I'm writing the blog and I haven't even left Coaches yet! Quiz just ended and I'm already blogging. Why? Because I have a 6AM flight to Philly to compete at a quiz against the bastards who won Geek Bowl this year. Do you care? Probably not. So let's take a look.
Our duh! round managed to stump quite a bit of you this evening. The biggest mistake most made was thinking SOS stood for something. I'm sure some dude somewhere on a boat thought, "Hey! That would make a great acronym," but any real dude into Morse code knows it's based off of nothing.
Our music round was all about whipping. Cheers to the Bobby team for confusing Willow Smith with Jaden Smith. Uhh... no. Round three tested your knowledge on things that happened in the 80s and 90s and most of you did pretty darn good on it.
Nerd words followed. One team screwed up big time, confusing Tatooine as the "Star Wars city-planet that glimmers with buildings." Yeah, Tatooine was that giant fucking West Texas-like wasteland with a giant man-eating vagina with tentacles housed in the middle of it.
After our visual round we came to round six: Gingers and Jews. Here a team tried to correct my Jew-question. NUH-UH, BITCHES. Rule 2 - Don't Fuck With The Quizmaster. Especially one who goes by Eric The JEWISH Viking. Yeah.
After another awesome visual round and a perplexing round 8 we had found our winners of quiz:

Why kick ass? Because that's what the night was. After two weeks away from your lovely faces, it was a genuine pleasure to be back hosting for you fine quizzers. You shining examples of nerd. You dorky, awkward examples of social ineptness. Here's how it went down:
We started the night with the letter K. K for things like Kix, Koala, Kuwait, Kanada, Kalkutta, and kaopectate. Which, after two weeks away from green chile was something I found useful upon my return to the land of enchantment.
Our music round was songs about cheating, which is cool if I get to watch. One team insulted REO Speedwagon, which is a shame. They also only got Rhianna and Britney Spears right, so I'm not looking towards them for a sign of intelligence or anything. They're probably in the cult of Billy Bush or something.
Our third round continued pressing your musical knowledge with our say when round on rock bands. Some of you did good, some of you not as good. But too many people confused The Ramones with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and The Rolling Stones with The Beach Boys. But almost all of you got The Arcade Fire, which just proves what dirty hipsters I'm surrounded by on Thursdays.
Sloppy seconds followed, a round that wasn't as herpes filled as I know some of you would have liked. Then we had our visual round on Stick Figure Theatre. Everyone did super well on this one, but tell me, how many of you have actually seen The Informant!? My guess: no one.
Pop Culture Math came up next and most of you did pretty good. That's good to know, since I can now tell my writers to start throwing in some basic algebra next time a math round comes up. I'm doing it for you.
Round seven was a return to doing the video rounds. It wasn't too hard, and I'm sure the Macaulay Home-Less Alone team got a kick out of his lifeless body in My Girl. An acrobat, really? Lofty dreams, kid. Also, Heathers is still an awesome movie that I never get tired of.
Then came our final round. Randomness was abound and it brought up some interesting conversation, like how much Dick Cheney is like Darth Vader, that you don't steal hats form bears, that Brenden Fraser is the mark of film quality, that Dinosaurs had an ending that scarred children, and that bestiality isn't in Mortal Kombat - yet. In the end, it was a great night and a fantastic welcome back. I'll see you next week!

Always a joy, dear Coaches, to rock your hizz - especially on the end of my 6-consecutive night quiz run. Not only are you like, 4 blocks from my house - you are full of love, and for that, so many cheers.
Tonight's was of the very best towards quizzing stuffs. Faces I don't get to see so often anymore, and more that I have not yet made the acquaintance. Also, delicious pints? Readily available.
Despite missing out on your regularly-scheduled video round, I think our sailing ship was cast unto high and favorable winds this evening. Friendly faces everywhere, and humble folks without temptation.
Until next time (when Eric wusses out, which will inevitably happen,) I'll catch you on the flippety-flip and what not. Thanks for having me once again!
