The usual random thoughts and gibberish

Major Tom

As most of you know, I just got back from 2 incredible weeks in Hawaii. I got on the plane in 80 degree weather with an ocean breeze, and 7 hours later, I got off the plane into 110 degrees of Arizona blast furnace summer. Pretty much everything sucks about being back, with one notable exception. I really missed you guys and the Quiz. Of course, I did the special Disney Quiz almost immediately after getting back in town, then the Auld Dubliner the next night, and then back to the Crown last night, so it’s been a pretty intense homecoming. I might need another vacation.

Once again, I’d like to apologize for the Led Zeppelin/Britney Spears mashup. John Bonham is rolling over in his grave. Whoever made that mashup should be as well.

The email bonus question about the Mutter Museum got me thinking I need to get to Philadelphia one of these days. I can see Grover Cleveland’s tumor? Count me in!

Did anyone else get a giant craving for ice cream when we did Round 7? Mmmmm...Ben & Jerry’s. Too bad I’m trying to get back in shape. No celebrity is going to sell me a pint of that delicious poison for a while. I wonder, though, if the Crown sold a lot of ice cream right after that round.

Wawa Skittle Boobies has by far the most entertaining answer sheets.

The team I referred to as “An Open Letter To Peter Jackson” was disappointed that I didn’t read their full, 3-part name last night. There were a bunch of kids in the house, so I promised I would put it in the blog instead. Of course, that didn’t stop Round 7 from featuring Alec Baldwin yelling “f*ck” a couple times. So here is the full open letter: Part 1 – Dear Peter Jackson, go back to f*cking sheep, because you suck at making movies. Part 2 - Dear Peter Jackson, if directing talent is indicative of penis size, you have hobbit c*ck. Part 3 – Dear Peter Jackson, did you sell your soul to Smaug to make this piece of crap? Eat sh*t and die! Well, there you go.

So, what did we learn last night?

- It’s good to see that no one remembers the Parent’s Music Resource Center (PMRC). Growing up as a metal fan, Tipper Gore and her cronies were our most hated enemies.

- “Blame Canada” was not the last song from Canada to top the Billboard Hot 100.

- Rod Stewart sounds remarkably like RuPaul.

- Nova Scotia is not a country.

- When billiards is shown on TV, they like to confuse the players and the audience by making the 4 ball black just like the 8 ball.

- Dire Straits is not a person, although maybe since corporations are people, they are a person.

- Oxygen is not a noble gas. In fact it’s about the least noble gas there is.

- Jonathan Taylor is not the lead singer for Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy Osbourne is the lead singer for Ozzy Osbourne. Also, Ozzy Osbourne is not “new metal”. The man is 66 years old. Also, Jonathan Taylor is not the lead singer for Korn. You should all go complain at the Errogenous Zone.

OK, that’s it for now. Until we meet again, you know what to do. Go hang out over at www.geekswhodrink.com and www.facebook.com/pages/Geeks-Who-Drink-Pub-Quiz-At-Canyons-Crown/483388135009881 and come back to the Crown next Thursday. See you then. Mahalo!

We've got more balls than a bingo hall

Caribbean Joe

We sure had a ball last night, two of them actually. Was my fly open? There were a lot of testicle themed teams in the house. Well, you all are nuts, so I guess it is to be expected. Just take a look at these testicle themed teams; Balls To The Narwhal, Nomen Non Habemus, The Grapes Of Wrath Of Khan, Mulvas & Manzierres, Balls Deep In Intellect, Lance Armstrong's Other Testicle, The PENis Mighter, The Show, Team Rocks and of course Mouth Wide Open. Since there is such a testicle frenzy going on, perhaps we can convince the Crown to have a Rocky mountain Oyster night. Yeah yeah, don’t act all squeamish. You’ve all put worse things in your mouths. I can see it now, “Come have a ball at The Canyon’s Crown Restaurant and Pub.” There could be the standard beef testes as well as lamb and maybe even rooster. There could even be an eating competition and maybe even a costume contest. You could win shirts, truck nuts or even stress balls. I’ve got to make some calls here.

As for the quiz, we started with state capitals. Phoenix was and easy one. Everyone loves Harry Potter, but St. Paul from the Bible was one of the slowest answered bonus questions I’ve had in a while. That kind of makes me happy. Next we had to name the band named after a member. No, not that kind of member. Surprisingly people still like Hanson and I got into a discussion as to who would win in a fight, Nelson or Winger. (I say Winger.) We went Michael Jackson looking for Black or White, but unlike Michel it couldn’t be both. As a result of this round, I was reminded that for some reason people have taken to remixing Mom’s Spaghetti in to everything. Then we had Zip it! Frnaks and Beans in the zipper is a very scary thing. So guys, don’t rush the zip. I was also greatly surprised that Iomega zip disks still exist, but then I remember people still cling to fax machines. Two wheels good, four wheels bad is something I take to heart as a two wheel rider. The only way to ride is to assume that everyone is trying to kill you. If you’ve ever ridden a bike of the motor type, you know what I mean. Generals and Shermans had a Rocky and Bullwinkle question. Such good memories, but damn, I’m old. I was reminded even more so when The Clueless movie bonus question got a comment of “I’m not old enough to know that one.” I would blame the parents, but that really isn’t one of the classics you would be showing them I guess. Next we learned that Liam Neeson is funny by not being funny. Then again if you don’t laugh, he will find you and he will kill you. In the final I checked and there is no mythological woman named Cornucopia. Nice try. As far as Who made the Daewoo K1 rifle, Korea alone is not a good enough answer. If you don’t think there is a difference between Korea and South Korea, ask a North Korean.

In the end after channeling their inner utensil, SPOON! I put my evil inside of you! won not only the top spot in the house, but they defeated the Bums at Bumsted’s to take the cross bar challenge for the week. The won a $25 Canyon’s Crown gift certificate and snatched up an extra $25 gift certificate to Bumsted’s as well. 2^nd place went to Balls to the Narwhal. They claimed the $10 Canyon’s Crown gift certificate for their efforts. The email bonus came in the form of coconut monkey mints which I heard were quite tasty.

Thanks again for having me. I had fun and Tom will be back next week. I may even come join you so we can abuse him as a group! Stay awesome and quiz on. Also take note that Canyon’s Crown is doing some great charity stuff, so check out their site here for more info. There’s a golf tourney and an upcoming Disney edition of Geeks Who Drink for charity. Be there.

Well hello everyone. It had been a little while since I had hosted for you all. It was definitely nice to be back. While my throat was being a little rough, I was pleased to have made it all the way through the night with you all.

Did you know that there is a legend in Hawaii about little people that are said to inhabit the hidden valleys and deep forests of the islands. When I lived there I heard the stories. They were shy, secretive people that made crafts and tools and lived happy simple lives away from people. Some of the locals were given a special task. They were charged with preparing a great annual feast for the Menehune. There was Kalua pig, poi, rice, bananas and fruits of all kinds. The locals rarely got to see the Menehune, but it was a special gift if you did. At this annual feast, the Menehune would gather to sing, dance, eat and find a mate. This was done sometime in early June when the goddess Pele called to all her children so that she may shower blessings on them. So anyone with Menehune ancestry is drawn to the Islands to the feast. Take from that what you will.

Quiz last night had some fun stuff:

Fee Fi Fo Fum. I found out that it is possible to get the Finland song stuck in someone’s head from a single line.
You can fly. It turns out that Paper Planes by M.I.A. has a “good” part.
I don’t remember eating corn. What does Ricardo Montalban have to do with corn? Nothing, but ask some country folk to say corn and you’ll hear the connection.
Recently in Stuff, so recent that the TV cut to a scene from the last round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Can I yell at a TV for giving away answers? No, but you can yell at Ke$ha for being a weirdo. She’ll probably like it though.
Band Logos made the scene. Everyone did pretty good, but a few were with me in thinking, “Radiohead has a logo?”
The answer is always fish. You’re underwear smell like what? Sadly no one came up with Lew Zealand. He wore his flounce with style.
M or F? Does it matter as long as it sounds good?
For those that didn’t know what Buzzfeed is, I looked and you can skip it. Also I was very happy to see how man y of you got An American President. I’m happy that movie was not forgotten.

Wawa Skittleboobies were the victors of the night. They took the $25 Canyons Crown gift certificate for the win. They did not win the cross bar challenge though. I expect someone will next week. 2^nd place was tied up between Blind Squirrels and Anustart. We planned a dance off. So Anustart sent up their only player on crutches. I called shenanigans, but Blind Squirrels lacked confidence in their dance abilities and bowed out. I let it go this time, but next time you deprive me of my sweet humiliating entertainment, I’m going to give the next team down the list the option to dance for your prize. So sayeth the Joe. Congrats to Andrew for the email prize win. He will enjoy labs with abs.

I’ll see you next week as Tom will still be in Hawaii reconnecting with his Menehune brothers and perhaps even finding a bride. Only time will tell.

See you next week for more quizzing goodness.
