Last week, in a post-quiz euphoric state i thought it was a good idea to sing David Bowie karaoke... i was wrong. Dead wrong.
Fortunately for me tonight i didn't have the same impulse and thus was saved from the devastating experience of preceding and/or following actual opera singers. That's right, after wrapping their week-long run of The Barber of Seville we had members of the Utah Opera taking karaoke out back and showing it who's boss. Who's the boss? They are. Opera singers. Can sing. Better than quizmasters.
Anywho, my own personal inadequacies aside, i do believe we had a quiz tonight. And from what i recall it was a wonderful time. Dong Dungeon II, Under Dong Skies reigned supreme for the first 7/8ths of the quiz, but in a last ditch effort, Nutbush pulled a bunch of nuts out of their bush to leap, dare i say like a flying squirrel, into first place! Leaving Dong Dungeon II to live up to their name, by which i mean they placed second (get it? II?).
Dick Bangdana had another good run but sadly placed third. The first losers as some motivational t-shirts would have you believe. I would say they are the third winners, That sort of thinking allows me to sleep at night.
Well, Dr. Nick's Australian voyage wraps up soon and we have but one more quiz with each other. Let's celebrate by forgetting opera singers exist and karaoking the shit out of ourselves next week!
I love you all! I'm off to watch Game of Thrones! Speaking of which, check out the site for details on the upcoming themed quiz. And sign up for the e-mail!

P.S. I'll see you hipster bundles of sticks at the Belle & Sebastian concert!

Good evening, Piper Down-ites!
This is QM Chairman, still covering for the vacationing Doctor Nick. I hope he's swinging some clubs down there in Austrailia, since that's what good doctors do on vacation. Let's face it: chances are, since he's in Austrailia, he's probably running for dear life from some sort of frog that can kill you by belching the national anthem (which is Thunderstruck by AC/DC). I want to send him a text to make sure he's okay, but am unsure if I should send it tomorrow or yesterday.
Lets go over some HIGHLIGHTS:
- When I say 'Murica, you say 'Fuck yeah.' One of the finest moments in my quizzing career, Piper. This is just a small part of why you are an amazing group of people.
- Sergi Prokofiev would be so sad. You must have all torched your Peter & the Wolf records at Anne's burning party.
- Reddit is a scary place. Sure, it's where pretty user interface goes to die, but there's also a ton of intersting content. Plus, Gentleman Boners. I needn't say more.
- Taco Bell's slogan was never so honest as to have us "Make a shit for the border." Good guess, though.
- No wonder he licensed all those songs, Moby's soul is apparently worth a mere $41. This may be because Vegans are not real people. Science may never know.
- I don't think anyone in last night's crowd has played Operation. I saw 'appendix' way too much.
Holy shit, what a quiz! After eight rounds we had another tie, this time for 1st place between ODB's Hologram & Brangelina's Discarded Tits. Then you smarty-pantsers went on to tie in sudden death, forcing me to get all 'The Price is Right' on you. I never thought I'd say this, but congratulations to Brangelina's Discarded Tits! They had the closest answer to our Carnegie Hall tiebreaker question.
I love you all, sweet Piper Down, and I can't wait to see you again next Wednesday.
Big hugs & sloppy kisses,
-QM Chairman!

Another hot night here at Piper Down. With Nick gone, once again things got away from us, but only insomuch as my abuse of the karaoke queue is concerned.
Full discloure, we had a tight as f*** (fuck) quiz tonight. What was the point spread, sidekick? Oh wait, I don't have a sidekick, but we did have a round on sidekicks which is an excellent segue to my next point which is to say that we don't really have much to say in terms of performance tonight because y'all were so close. The only outliers were our top two teams Dong Dungeon and Meat Jerking Beef Boys. You guys killed it throughout and you should be proud.
Dear lord, it's mother's day and I would be remiss as a mammal if I didn't give a shout out to those that delivered us unto the world. Thanks!
After the quiz tonight we had a hi-octane karaoke sesh wherein I may or may not have overstepped my bounds as a singer and member of the human race, What can I say except that my vocal range fails to live up to my hubris.

P.S. See you next week you lovely sons of bitches.
