Seattle Pub Trivia 2010: The Return of the Smurf

New year, new thread, as per usual.

In case anyone new wants to join in, a group of us get together most Tuesday nights at The Old Pequliar in Ballard for pub trivia. Here’s the Facebook page, for more info.

Anyway - who’s in tonight? I’m planning to be there. Interrobang!? is hosting, and promises a “2009 in review” round.

I’ll be there. Funny, I lived through 2009 just recently, but I can’t remember a thing about it. Oh, well, maybe it’ll come to me after the first pint.

I can’t smurf it tonight, unfortunately.

Round? 2009 is the whole quiz. Which means it’s 1/10th as difficult as last week’s '00s in review quiz.

Proposal:

For the coming month, we name ourselves a smurfified version of the host’s team. Examples:

Smurfyong
Laser Smurfing Arms
Smurf Holt!
Ted Smurfing Experience

That or I’ve got a list of Smurf-related name candidates going already. We’re ready to rock and roll.

I’ll be there. Who’s with me?

Reminder: The requested round topic from last week is Math. So please someone good with numbers show up.

I used to be quite the math guy, but that part of my cortex has largely atrophied. Hopefully, some useful information remains.

I’ll be there.

I’m planning to be there. Haven’t heard from Cervaise yet.

I plan to be there.

Cervaise is going to be there, with baked goods.

Who’s in tonight? Kevin’s hosting. The special requested round topic is “grammar, logic, and rhetoric,” but I’ll be there anyway.

And I have a team name idea, best shared in person.

I’ll be there. That special round topic sounds…trivial.

I’m hoping to be there, but it depends on this headache going away in time for me to finish a big work project.

Cervaise says he’ll be there, too.

I shall attend this evening’s competition.

inkysplotchy is also planning on being there, though it may be a halfway-through-the-quiz kind of deal.

January 26

I’m in. Who else? Special round topic tonight: Star Trek: The Next Generation, which means someone trekkier than I am had better be there.

Proposed team names:

Who’s the blue private dick who’s a sex machine to all the chicks? SMURF!

Bring it on: In it to smurf it

I’m in. I love ST:TNG, which of course means I won’t know a single answer in the round.

I’ll be there. I’m something of a trekker, though I haven’t watched any TNG in a good long while.

At some point, I think we need to be “The Day the Smurf Stood Still.”

Oooh, I like that one. And on a SF-themed night that may win the Kewpie doll.
