Seattle Pub Trivia '07: The Eye of the Tiger

Yeah, I showed up late and, being the jerk that I am, took the place of Aguecheek’s wife (not sure if she’s a doper or not). I had a great time, and was relieved to see that you people are somewhat normal (and I mean “somewhat” in the nicest way possible). I’m sure the Missus and I will be making future appearances.

As far as the trivia – yowza, you (us?) Seattleites take trivia seriously! I like them hard, though. It’s much more satisfying to think for a minute and have it come to you than to quickly jot down something like, “Dar es Salaam, yeah, boring, I know my capitals.”

To summarize: great job, Interrobang, and thanks everyone for having me.

Mission accomplished!

I don’t know how many more people out there who combine the right level of fame with a surplus of relatively minor movie roles, but David Cross, I salute you.

Also, that geography question is one of my favorites that I’ve ever written. It salvaged an otherwise humdrum geography week (that and the Wedgwood Rock).

How many teams got him?

Three teams correctly answered Cross. Rip Torn and Janeane Garofalo were the other (more) popular choices.

I was mildly surprised to see that you guys missed the Night of the Hunter question, though of course it wasn’t flagged as such ahead of time…

And I must know the psychology behind this: you didn’t write down a guess for the White Stripes video, yet inkysplotchy says you discussed “Fell in Love with a Girl.” Even if you thought it was wrong, why leave it blank?

The answer is: Because Ryan Seacrest made us do it.

Trivia, tonight? Might be the last before my appearances become infrequent (I only came to gaze adoringly at David anyhow…)

I’m in.

I’m in, too.

I’m feeling pretty good about myself today, so it’s time to put a stop to it with a trivia appearance.

I’m in.

Looks like me and the wife will make it. See you there…

Rehearsal tonight and next week. Apologies.

But you don’t need to rehearse for Trivia. It’s in you, or it ain’t, just like good grammar.

So if Saltire comes, don’t forget to register two teams, or else I can go for the swag.

Also - there is a Ben & Jerry’s store just down the street from the OP, in case anyone needs their free ice cream cone this evening. :slight_smile:

Sorry to post so late. I couldn’t get to the computer all day. I’m home sick.

Thus, no trivia for me. Good luck, friends.

I’m no longer convalescing, so I’ll be there tonight. I will be bringing one of my brothers to join in on the trivia-fest.

He’s not the one that some of you have already met.

I’m planning on being there as well. Probably fairly early.

I’ll be whapping people with a sword for a while. Kick some Husker and Laser booty while I’m away.

I’m a maybe – I have a meeting tonight from 7-8:30, but I’m trying to get out of it. Or I might show up late. I’ll try to give a more definite answer later.

I can’t this week. I have to pick up my wife at the airport around 9-ish. Good luck!

I got out of my meeting (yay!) so I’ll be there 7:30ish.

This is sounding more and more attractive… Curse my parents for conceiving me a year too late!
Next year… next year…
