It was another awesome night of Pub Quiz with the Geeks Who Drink Crew at Little Woodrow’s RV this week. Thanks to those who came out to play and watch the Heat lose.
The Game of Thrones quiz last weekend was a big success. Stay tuned to the GWD website for the next “Themed Quiz”. Also, while you’re there, check out the RUMBLE IN THE PUB. Register your team for the 1st ever invitational tournament.
This week at Pub Quiz we did our public duty of reminding everyone that Father’s Day is this weekend. We had some team names that were pretty damn good. There were some different versions of what is considered “Daddy”. Do Sugar Daddies Count (always) / Puff Daddies (if you’s a true playa’)/ I Have Two Moms :( (or How I met Your Mothers)/ Mom Got Dad a Vasectomy for Father’s Day (knowing who is on this team, I don’t blame her, ha)
There’s also this witty team name Chris Hanson Prevented Me from Being a Father on Father’s Day. I’ve got to give these guys the Honorable Mention nod. That’s some funny shit right there.
But the Best Team Name (BTN) Award winners this week were I Ate My Sugar Daddy.
The Email Bonus Question Winner this week was Carey. If you want to be a winner like her, you have to sign up for the weekly email.
Han Solo Award went to ELLIS. The highest scoring solo player.
And the coveted T-Ball Beer Award this week went to Like Father Like Son. (I’ll take her word for it) This team came in next to last of all the teams that played all 8 rounds.
Congratulations to all of this week’s winners.
We had a tie for 3rd place this week. Puff Daddies and Victory Buffet battled it out for the $10 gift certificate. In the end this is how the rankings went.
(Too Many Players to Win) - Do Sugar Daddies Count – 79pts
1st Place – Who’s Your Daddy? – 75pts
2nd Place – You Are Not My Father! – 74pts
3rd Place – Victory Buffet – 73pts
4th Place – Puff Daddies – 73pts (won nothing - womp womp)
Join us next week at Little Woodrow’s Rice Village at 8:00PM sharp for Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz where our Best Team Name theme will be Making Fun of Summer Movies. Pick a 2013 summer movie title and make fun of it. The most original and funny team name takes home the prize.
Cheers
See You Next Tuesday

GAME OF THRONE FANS/NERDS --> Click Here
Join us this Saturday, June 8th 6pm sharp at Lucky Strike, 1201 San Jacinto Street, Houston, TX for the Game of Thrones paid quiz.
Yes, like everything else it’s more fun when you pay for it.
Go! Have Fun! Enjoy! Oh, and Thanks GWD.
In the immortal words of Bender, “I’m Back Baby!” Yes I am back at it after a two week hiatus. (OK, now I’m trying to forget that Futurama is canceled, again! argh)
Thank you all for the well wishes and welcome backs. Yes it is true that I got the chance to go bumming around Burgundy in France for 2 weeks and it was all paid for. Yes it was AWESOME. Wouldn’t you if you got the chance? I thought so.
This week’s Best Team Name (BTN) theme was “Where the Hell has Jared been?” And WOW did we get some good ones.
Automatically two teams went with: Jared’s Gender Reassignment Surgery and Apparently Sex Changes Take 2 Weeks. I’m not quite sure what made them go there?
Other teams were more general: Lake Titty Caca / Tijuana Prison OR Tied Up in Ellis’ Basement / Lost His Balls / STD’s in the Red Light District / Around the World in 14 Days / With Waldo
Other teams got really specific: Jared Was Meeting His Russian Mail Order Bride / Petting the Lion, Screwing the Witch, and Buying a New Wardrobe / Filming Blade 4: Rise of the Daywalkers
The Honorable Mention BTN for being the most original was Cocaine-fueled 80’s Style Murder Spree. They didn’t really win anything, but I thought it was funny.
This week’s BEST TEAM NAME AWARD went to I’ve Been in Ginger Hell, Because Gingers Have No Soul. Now technically that isn’t true. I happen to own a Kia Soul. So, Ha. I do have a Soul, and it’s black. Imagine that a Ginger with a black Soul. Congratulations guys and enjoy those beers.
No Han Solo this week. Huh, no one wanted to play with themselves in public?
The coveted T-Ball Beer Award which is awarded to the team that comes in next to last of the teams who play all 8 rounds. This week the T-Ball Beers went to Belgian Waffles. Congrats guys!
We had a 3-WAY tie for 2nd Place this week. Only 2 out of the three of them wanted to do a chug-off. So, it was back to the Price is Right style question. And since I had been in France for 2 weeks where I was forced to use the Metric System (and where the only thing I could ask for was the toilet and the check) I thought it’d be fitting to have a question about converting the answer to meters. This one took a long time to answer. I think the Jeopardy song probably played 3 times on this one. I know several of them wanted to use a calculator, but did I get to use one in France? Well, yes, but that’s beside the point. When the answers were submitted here is how the rankings broke down.
1st Place – I Told You to Get That Shit Checked Out, Jared – 83pts
2nd Place – Fire & Blood & Lebron – 78pts
3rd Place – Filming Blade 4: Rise of the Daywalkers – 78pts
4th Place – Lake Titty Caca – 78pts (didn’t win a damn thing)
Join us next week where our Team Name theme will be Father’s Day, and the shitty gifts we give them. If you have some Yo Daddy jokes let’s hear em’.
Remember when I mentioned “Rumble In The Pub”? Well, check it out here --> RUMBLE IN THE PUB
See You Next Tuesday!
Cheers

Hey now, quizzers! Mark here, filling in for Jared before he makes his triumphant return next Tuesday. We had a healthy crowd for last nights quiz, with a strong to quite strong field of 26 teams.
Our best team name theme for this week was in honor of this past weekend's Comicpalooza. The field was open to any sort of geek culture references that you could throw in, from comic books to Star Wars to fantasy and beyond. In the end, the team name that CJ and I liked the best (and that got the biggest laugh from the crowd) was I Shaved My Wookie for This?!?
Round 2 presented an interesting challenge, as it asked teams to identify the original artists and song title for tunes that had been transformed into commercial jingles. Perhaps the most embarassing of them was the Snuggie cover of the Macerena. It's an awfully annoying song that had it's annoyance factor turned up to 11 by combining it with lyrics about Snuggies. I bet you still have those lyrics stuck in your head as you're reading this now and you're happy because your arms are free in a Snuggie.
After the first scoring break, we had a surprise front runner. Ellis, a Han Solo player, was actually in the lead by a comfortable margin. This is the first time I've personally witnessed a solo player leading the pack at any point in the game, so kudos to Ellis on being a good strong trivia player man.
Unfortunately, Ellis wasn't able to hold on through the end. Thanks to a strong visual round and a Roun 8 score of 15 out of 16, My Date Has Four Boobs came away with the win, edging out second place finisher Pew, Pew, Pew, Pew, 'Merica. We thought we had a tie at first, but Darth Vader and David Carradine ending up winning third by default as Fuck Rule #2 had more than 6 players by their own admission.
Next week, the best team name theme will be "Where in the hell have you been, Jared?!?" Take wild stabs with your team names as to why Jared has been on hiatus these past two weeks!
