Well, this was an emotional week for this was my last quiz at Chilkoot Charlie's. It's been awesome being your quizmaster and watching Geeks Who Drink grown over the last many months. This weeks quiz round 4 was an jewish grandmother describing movies, so in honor of my last night I did the entire round with an old jewish grandmother voice. Not the easiest thing to do but it was fun. The first 2 voices weren't well received but the 3rd one hit. I also brought some extra swag to give away thru-out the quiz for what I considered extra geek points. It was a great night yet still a little sadness. I'm really going to miss my quizzers and I hope you guys miss me. Thanks everyone for the best wishes on my future journey, I will miss you all.
As for the quiz standings, our winner tonight was Ye Olde Titty Sprinkles Back To Reclaim Their Rightful 3rd Place Spot. The Death of Daedalus took 2nd. Best Team was Team Fisting Always Wins, (oddly an all girl team). I also named a new AK GWD record the new longest team name Team Please Stop FaceBook Stalking Me… Henry and Matt Because It's Kinda Creepy When You Add All My Female Friends.
It's been an honor being your quizmaster. for the last time
Quizmaster out!

As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster. (Henry Hill reference for one point.) And now I’m officially for the first time a full-fledged, card-carrying Quiz Master every Tuesday night. Mastering quizzes is pretty much the same thing as being a gangster, minus the whole driving-around-in-your-car-late-at-night-on-a-highway-with-a-beaten-man-wrapped-in-bloody-tablecloths-in-the-trunk type of thing.
Although team attendance this week for the inaugural maiden voyage was admittedly small in number, they were mighty in spirit. The game was relocated to the adjoining Ice Bar due to stand up comic Kyle Grooms performing in the main-room. (This is the room closest to the front door that eerily resembles Komrades from “Wayne’s World 2.”)
We found it impossible not to giggle at how saying “Week-old Iron Man 3” always sounds like you’re making fun of Robert Downey Jr.’s age, even though he’s only 48. What can I say? Cocaine is a hell of a drug. (Rick James reference for 2 points.) My heterosexuality was again a subject of fierce debate after the music round. We decided the other “f” in “FLILF” stands for “flick” as it just sounds gentler. We fondly reminisced about U2’s techno period. (Not really, but for the sake of the narrative let’s all just pretend and say that we did.) Most importantly, we all totally forgot about that one episode of “A.L.F.” where Alf develops an addiction to cotton balls so Willie & Katie decide to invite a support group over to the house.
Your Love walked away with a GWD flash drive/bottle opener whilst Datalus got a Koot’s t-shirt & the lion’s share of Bonus Beers with the coveted Not Last Award. Pizza, 3 Shots & Randy took home $15 for 2nd place and the grand prize winner for $25 was In All Ways, Better Than Zach. Congratulations to everyone who won and thanks for coming out. Please tell your friends and we’ll see you next Tuesday at 7:30 in the main room, do or die. Don’t forget to also check out our Facebook page to see who won the Best Name Contest. Those lucky so-and-so’s can redeem their prize by rolling the 20-Sided Prizes Die at next week’s competition.
Now dig this. A little bird tells me there’s gonna be a big coke deal in Fairbanks. One for the Guinness books. So they say. So I said, “Little bird, what does this have to do with a pub quiz in Anchorage?” The little bird apologizes for going off topic and tells me word on the street from a pimp named Silky is that from here on out, the show is going to start on the dot at 7:30 P.M. come hell or high-water, whatever comes first. So I said, “Little bird, what’s this I hear about Resident Thursday Quiz Master Wyatt moving out of state in 2 weeks?” Little bird replies, “Look man. I lay it out for ya’all to play it out.” So I said, “Little bird, what does that mean?” and little bird tells me “don’t worry about it.”

This weeks quiz was very sentimental. One of our awesome quizzer was absent. She had surgery just the day before. She is ok, but we decided to send a little geek love her way. Each team took a "we love Lalenya" pic. The most gallant gesture of the night had to have been Team Daedalus changed their name to Daedalus Loves Lalenya, so they all got a special prize and as luck would have it they also won tonight quiz with an 88 out of 96 possible points. Grandma's Got The Shakes took 2nd place and Wyatt's Awesome New Haircut came in 3rd. Best Team name was a tie between Behold I am Wyatt, Destroyer of Poontang and I Host Trivia To Compensate For My Tiny Penis. Thanks for the great pic's everyone, I'm sure it will brighten Lalenya's day.
