Brilliant! Sure wish the Little Red Book had a section on contemporary playwrights. Or geography, for that matter. ---

It’s awfully quiet. Is it only going to be me and my life-sized cutout of Ryan Seacrest tonight? I have it on good authority that the QM is low on sleep and will imbibe whiskey. Hilarity will ensue. ---

I’m out this week – I hate having to miss the hilarity, but I have my stupid church council meeting tonight. After this, though, only 2 more meetings before I’m done! See you all next week… (choose “knitting” for me if we come in 4th!) ---

I’m torn between my need for extra sleep and my love of [del]sweet delicious beer[/del] trivia, but will probably be there. ---

Wow, it’s always nice when new people show up…oh wait, you’re that couple that raises guinea pigs, aren’t you? I’ll be there, just in time to sit around with a blank expression during the geography round. If I’m not going to make it, I’ll call me brudda, and he’ll tell you I’m not going to be there. ---

I’m hosting the quiz tonight, so I can at the very least direct you to the table populated by the usual gang of SDMB misfits. Just let me know you’re looking – though by then it could be 7:45 or so. And the quiz starts at 8:00 and usually ends sometime between 10:00 and 10:15. It is indeed at the Old Pequilar. People usually show up early-ish to get a table – 7, I think? I wouldn’t swear to that, because my seat is guaranteed. Hope we see you there! ---

Newbies are more than welcome. We were all newbies once (except for **Cervaise** ). It is indeed the OP in Ballard, starts at 8:00, we usually have someone there around 7:00. I don’t know what time we’ll get there, but I’m wearing a short sleeve plaid shirt with a long white shirt underneath. Glasses. Goatee. Short brown hair. And I’m incredibly, fantastically good looking. Hell, we’re all good looking (except for **Cervaise** ). My wife’s got red dyed hair with a bleached streak through it. How’s that? ---

My wife and I will be there between 7 and 8. I’ll look for you. I’m wearing a black shirt, kinda of a turtleneck (except it’s not a sweater). I… don’t remember what my wife is wearing. It was early when I dropped her off. I’ll look for you and ask the host if I can’t find you. See you tonight! ---

Sorry I didn’t get to meet you – hope you had a good time. Everyone: Given that you guys didn’t win, what’d you think of the quiz? (I think you guys should get to know the Fuckin’ As – they’ve got some of the pop culture knowledge that tends to be your Achilles’ heel.) ---

[QUOTE=Interrobang!?] Given that you guys didn’t win, what’d you think of the quiz? [/QUOTE] I liked it. It was just the right amount of hard and the questions were extremely interesting. There were a couple of times when we all looked at each other and said, “…Ooo, good question.” I think the best example was the “what was larger” question in the Geography round: the Sahara, Australia, the Amazon drainage basin, or the Roman Empire at its peak. Good debate on that one; we wound up guessing wrong but any of the four would have been plausible. The movie round drove me frickin’ _nuts_, though. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-pub-trivia-07-the-eye-of-the-tiger/386439.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-pub-trivia-07-the-eye-of-the-tiger/386439.md?page=8)
