That's right Denverites, you can quiz at Casey's Bistro & Pub tonight, the only place a quiz goes down in Denver.

For my fellows in the 505, you can also attend Coaches Sports Grill where they're giving away some serious prizes for the winners!

At least if you're in Denver. Both Rock Bar and Rackhouse Pub are quizzing tonight. 8pm.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Sorry Redhook fans, you'll have to get your boozy fix in moms basement tonight, it'll be just like the good ol' days. Memories...*sigh*. There was some plumbing issues going on, no that's not a euphemism after my night full of quaaludes a poor, poor Filipino man. This is legitimate, Forecaster's is closed and will be back in action next week for all your geeky/boozy needs.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may've caused you and/or undue hardship. So much so that we'll make it up to you, by that we mean give you the quiz next week and remind you to look at the blog from last week and reminisce.

Dear Quizzers,

Sadly, the rumors are true. Fado terminated us after a visual round that appeared in Thursday’s quiz in Denver. The round is posted below.

After three tables complained and left, Fado’s regional manager came to the decision that GWD has done irreparable harm to its reputation and could not be trusted running the quiz at either location.

We respect Fado’s decision to fire us. Our quiz is not rated G. Did this round cross the line? I suppose that depends on your politics and, um, where the line is. If you’re conservative, hopefully you’ve played our quiz when we’ve made fun of liberals and the far left. We strive to be equal opportunity offenders.

The round was intended as satire. While explaining a joke is almost always the opposite of funny, it’s probably worthwhile in this case. The aim was to parrot the hysteric ideological schizophrenia of the far right, i.e., “teabaggers,” whose protest signs suggest our President is simultaneously a communist, a Nazi, a terrorist and an abortionist — among other things. Using photos of actual protesters illustrated that they were the target of satire, rather than suggesting President Obama is any of those things. Political geeks and Third Reich scholars know that Nazism and Communism are conflicting ideologies so how could Obama be both, right? Oh well, that’s the subject of another blog.

We’re not looking for sympathy or to organize a pitchfork mob; we just wanted to let our players know what happened and to state that we are standing by our editorial decision. We think the round is effective, if not wildly sophisticated, satire and it’s in keeping with our editorial policy of not being boring. Sometimes there’s a price to pay for that and this is one of those times. It probably won’t be the last.

While we believe Fado may have made its decision in haste, we bear them no ill will and wish them the best in their future endeavors.

If you have comments or concerns please leave them below.

British Bulldog, The Rio (Denver), Govnr's Park and Bside Lounge are all off for the holiday.

Quick heads up that The British Bulldog, The Rio, and Wyman's are all off tonight because of the holiday and the playoff game.

If you're in Denver, play at The Irish Hound.

Springs, Austin, Seattle are quizzing as usual.

TONIGHT!!!

Please trust that I thought of several different ways of making some sort of even remotely humorous wordplay to describe this series of awesome benefit quizzes, but it just wasn't appropriate so I'll break it down for you as follows:

Geeks Who Drink is teaming up with the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, for a series of benefit quizzes. What does this mean for you? You canWIN CASH! (and support a great cause).

All of the CCASA GWD quizzes will be $10.00 a head to play. $10 from each team will go into the cash purse. Winning team takes all (as well as the house prize).

Yes, you can still "play" the quiz without paying but your soul will shrink, if not shrivel, and you won't be eligible to win cash.

TONIGHT!!!
