5th Street Icehouse 500 Austin Avenue Waco, TX 76701 Mondays: 8:00 PM View All Posts |
Historically, it's never safe to be downtown when there is tornadic activity looming in the sky, but when you're at 5th Street Icehouse for Geeks Who Drink, at least you'll be surrounded by laughter if shit were to go down. I mean, it's no safer than if you were hiding in oh, let's say a gas chamber, or an oven, but again, you wouldn't be having such a great time riding out the storm than if you were at a bar with your friends. The same applies for the zombie apocalypse, or any other disaster. Just don't die on the way to the bar, or in the gas chamber, or in the oven. That would suck.  [ more ]

Finding roc's teeth. The birth of a unicorn in a shower of rainbow placenta. Me not cleaning my plate. A perfect score at Geeks Who Drink. (What are, impossibly rare events?)
Those in attendance witnessed Bonnie, Jim, Wes, Mark, Dallas, and Jen pull off a perfect game as Riders on the Storm. Having had most of these guys playing in quizzes of mine for the past three years, it's the closest I'll get to watching a vagina and wallet destroying spawn of mine graduate from an ivy league college.
If you don't know how rare this is, no one at GWD headquarters can remember this ever [ more ]

Oh dear, oh dear.
This is it. It's been a good run.
And it'll continue to be a good run, just a good run with not so much of me in it.
Don't worry, though – I wouldn't abandon you to just anybody. Andy's been doing this as long and [almost] as well as I have. And if he's a little rusty, well, don't forget: don't fuck with the quizmaster. At least not during the quiz. Before and after, he's fair game.
Just no atomic wedgies, agreed?
And I should have known you guys wouldn't send me off with a whimper, but a bang. The top three teams were all in t [ more ]

Jake's Boiler Room 5018 Connecticut Ave NW Washington, DC 20008 Mondays: 8:00 PM View All Posts |
Man, I could recite wrestling quotes for 2 hours. That's what everyone gets when GWD decides to do a quasi-WWF theme for round 1.
As always, we had our usual 2/3 regular barflies sprinkled with a few rookies. John finally took a night off, and Terrance held it down for everyone--even the team that ordered that Coors Light tower with the helmet.Many people did well on the WWE round-IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW WELL PEOPLE DID ON THE WWE ROUNDRound 2 on music-WHAT? Tunes-WHAT? Songs-WHAT? Was kind to many teams, especially Clara Barton--who aced a round of 16 and used a joker to [ more ]

Tony's Darts Away 1710 W Magnolia Blvd Burbank, CA 91506 Mondays: 8:00 PM View All Posts |
Some of the teams named themselves rather negatively… like Not Gonna Win, and Epic Fail. Others, however, chose the positivity route, with names like Awesome and Power Ballin'! Attitude counts, guys, remember that. After my little lecture over the mic, Not Gonna Win had a change of heart, and changed their name to Not Gonna Wings. Who needs to make grammatical sense? It's all good!We had a dramatic tie for first place, with Pathz of Glory beating Power Ballin'! in the tiebreaker round. Between the team who decided it was a good idea to put an African " !
