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](http://www.facebook.com/#/group.php?gid=23599745198) 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**. ---

**January 12, 2010** 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. ---

**Cervaise** is going to be there, with baked goods. ---

**January 19** 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. ---

**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. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-pub-trivia-2010-the-return-of-the-smurf/523774.md?page=2)
