A Few Things We Learned Tonight:

Lets be clear the dude on Titty Tuesday did not choose the name… thanks for the clarification.

Dude is very proud to watch the View

I love that everyone sang the Prince Ali song

Guinea Pigs lead from the get go, and never looked back taking first place the entire night.  There was however a bit more drama deciding second and third. Simba Meat Tacos and Hey Hey Va-Jay Jay settled it the old fashioned way with a quiz off with Simba Meat Tacos taking third.

We’ll be back again next week at 8pm on Tuesday at Jordan’s

Midterms at DU meant that only the true geeks, the passionate quizzlings, the master question-answering-type were in attendance at last night’s quiz.  Sure, all those other losers are studying for their big test and making sure they’re not wasting mom and pop’s money but you, dear quizzlings, know that you can learn a lot more at quiz than you can at the library.

You learned that AOL was originally called Control and was designed for the Atari 2600 and that bright orange hot-pants and a certain white trash sexiness do not mean that Hooters wings are any better than average.

You learned that Alannah Myles sang Black Velvet but you didn’t learn why you should give a damn.

You learned that the Denver Nuggets make perennial playoff appearances; they just get knocked out in the first round every time.  Damn Nuggets.

You learned that blue beryl is aquamarine and you learned what the hell a beryl was.

You learned to listen.  When I explained there was a minor error on the visual round and that Hamlet was actually NOT an answer, I didn’t see any team write down Hamlet.  Good for you for paying attention.

You learned that celebrities and diseases aren’t so far removed.

You re-learned all you childhood knowledge by listening to old, educational children’s TV shows.

You learned to blame Australia for the unforgiveable act of unleashing Speedos upon the world.

Maybe your late-night drinking won’t get you a degree, quizzlings, but, rest assured, you can learn a lot more at a bar than you can at a university.  

A Few Things We Learned Tonight:

We sat next to hilarity in a table… 21 something yr old girls who were clueless… what ensued was gold

The table to the right of us multiplied faster than rabbits in a sack

They could not grasp the concept of pub quiz

Like what is Sonic the Hedgehog?!?

Giving me questions specifically about foreign words is never a good thing

Withdrawl came into this week as 6 time defending champions and they couldn’t stack up to the pressure.  As the saying goes, never call a perfect game before its actually a perfect game.  But on the opposite end of the spectrum, tonight proved to be the ultimate underdog story.  After attending Jordan’s for 3 years, the Dirty Ponies finally took first place honors for the first time.  Congrats to our friends the Dirty Ponies.  It’s My 23^rd Birthday aka Withrdawl lost out in a tiebreaker and took second.  And I call my Dick Cheney rounded out the top three.
