Quiz Schedule
Thursdays 8PM @ Bumsted's at 500 N. 4th Ave.,Tucson, AZ, (NE corner of 6th St. & 4th Ave.) 		Julio (Jean-Luc)

If there is one thing you must know about Jean-Luc (or "Julio" for those of you feeling saucy) it is that he loves scotch sours. Doesn't matter what kind of scotch goes into the sour, be it well scotch, Glenlivet, or Laphroaig. Because when he drinks it neat, he only drinks Talisker 18 year. Why is he telling you this? So you can buy him a scotch sour. He has no shame. But know this. Your buying him a scotch won't get you any free points for the night. But it will help him remember your name the following morning.

Originally a native from Los Angeles (Go Dodgers!), Jean-Luc has been living in Tucson close to four years. Love, not a desire to drive down property values, brought him here. And when he's not complaining about the heat, he's complaining about the cold. But he doesn't complain often, except when Ned Colletti makes a horrible trade or a questionable signing. Yes, he enjoys baseball. But he loathes the San Francisco Giants. More than he does gin and tonics.

This is the part of the bio where he lists favorites - favorite films, favorite musical artists, favorite books. After you gloss over the list, somehow you are supposed to know more about him than you did before. Though he doubts that. If you really want to get to know your quizmaster, just approach him. Talk to him. He's the one behind the microphone, mispronouncing words and making awful jokes that fall flat. He doesn't bite. Unless you want him to.

As promised, his favorites (which constantly change)!

Post-quiz, I stepped outside to "shoot the shit" as you youngsters say, and used my Geeks Who Drink supply box as a seat. What, you think I'm going to sit on the ground all willy-nilly? Ha! As soon as my small ass touched the top of the box, I heard a popping sound. I wasn't particularly trying to make my booty go clap, but these things happen. I didn't think anything of it.

Headed out, supply box in tow, hopped into a cab, box swinging low...and then it happened. The box gave way, the bottom hitting the floor and my cords, pencils, and answer sheets spilling all over. A mad scotch infused scramble occurred. Imagine, if you will, a hobo stumbling all over himself to pick up a bunch of cans he planned to redeem for nickels, his livelihood at stake. That was me last night.

After I gathered everything, I looked the box over. My sitting down had caused the hinges to break. Now I need a new box, some more scotch - What's that? It's only 12:46PM? Good thing I have two unopened bottles, then! - and James Bond themes to keep my spirits up. You only live once, Nancy. Unless your name is Ra's al Ghul.
