And by "chic" I mean whatever Brower said. Tonight was shaky! You guys were all staring at the sun instead of packing our tidy little quiz bar, at least until the sun set, and then you came out in droves. Thanks for that, as we were pretty worried that you had forsaken us.
Sharing the mic tonight was our newest addition to the local Geeks Force, heretofore known as "Other Eric." Dude's got some skills, and we'll be sharpening him up towards his first gig, coming soon to a sweet-ass quiz bar, possibly near you!
So anyway, the solar eclipse happened. People wore 5 pairs of sunglasses, welding goggles, and funky tubes to catch it - so that was nifty. Our quiz was strong, and rest assured once the renovations on the patio are completed - it'll be easier to hear (it) outside. Other Eric picked on team Bell Curve, which was a seemingly bottomless well of awesomeness. Teamy-team kept it in stride, cool-kids (and holy wow, longtime quizzers) that they are. Also, I think I still owe homeboy a knife ...
Until next week, werein some hot Memorial 3-Day Weekend action will be upon us. I'm going to dress up as the Memorial Day Wizard*, a little known character from American mythos. Check you then!
*Memorial Day Wizard closely resembles a hipster-ass Quizmaster who sleeps too much and sucks hoppy goodness. Just saying.

To be fair, it's only really guys with small Johnsons and butt fetishes that say that. You could have said that about quiz last night though. It wasn't all dicks and asses though, we had a so much more.
We started with DUH, a round on which you should have known EVERYTHING. By the way, here's that Earthworm Jim 2 level. My god that game was fun. Tough, but good. Also, I think the majority of the people who did miss the Harpo Marx question was simply because they're too young and/or shitty to know who The Marx Brothers were.
Our music round was all about knowing places. It's a shame that a round with such awesome artists like R.E.M. The Beatles, CCR, Doobie Brother and Bob Marley had to get lumped in with complete shit like Kid Rock, Lady Gaga and Nickelback. Although to be fair, Lady Gaga is better than the other two and Nickelback doesn't really get defined as music so much as a reason to stick a sharpened penicl in your ear canal.
Round three was on Ghostbuster Egon Spengler or Mythbuster Adam Savage. A big fuck and a you to all the teams who couldn't spell Egon. Do you even know what the Ghostbusters are? Have you heard of them? They were kind of a deal. Sorry, I love the Ghostbusters as much as I love my testicles. They're a part of me I can't live without and I can't respect anyone who doesn't share the same sentiments.
Speaking of things "down there," round 4 was all about everyday phallic items that represent small dongs. FYI - to the team of idiots who put down Red Bull instead of 5-Hour Engery. A)Do you have any idea how much 2 ounces is? Didn't think so. B)Do you know what a can of red bull looks like? And a penis? Because it wouldn't make a small one. Not like a sharpie, baby carrot or pencil would.
From there we moved to the classy world of animal buttholes. Don't think of it like a crude and tactless visual round. Think of it more like a quiz at the end of a David Attenborough documentary. "The Secret World of Buttholes." Coming later this year from BBC/Discovery.
Fernando, a man who will not sell himself to the night unless you buy him a drink first, read our Locks, Stocks, and Barrels round. Fun Fact: Paul Reubens, Mr. Pee Wee himself, is going to be 60. 60!
Following that was our round on Ellen Page. I'm not sure I completely see the appeal of Ellen Page. She's tiny, and cute, and.... that's all I got. Really I just can't picture her without picturing Michael Cera and his high pitched face that needs to get punched.
After a final round of complete random it was all over and we had our winners. But first! Don't forget that all next week O'Niell's parking lot will only be half open due to repaving. Plan accordingly, nerds.

At least for the next hour or so, my world is bereft of snoring, nightmarish lullabies and sundry friends. It's been a long weekend, and I'm rather eager to reclaim my planet, as I know it, here in the world.
Our quizzing was strong this evening, and it soared like so many blackened salmon upstream, to it's ultimate conclusion.
We had a sudden-death for 2nd and 3rd, too. So, that was pretty dope.
Until next week, wherein I shall be bereft of kickball (I know, right) and ready to melt your faces (like delicious grilled cheese,) for the win. You guys are the coolest, the keenest cats - and thanks so much for playing. See you then!
