It was a packed house at the RAM on the waterfront last night. Plenty of teams and some sweet quizzing to go along with them. We also had a guest in the house in the form of Elizabeth from Olympia. She’ll be heading up a quiz in Oly soon but was getting her feet wet in Tacoma. Now usually when two quizmasters meet it’s accompanied by copious amounts of beer mugs and sharing of the best food the bar has to offer. Tonight however ended up being different. First, your intrepid quizmaster Ozzimo had pulled a muscle in his back while trying to sleep (true story) and was on pain meds so no drinking for me. Second, our new quizmaster is gluten sensitive and couldn’t enjoy much beyond fries and hard cider. I’ve always said we do it differently in Tacoma. In third place we had “We Bring the Pain” with 65 points. After that we had a tie for first place between “School is out for Summer” and “Great! Cuz I'll Take Anything.” After a quiz tiebreaker round the winner by one point ended up being “Great! Cuz I'll Take Anything.” Well done.
So what did we learn? Mary Kay bribes old ladies with pink Caddys. It’s amazing how easily a song can be identified by a whistle riff. Most Tacomans don’t know Simon Pegg. My best idea of the night was to make the white girl quizmaster say the “Official Racism Round”. Literally everyone thinks Mila Kunis is hot. I’m disappointed more people couldn’t place the twins Charlene and Marlene (or is it Marlene and Charlene?)Lastly, too many people forgot Ripley and how she committed fucking genocide on the way to being a top ten Hero. See you all next week!

I came in to a packed house at the RAM last night. It was a nice evening and the beer was tasty. We rocked the new audio box with my Tacoma playlist. We also had some nice high scores! In third place with a solid 59 points is "Old Timers."
Second place went to a shorthanded "Dragonborn Pathogens" with 63 points. And in first place with 75 big points, "Vidal Sassoon's Final Cut."So, what did we learn tonight? We now have to call Shaq, "Dr. O'Neal." No teams scored from "Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor." David Spade thinks you know nothing about suits. We should start ending the quiz by saying "Ra'men." Tacoma knows how to cook the crack. Funny, I thought we were a meth-based city. See you all next week!

I could talk about many things that occurred at quiz last night but THESE are the things I choose to blog about. Why? Because I'm the god damn quizmaster, that's why. We had another high mark for teams last night with 10 teams. We had a 3rd place tiebreaker between "Old Timers" and "Dragonborn Pathogens" A mildly epic dance off ensued with the pink lady of Dragonborn meeting the mighty bald brain of Old Timers. My bias for bald men is matched only by my fetish for neon colored hair. In the end Dragonborn took the prize. :) In 2nd we had "To Quiz or not to Quiz, there is no Question." who came back from a deep early deficit. And in First place and taking the title of longest god damn name in a long while "Since it's almost Cinco de Mayo, We brought 1/5th of a Mexican to quiz."
So, what did we learn tonight? People underestimate the 2 dollar bill. Somehow, almost all my teams forgot California Love. They also forgot the show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" Everyone though the Yamato was the Missouri. Awkward. Tony Bennet outlasted his duet partner. People get really excited when they are rewarded for actually watching the movie "Waiting." America's Most Wanted has put away over 1000 bad guys. Nice job. See you all next week!
