special place in my heart.

After the scoring break, we jumped right back into the game and pondered the world of ice and bergs and icebergs, identified half nekkid televangelists (poorly, btw) and pretended that we actually follow the rules when playing games (it's only cheating if you get caught...).  Everyone had a tuff time with our visual round featuring fun loving televangelists engaging in Burning Man shenanigans, and overall, round five was relatively low scoring. 

Our last two rounds included a pretty fun audio round of movie sequels and a high scoring random knowledge round.  A joker sneak during round eight shot middle of the rankings team Ladies of Steampunk.com straight passed Epic Beardness-The Miguel del Gallego Tribute Band and into a second place win by one point.  Just goes to show you that you gotta strategize those jokers, folks! 

This week's featured fridge doodle is brought to you by Ladies of Steampunk.com, who always come with a supply of quality doodles.  Great job guys!  Epic Beardness-The Miguel del Gallego Tribute Band also supplied some chuckles with a menagerie of joker creatures.  My favorite?  Probably the Joker-tee, a joker manatee cross.  Brilliance! 

For those who may have missed tonight's announcement, next monday will be our last quiz at Pour House.  Whether you have never had a chance to check out the fun or are one of my regular teams, be there at eight or spend the rest of your life wondering how much fun you missed!  Let's go out with a bang, folks! Til then, goodnight, me and my cats are going mee mees.

Thanks to the wonders of beer week, I came to Pour House to find a full house for tonight's quiz.  Of the ten teams playing tonight, almost half of them were newcomers, which I love.  Yay for new friends!  And yes, I love my regular teams too; you're the backbone of my humble little quiz night! 

Our first three rounds had us Playing with Palindromes, visiting far away nations through song and playin' some ball.  Only one person in the crowd had to ask what a palindrome was, so there's that, we had a pretty good first round.  Our audio round was actually a bit harder than I had anticipated as all teams had troubles indentifying different song/artists that feature different nationalities.  Mexican Radio has been stuck in my head ever since, my coworkers will enjoy hearing it on a loop tomorrow morning, I'm sure, as I mindlessly sing it over and over again.  Round three was worth a potential two points per answer, and two teams, Something's Gotta Come and Ladies of Steampunk.com were crafty enough to take advantage of their jokers too.  Quadruple points!  Smart maneuvering folks, and needless to say, they were our top two teams after the scoring break.

Our second group of rounds featured two-word cities, a whole buttload of Kanye and Christ on a Cracker.  Our round on two-word cities was actually a bit different from other rounds I've read before and was relatively fun.  The teams as a whole had a relatively easy time with our visual round identifying Kanye's movie remakes and it was, overall, a high scoring round.  And then there was round six.  What a room full of heathens!  My love of Jesus Christ Superstar made me pretty qualified, but everyone else had a hell of a time answering questions regarding our Lord and crackers. 

Our last two rounds included movies about movies and random ass shit!  The second audio round of the evening was more successful than the first and everyone had an overall higher score.  Then came our last and final round, random knowledge!  I love random knowledge, the questions are high scoring and anyone can sneak by as the winner.  Also, I love reptiles, and am not one to pass up on a skink/skank joke.  After the final tally, our leaders throughout the night, Something's Gotta Come, emerged victorious!  Congrats to our newcomers!

This week's featured doodle is brought to you by another one of our new teams, Three's Company, who doodled some disappointed little critters after a poor audio round.  Naturally, Ladies of Steampunk.com and Fish Dicks also came through with some quality doodles as well, and I had a tough decision to make.  I stand by my winner though!  And on that note, I'm going to bed!  Goodnight folks!!
