Drunk bros are the something else. They shamble into the venue having pre-gamed with a 24 pack of Miller Lite. A bropresentative approaches you and asks about the quiz. After carefully explaining how Geeks Who Drink works, the bro tells you how he is "going to wreck this shit!" We shall see. The quiz starts, round one ends, and you read the bonus question. 30 seconds later, bropresentative comes running up to you with the correct answer on the back of his answer sheet. "Duuuuuuuuuuude, I know it! I know the correct answer!" Maybe he knew it. Or maybe he heard you state the answer over the mic. "Congratulations," you tell him, "but you're about a half-minute late, as opposed to your usual half-minute early." The bropresentative looks at you, perplexed. "But I got it right." And you tell him he did, but now he needs to sit down.

Three rounds later and in the middle of the scoring break, you approach bropresentative and his brolegates for a team photo. Bropresentative is swaying back and forth in his seat; the cranial knowledge he clearly possesses as made obvious by the team's last place standing being too much for him. Maybe it’s all the Natty Ice. Bropresentative has a great idea for the team photo. “I’m gonna show you my guns, bro!” And he flexes with all the sincerity a drunk bro can muster. He places his arm on the table, bent at a 45 degree angle. “Get ready for the photo,” you tell him, “and flex.” Bropresentative looks at you and, with a sadness brought about only by the realization of life’s failures, mutters, “I am flexing.” “Oh,” you answer, “with all the talking you were doing, I was expecting Colt 45s, not potato guns.” And the flash goes off.

Later that night, you see bropresentative attempt to hit on an attractive gal and try to start a fight with a guy in pink shorts. Then, suddenly, bropresentative and his brolegation are gone. Were they kicked out? Did they leave to another bar with all their aspirations and hopes dragging behind? Will they be getting DUIs later, leading to a shameful call to already disappointed parents? You shrug. Doesn’t matter. You have a quiz to run. Quizmaster, motherfucker.

Julio takes his music so seriously that he is actualy Down with the Sickness. His throat is hurting so dozens will have to go unsatisfied by him until next week.  Rest assured, he will be swallowing loads and loads... of lemon tea with honey to soothe his magic pipes.  So make sure that you come early next week, you will definitely leave satisfied.

So here's a little touch of what we faced:

Manboobs everywhere.  How did King of Queens last so long.  Kevin James is to Comedy as Papa Johns is to Pizza (to clarify, Papa Johns is the Nickelback of pizza).  Captain Planet let us take a look at his ipod.  Turns out he has somewhat decent taste in music.  Heart, Rare Earth and Marvin Gaye may actually earn him a pass for being such a lame "Superhero." Online news is the way to go, because unlike regular newspapers, you can’t put anything on the internet that isn’t true.  I read that on the internet.   That said, studies have found that giving Caribbean Joe money will help you live longer and have a trimmer, sexier core.  We found out that not every country on Earth uses states.  It turns out France can only come up with vague regions, but you can ride in a limousine in Limousin and that is kind of funny.  Wow, did you know you can get bland, homogenized chain food right in your own home?  Yeah, so did I, I just don’t.  Don’t worry though, Demolition Man predicts that Taco Bell won the restaurant wars, so you can have Taco Bell all the time!  War and peace go hand in hand.  Peace without war doesn’t let you appreciate that peace. It also doesn't let you appreciate the people that worked so hard to make it.  So remember that there are people that sacrifice so you can  watch Madea movies.  Cmon, we can do better than that with our hard won freedom.  Then again, Hollywood takes a sort of true story and makes it completely unbelievable.  Texas Chainsaw Massacre?  Everybody knows a chainsaw doesn’t make that clean of a cut on a human body.  People wiggle around too much for that.  Try again Hollywood.  To close out the night we found that when using the Janka Scale, everybody wants to claim they are Brazilian Ebony when they are really more of a Pecan.  Even Tigerwood doesn’t get that hard.

Winners all around, but these teams were the winningest.  A Wobbly Jelly of Indecision jumped to first to take the $30 Trident gift certificate.  In a close 2nd, we had M is for Menace. They claimed the $20 Trident gift certificate.  3rd went to Ramsey's Pretty White Bitches for the $10 Trident gift certificate.  The email bonus prize went to Nicole and she is now the proud owner of evil rubber duckie tape. 

Thanks for a fun night.  Julio will be back to entertain you next week with his oral skills once his throat heals.  until then, stay awesome.

Last night, the majority of us learned that 1993 "Beavis & Butt-head" was blamed for the burning death of a two year-old girl. I never heard about this. Curious, I ran to my local library this morning and scoured the reading room for an article on the matter. After searching for three hours, I found it, dated 10/10/1993 from the New York Times. "CARTOON ON MTV BLAMED FOR FIRE" read the headline.

So what the hell happened, exactly?

Apparently, a five year-old boy started playing with matches after watching an episode of "Beavis & Butthead," set his mobile home ablaze, and, well, you know how the story ends. Another bit of random knowledge for your noggin'.

So is there a reason for relating this story to you? Yes. Matches are deadly, folks. Drop one accidentally and you can set a trailer park on fire. Which is why I advocate using matches specifically for lighting cigarettes. Cigarettes take longer to kill you. Matches can strike at any time. Cigarettes can make you look cool between ages 17 to 20. Matches can strike at any time. Cigarettes can cause your nipples to fall off. Can matches do that? Nope. So light a cigarette.
