Quiz Schedule
Thursdays 8:30 at The Ram
Evan Query (Ozzimo)

I was born a poor black child... hold on... nope thinking of someone else. I was born in Suburbia. Like, smack dab. My hometown of Puyallup is famous for 3 things.

1.  1. Before Prohibition it was the hops capital of the world. (Thanks a lot Puritans!! Grrrr) But this just goes to show that when they say there's something in the water around here, they're talking about beer.

2.  2. The guy who played the Dad on "A Christmas Story" graduated from Puyallup High School and is, as far as I know, the most famous person to grow up here.

3.  3. It is the current home of your humble Quizmaster, Evan Q.

Anyway, here's the quick and dirty. I'm class of 01 from Puyallup High School; I left high school thinking I wanted to teach Choir as that was basically the extent of my knowledge. When I got to college I found out how little these people make and how hard they had to train to do it. I immediately changed my major to Political Science and have never looked back. This is one of the main reasons not to argue with me when you think I’m wrong. I'm trained to win a fight, even if the other person is 6 kinds of right.

I started quizzing when a coworker of mine turned me on to the quiz and mentioned GWD was looking for a Tacoma quizmaster. I went through the pre-req community college course, the ritual hazing, the bleeding/burning of saint if I ever left the family, and the chopping off of my ring finger on my right hand. I'm told this is all legit and there was no need to look it up to check.

You can find me at the Ram on Thursdays at 8:30. I highly suggest ordering the Turkey Havarti with Sweet potato fries and a '71 ale while you're there.

Many came for the basketball, yet many stayed for the quizzing. We had one massive team of PLU folk that split and did quite well for their first time out. Among the other teams are 3rd place "Gassy Brown Stars" who described the name very poorly to me. Something about farting I swear. They also came away with 64 points. In 2nd was "12oz Subcommittee P's" with 70 points. And for the 5th week in a row our Geek Bowl contenders, "Avery has Balls on the Brain" broke 80 with 86 huge points. 

So, what did we learn tonight?  Don't mess with the guy who runs Pinkberry. Long live Click and Clack. Deep Blue Sea, now that was a good movie. Better shut up during the Star Spangled Banner. a curse on those who confuse Jim and John Belushi. When playing Canadian artists there are some you are forced to include. Sean Bean dies a lot.  See you all next week!
