Pub Trivia in Seattle 2006: Electric Boogaloo

I’m sorry I missed it. Our appt took us to dinner, and we didn’t get home until 8:30 pm. Next week?

Anyone coming tonight? Last week we had 19 teams – and no Husker Don’t. This week, I’ve attempted to scale back the difficulty level of my quiz just a tad, and I’ve opted not to repeat the “ID the album cover” round that gave HD their final, insane burst of point scoring.

And I may just break out the PowerBook for scorekeeping.

Sorry to say, I have a last-minute conflict. It’s a good one, though. And as soon as I’m able to provide details, I will. Heh heh.

I can’t make it this week, either – my mental calendar was messed up last week, so I forgot that this is the first Tuesday of the month, and I therefore have a meeting at church.

Next week, though! Can you arrange for Husker Don’t to be gone next week, too? And every week after that?

I’m planning to be there. I hope I’m not alone vs. The InterroQuizBang!?.

Say, Aguecheek, are we going to be seeing you or Aguechica one of these weeks? I, for one, have missed you both. I don’t think I’m the only one.

It was nice to see Saltire there, even though he (perhaps wisely?) opted not to play solo when he saw Hüsker Don’t sitting at a table.

Last night’s questions are online – as is a writeup in the PI blogs.

I’ll kill the suspense: Hüsker Don’t won again.

Oh, man, and I knew every one of these, too!

Hüsker Don’t went 10/10 on the Recipes and J.C. rounds. Another team went 10/10 on the movie round.

  1. My mother-in-law is in town this weekend, which means free babysitting. Anyone want to join me at the Jones in Maple Leaf on Sunday night? Top prize is $25 off your bill, but it’s free to play (if you don’t count food purchases as an entry fee).

  2. The OP isn’t having a quiz on Halloween, so I’m wide open for trying a different pub that week – maybe Monday or Wednesday, to avoid the zombie hordes?

Sorry, I can’t make the Jones. Good luck to whoever does.

So, how did it go last night? Are we on for tomorrow?

We came in third – actually, tied for second, but lost the tiebreaking question. One rookie mistake cost us an outright second place: we didn’t listen to the entire question before writing down an answer, and so wrote “Lost” where we should’ve written “Hurley.” No wonder Jeopardy! makes you listen to the whole thing.

We also had some very tasty food, an experience so unlike the Old Pequliar it was like a mirror universe.

Trivia tonight? I’m planning on it, but only if others will be there.

I’m available if we get a quorum…

I’ll be there! Husker Dont, I’m coming for you with a FOLDING CHAIR!!! Or a 2x4!!! Be very, very afraid!
(Humbling Trivia in T Minus 6 Hours and counting…)

It’s my intention to be there, but I have much wackiness to deal with between now and then. If I show up, it will be at 7:59:59.999.

I’m going to bump early. Anyone else going to trivia? I’m up for it, but I wouldn’t cry a river of tears if we didn’t do it either.

I’m saving my river of tears for marriage.

I was planning to. I’ll post again tomorrow if I change my mind.

I’m out, at least for a week. I closed my finger in a car door, and tore off the last 1/2 inch. I can’t drive and I may have to have more surgery on it. They don’t expect the re-attachment to take, so it will have to be grafted.
Besides, the drugs I’m taking for pain make me incredibly stupit, so I wouldn’t any help.
Have fun… I really wanted to come this week. :frowning:

That is undoubtedly the best excuse to miss Trivia ever. Only slightly less painful than the Husker Dont “Finish Him” Spinal rip
