I Don't Understand the Question and I Won't Respond

Gene

OMFG, I'm so excited about the new episodes of Arrested Development that I'm afraid I just blue myself. I've been getting AD team names at both of my Quizzes for a few weeks now and it's only making things worse. Please, no calls on Sunday, I'll be busy.

R1 tonight was an easy peasy Mystery Round that turned out to be about WWE Wrestlers. Personally, I cannot think about professional wrestling without getting nostalgic for the good old days of Paul Boesch's pro wrestling shows in Houston at the Sam Houston Coliseum. Hacksaw Jim Duggin, The Great Kibuki, Kamala, Gorgeous Gino Hernandez…these were wrestlers. We'd stay glued to the television for the re-broadcasts on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and, it was there that I learned the really important things in life like: I.W. Marks Jewelers can make anyone's ear look pretty; Blue Star Ointment stops itching fast from ringworms, tether, psoriasis and jock itch; and Mattress Mac really can Save You Money. This is also where I learned that if you need your roof repaired, plumbing work or, perhaps, open heart surgery, one should Yamma Mr. Norman. Those were the days my friend. Congrats to Sandusky & The Lottery: Scoring Big with Little Balls, Brainstorm Chasers, There's No I in Temocil, Good Thing the IRS Had All That Public Goodwill so They Could Weather this Storm, and More Like Justin Boo-ber for kicking off tonight with a perfect score.

R2 was our first audio round. Titled Bad English, this was a round of Brits who have been arrested at some point. Now, really, hasn't EVERYONE been arrested at some point? That's not THAT big of a deal, but some of these are like hallmark pop culture statements. Clearly Amy Winehouse had to have been arrested at some point and everyone remembers George Micheal's trip to the restroom. What you may not remember, however, is how Gary Glitter, one of the most successful British Pop Stars of all time, got arrested and jailed a few times in different countries. First it was numerous DUI's in the UK, then Possession of Child Pornography. Later, he was arrested and convicted in Vietnam committing obscene acts with a child. It was roughly about this time in history that Gary Glitter became a social and artistic pariah in the rest of the world and also when the US started playing that fucking song at every sporting event in the country. Really, NO ONE plays Gary Glitter any more…except us. Fantastic. Perhaps you guys are on board with the Gary Glitter boycott since NO ONE new the name of Rock & Roll Part 2. NO ONE, including Brainstorm Chasers who posted an, otherwise, perfect score here.

R3 was a Sooner or Later round called Five Ways to Die. Lots of people went for the double points here recognizing methods of death ranging from getting hung from a ceiling fan to death by pointy sex toy. Seriously, the scene in Se7en when the guy is explaining to Brad Pitt what he'd done is one of the most horrifying things I've ever scene. I think it's WORSE that you don't see the murder but only the unwilling killer's guilt and horror at what he'd been forced to do. It has always stuck with me as a truly great piece of film. On the other end of the spectrum, however, here is another one of my fav movies and, perhaps, one of the greatest moments in film history. Congrats to Sandusky & The Lottery: Scoring Big with Little Balls for a perfect score here.

R4, BRB, was a round on famous journeys. No, Marco Polo did not introduce Italians to pasta, they're fucking Italians, they've been eating that stuff since Italy was invented. Gilligan's fateful trip was promoted as a three-hour tour (a three-hour tour). When you've got some extra time, hang out with us after Quiz and allow me to regale you with my Gilligan's Island fantasy casting game OR lecture on my thesis which asserts that Gilligan's Island is actually a parable on the Seven Deadly Sins (a concept which has now caught hold in pop culture). There's No I in Temocil lead the round with 7 points.

R5 was on Vintage Spank Material and went pretty well. Lots of people switched Jean Shrimpton and Jerry Hall, resulting in most of the teams getting 6 points but Sandusky & The Lottery: Scoring Big with Little Balls, and ThunderCunts Unite really knew their models and bagged perfect scores. Randy's Boobs would have as well except that they listed Twiggy twice; hedging their bet or too drunk to function? We may never know.

R6 was a round on emerging economies called She's a BRIC House. If you were previously unaware that Brazil, Russia, India and China are collectively referred to as BRIC, you may have have been fucked from the get-go on this one. It's certainly doubtful that you'd have known that 10 jiao make a yuan or that Bollywood has been making films for 100 years. Most people knew the easy ones though so it wasn't a total bust. Congrats to Brainstorm Chasers and Good Thing the IRS Had All That Public Goodwill so They Could Weather this Storm for exporting perfect scores here.

R7, It Came From the 90's, was a round on TV theme songs. Seriously, I have never fucking heard of a few of these and have never seen any of them. That could be, however, due to the fact that I stopped watching all television sometime in the 90's and have never really picked up the habit again. The one show that I DID know, however, was My So-Called Life. Apparently, I was the only one in the room who'd heard of it though. Shame on you. Congrats to Brainstorm Chasers, There's No I in Temocil and Oklahoma: Not only Sucks, It Blows for their so-called victory here with 7 points each.

Add in the Random Knowledge of R8 and you've got a GAME!

It was a very tight game all night and went right down to the wire with Sandusky & The Lottery: Scoring Big with Little Balls managing to grab a win tonight by two points over the Brainstorm Chasers. There's No I in Temocil used an excellent performance in Random Knowledge to jump up to third and snatch the bronze from the waiting hands of ThunderCunts Unite who, I'm sure, will vow revenge.

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight. I PROMISE, I'll get new equipment before next week and we'll be able to start on time. Promise.

WE WILL QUIZ on Memorial Day, I hope to see you all there. In the meantime, don't forget to study up for the upcoming Game of Thrones Quiz on June 8th.

Let's Talk About Kim

Gene

Kim was tired tonight. Really tired. You know that special kind of tired when you think staying home is a better idea that going to Pub Quiz? She's THAT kind of tired. I know how she feels, I mean, I arrived at a packed venue to find out that my electrical outlet doesn't work anymore and that the power cord for my mixer is fried and that I'll need to acquire new stuff before the game can begin and that, on top of all that, I'm training a new guy tonight. But, you know what Kim? I still showed up and rocked that motherfucker. Pull on your big girl panties and get out here with your friends next week.

R1 tonight was an easy one called SFC: Short Film Credits. I give you an actor's name and three initials of a film and you give me the film title. Easy peasy! EVERYONE rocked Jeremy Irons in The Lion King and not a lot of times could come up with Olympus Has Fallen for Gerard Butler (I assumed it stood for Oh Hell, Fuckme, maybe I was distracted.) In any case, scores were really good here with the majority of teams grabbing 6+ points. Congrats to Dickwidget and Code 99 for kicking it off with perfect scores.

R2 was an audio round called This Doesn't Sound Like Mariah Carey and, btw, thank god for that fact. All of these songs share a title with one by Mariah Carey, I don't know how that's handy or why you'd want to know Mariah Carey songs but there you go. Scores were pretty good here with most teams in double digits but Dickwidget led the round with 15 big points.

R3 was a simple 'Which Came First' round, this one on Junk Food. Things were hit or miss here although EVERY SINGLE TEAM knew that Lay's came before Pringles. As one quizzer explained to me: "It's about technology; it's much easier to make a simple fried potato chip than it is to make a double curved plane out of extruded, reconstituted potato flotsam, so Lay's HAD to come first." Point taken. Dickwidget and Kim's Really Tired led the round here with 7 points each.

R4 was a whole round on the Panama Canal, fantastic. Also, it was brought to you by Quizmaster Nick, the newest recruit in the Geek army. He's a cool guy and has a pretty good beard, so I think we'll keep him. Scores were more mixed here that previous rounds with people's knowledge of Panama being a little spotty. FYI, there is a difference between a hyphen and a dash which you may have noticed since Microsoft word wants you to use one instead of the other and countries like Brazil, Argentina, Portugal and Narnia are NO WHERE NEAR Panama. Look at a map sometime, you might surprised at where some things are located. Kim's Really Tired and Not Gonna Lie: The Girl in the GWD Logo Gives me a Boner both nailed this round with perfect scores.

R5 was a creepy visual round on Child Stars Who Showed Us Their Junk. You didn't even have to know their names, just which ones have gone Full Frontal for our viewing pleasure. From Molly Ringwald to Jennifer Connelly, we covered all the bases…although, suspiciously, all the correct answers were chicks. Where's the peen? Totes unfair. No one aced this one but Sandusky and the IRS: Illicit Probers Unite, The AP-yeah, we'd tap that, Can you Quack Like a Duck and No Means Yes, Yes Means Anal all grabbed 7 points.

R6 gave Nick his first chance to swear on a mic with a round called Abracafuckingdabra which was about all things magical. We learned here that David Copperfield has appeared to walk though the Great Wall of China and, also, that one team thought that walking through the Eiffel Tower would have been a notable achievement. Have you guys ever SEEN the Eiffel Tower? I suspect not. Also, kudos to all the nerds in the room that knew the Pentagon of Colors from Magic the Gathering. Sorry, however, about all that sex you're not having. We Used to Have a Problem with Kissing Ass but We Finally Licked it led the round here with 7 points having missed the question on the Knickerbocker Hotel which everyone else missed as well.

R7, Hollywood to Arlen, was about celebrity cameos in King of the Hill. WHO can resist dancing to Chris Rock's rap in this round? No one, that's who. Props to everyone scoring with my ex-girlfriend, Sarah Michelle Gellar…well, you know what I mean. Carl Reiner and Ben Still seemed to be stumbling blocks for most with 5 being our highest score shared by We Used to Have a Problem with Kissing Ass but We Finally Licked it, Code 69, and Dickwidget.

Add in the Random Knowledge of R8 and some last minute Jokers and we've got a game!

Last-minute rallies by Kim's Really Tired and We Used to Have a Problem with Kissing Ass but We Finally Licked It jumped them into the medal standings at 3rd and 2nd respectively but Dickwidget was the team to beat tonight and held onto the lead from the very beginning. Lawrence won himself a Geeks Who Drink pint glass for the email bonus question and I'm Single and He's Gay grabbed the TBall award and some awkward firting for their last-place finish.

Hope to see you all next week, maybe Kim will even drag her ass out for it. Also, don't forget about the upcoming Game of Thrones Quiz you know you wanna go, so just do it.

Gene

Last night's game as VERY educational in many ways. I had never before considered a pizza box as something one could 'wear', but now I know better.

R1 was a current events around I like to all Recently in Stuff. It was pretty easy and scores were really good. The only real stumbling block (unless you live under a rock) was picking the correct Virginia Colony that, evidence now shows, ate at least one teenage girl. Well, I ask you, WHO HASN'T? We all had our 'curious' phase, right? Congrats to I Only Dirty Sanchez on Cinco de Mayo, Where are My 50 Cent Wings?, NRA and Sandusky: Old White Men Shooting Their Loads, and Gratz Orb, You Bought Another Week From the Glue Factory for kicking it off tonight with perfect scores and minimal cannibalism.

R2, our first audio round of the night. brought us the Second Greatest Show on Earth (me, being the Greatest). All the answers had something to do with the Circus. From Natalie Merchant to Glass Tiger, we covered all the bases and you guys did pretty well. None so much so as Amanda Bynes is My Lifecoach who wrangled a perfect score in this round.

R3, Doesn't Anybody Over There Carry a Gun?, was about parts of specific model of a Swiss Army Knife. What the fuck kind of pocket knife has a hook, a saw and an awl but no fucking nail file? Sure, I can add a hole to my belt but this jagged ass nail is going to be here forever. Great. Appropriately, NRA and Sandusky: Old White Men Shooting Their Loads won this round about small tools.

R4 was a round about annoying young people called Get Off My Lawn. At this point, can Beiber look like MORE of a douche? No, I think not. And, note to America, STOP WATCHING HONEY BOO BOO! It's the only way it's ever going to get canceled. Props to NRA and Sandusky: Old White Men Shooting Their Loads, Where are My 50 Cent Wings?, The Gal-amos and Amanda Bynes is My Lifecoach for their perfect scores here.

R5 was a round on Venn Diagrams that represented song lyrics. Yikes. Perhaps I overshot a little on this one as scores were fairly terrible. I've been hosting quizzes for nearly two and a half years now and I've NEVER had more than one team get a zero in a round, much less three teams. oops. On the other side of the coin, Slicing #2 is a Hot Mess picked up 7 big points in this one.

R6, West is Best, brought us all things western. From the gentle Zephyr to the Czechs in West, TX to Cornel West in the Matrix, I think we covered all points of interest. NRA and Sandusky: Old White Men Shooting Their Loads and US:FAIL:ViSUAL ROUND both bagged perfect scores here.

R7, which might be the best round I've ever done, was simply called Porn for the Blind. I played you a clip of a guy objectively describing a porn scene and then asked you questions about what he'd told us. Holy fuck this was brilliant and you guys did REALLY well. Congrats to Where are My 50 Cent Wings?, I Only Dirty Sanchez on Cinco de Mayo, Slicing #2 is a Hot Mess!, The Gal-amos, Gratz Orb, You Bought Another Week From the Glue Factory, Amanda Bynes is My Lifecoach and Pretty Sure We Forgot to Joker Last Week for coming to fruition with a perfect score.

Add in the Random Knowledge of R8 and we've got a GAME!

A big score in R5 helped keep Slicing #2 is a Hot Mess! on top of the boards tonight with Venn Diaphragm coming in a close second with Amanda Bynes is My Lifecoach just behind them in third. McKenzie won tonight's email bonus question and bagged herself a Roller Derby air freshener. Hot. She is one of the many who get the secret email bonus question by having signed up for our mailing list. If you haven't yet, please, join now; members see it ALL!
