Durty Nelly's Irish Pub and Restaurant, Costa Mesa CA, Wednesdays, 7 p.m. 		Gerardo (Gerry-oke)

I'm a hockey-loving (GO DUCKS!) karaoke addict.  I love playing board games or party games but, strangely, not much of a gamer (as in video games).  I'm an attention whore, and I get turned on by proper punctuation, grammar and word-usage; if you know a big word (and know how to use it!), it'll move.  Guaranteed.  A lot of this plays into being a GWD Quizmaster, and I love it.  My venue is my second home, so come on over... but just know that you're on my turf, sucka!  See you soon!  Heh heh heh...

Long Beach, I don’t know what’s happening with your law enforcement but I got pulled over TWICE in one night while rolling through your town.  Now, I’m not going to say that it was racial profiling because I’m just about the “whitest-looking” Central American dude you’ll probably ever meet, and I’m not going to say that it wasn’t justified because it was; the first time, as I was arriving at the Auld Dub, was because one of my brake lights is out and the second, as I was leaving for the night, was because my dumbass forgot to turn on the headlights.  Completely my fault.  My point is that both times, I was very polite and didn’t argue with the fine (and I do mean fine) officers and, you know what?  No ticket.  Either time.  Be nice to Johnny Law, guys.  No joke.  Oh, yeah, there was also a quiz that happened and junk.  Wanna hear about it?  Read on!

Round 1: Short Film Credits – “OVER THE LINE!!!”

Round 2: This Doesn’t Sound Like Mariah Carey – One can only take so much Enrique Iglesias.

Round 3: Which Came First? Junk Food Edition – The Whopper before the Big Mac?  Dr. Pepper before Coke?  What’s this world come to?

Round 4: A Man, a Plan, a Canal, Panama! – Ron was just ready with either “1984” or “Van Halen” for this round’s bonus question... and it paid off handsomely.

Round 5: The Road to Fame – If you’re confused about my pronunciation of “Lindsay Lohan” during this round, click here...

Round 6: Abrafuckingdabra – So, can we safely posit from this round that all magicians are complete tools?

Round 7: Hollywood to Arlen – “THAT’S MAH PURSE!!!  I DON’T KNOW YEW!!!”

Round 8: Random Knowledge – For the Condoleezza Rice questions, Team Harry Ballzonya wrote that she was classically trained in the recorder, and that her position during W’s first tearm was “on her knees.”  Also, Team My Team Sucks said the four tournaments for Jeopardy!  are “College, Teen, Big Boobs, Porn Stars.”  Oh, if only.  If the game show “Street Smarts” could have Playboy Playmates as contestants for a whole week, “Jeopardy!” should be able to pull that off!  Get on that, Trebek!

Winners’ Circle – Madness!  Aforementioned Team Harry Ballzonya was in first the whole game having bowled a strike in R2 and applying that joker.  Friends leave right before R8 and one guy was left to fend for himself.  Unfortunately, it was apparent that his friends’ presence would have been beneficial.  Sorry, dude.  Below are the people that took home the gold.  And the silver. And the bronze.  [Gold, silver and bronze, not included]

Third place: Team Harry Ballzonya – Not Armenian?  Could have sworn it was.

Second place: Team Audit This! – Someone’s in trouble with the IRS...

First place: Team Sparkle Motion – “B-Dazzle?”  “Sparkle Motion?”  Ummmm... what?

Your email bonus question winner this week was... that dude above, B-Dazzle, even though he cheated!  Just kidding!  He got himself some Arabian Lights!  Rub it three times, B...

Team name bonus point went to Team Ain’t Nobody Got Thyme for a Team Name!  I love me some Sweet Brown, and I liked the culinary bend on that.

Visit us on the webz, won’t you?  It’s lonely out here...

Thanks for everything, Long Beach, staff and quizzers alike.  I’ll be back soon, I'm sure... unless I get thrown in jail or something.  Until then...

CHEERS!!!

Quiz Schedule
Monday nights at 8:00 at the Auld Dubliner in Long Beach! Tuesday nights at 9:00 at Complex in Glendale! 		Miles (Miles)

Miles got a college degree in acting, and look at him now! He's deftly avoided the pitfalls of riches and fame, and is still keepin' it real. So very real.

You can see him many weekends playing in Fullerton's beloved Improv Shmimprov comedy group.

Periodically, you can catch his work as a long time member of Rogue Artists Ensemble, bringing you masks, and puppets, and god-only-knows what else.

He's also currently the merch guy for the groundbreaking art-rock outfit known as The Residents.

He does parties, bar mitzvahs, weddings and what-have-you. Just don't ask what he does at them.

I complain a little bit about complacency and lack of competition, and this is what I get? A quiz with four double-point rounds and almost twice the number of quizzers? Well holy crap, I wish for a... uh... a sandwich and... uh... a million dollars and... I dunno...

...world peace?

Man this ultimate power of wishing shit is hard.

Meanwhile, back in reality, it turns out that a big part of the reason for the population boom was that our excellent manager Chris had just the day before stumbled into some wedded bliss. Which, I guess, explains the higher-than-average count of redheads walking around.

Heredity is CRAZY.

So congratulations to Chris! And welcome to the passel of new quizzers! Many happy returns of the day to all of the above, though if Chris celebrates every week-iversary of his new marriage, that's gonna get exhausting pretty quick. Quiz can keep going on a weekly basis, though.

So! 8 rounds! FOUR double-point rounds! One Joker! That is a potential...

...let's see...

8 times 4 plus 16 times 4 plus another 16 for the joker equals...

A metric fuckton of points.

No team walked away with the entire fuckton, but a high score of 92 is nothing to be ashamed of.

Unless shame's your thing – it's not for me to judge if you require a little humiliation in your diet.

Rounds 2 and 3, our audio round on the letter A and our Sooner or Later round on artists and their singles – those were the rounds that our high-scorers really cleaned up on.

Nnnnot quite so much on rounds 7 and 8, which were about corporate commercials and the ever-popular Random Knowledge.

Not that I'm complaining. You guys played with a lot of heart. Guts. Chutzpah.

Even if you can't actually pronounce “chutzpah”. I'm looking at you, team who thought the top in Inception was a dreidel.

Okay, some of you might have had a little too much in the way of guts. Like, stay away from blizzards because they'll never be able to find you in all that white, white. Like they created a version of Where's Waldo about you that was just blank pieces of paper.

Very white, is what I'm saying here.

So now we know where we can go for our uncomfortable and vaguely racist humor at quiz. Check. And if we need something slight homophobic, well, we've got that covered too. Last night they came through with the team name Did Jason Collins Drop the Soap On Purpose? I don't deduct points for awkwardness, but that didn't help them reach any higher than 6th place.

In 3rd place, with a team name that hovered midway between awkward and crowdpleasing, was Y'all Like To Fuck? I didn't deduct points for mild racism either, and confusingly enough 2nd place went to team ...And in 3rd Place.

And out grand champions for the night, with an unsettling 13-point lead, were those monsters of quiz known as JFKFC. Somebody's gonna have to take those suckers down. I'm not saying you should slip something into their drinks, because that would be illegal.

I'm not saying that.

He does parties, bar mitzvahs, weddings and what-have-you. Just don't ask what he does at them.

Some nights are just so simple, so drama-free, that you really can't do anything but worry.

Why is it so quiet? Is this what they mean when they say “a little too quiet”? Is that even an actual thing?

No national tragedies (that I was aware of). No last-minute problems with sound or printing. No big groups of angry people in the corner.

Heck, there really wasn't even any conflict about the scores. You all seemed to decide on a ranking right at the top of the quiz and then pretty much stick with it for the duration.

Kind of a nice breather, and I'm sure we all needed it.

 

Now cut that shit out.

I'm not saying we need any more national tragedies, 'cause we don't. I'm saying that as human beings we thrive on change and conflict and challenge.

We need something to struggle against, and I'm not just talking about struggling to stay awake after team If you were any more inbred you'd be a sandwich has taken a giant-ass lead and you've pretty much given up hope of scoring first or of, you know, being a worthwhile human being for the next couple of hours.

You're better than that!

Or at least you should pretend to be!

A couple of teams tried to stir some shit up and keep it interesting. BAG and Long Beach Grand Prius Winners decided to try to liven things up by giving the quizmaster shit about his bonus prize ruling.

Whining is not a good way to keep things interesting. Especially not whining about the QM being too lenient about an answer. The day you start turning down any points you get because I decided you were close enough on a song title, that is the day I will take that shit seriously.

Until then, sometimes I will be forgiving about an answer, sometimes I will be a hardass. It is my god-given right to be mercurial. Given to me by Mercury. Why, which god would you expect?

And If We Lose By One Point Again I'm Gonna Choke A Bitch tried to get some conflict started with their very name. Sadly, it didn't take, as they were 17 points behind at the end there.

So, I dunno... you've got a week. Do what you've gotta do. Get angry. Get focused. Get laid. Whatever it takes.

And come next week, I wanna see some compe-goddamn-TITION.
