Seattle Pub Trivia 2013: One Quiz Leads to Another

The Game Room
241

I was just coming to express my regrets that I can’t be there, but it looks like the quiz will be smurf-free.

On the plus side, I just thought up a new name we can use sometime: Smurfy’s Law.

Nov 26

Jason and Cristin host tonight. Requested round topic is Assassinations. Kapow!

Hint for the audio round: The climactic scene from the first episode of Freaks & Geeks, where a bunch of kids dance to Styx’s “Come Sail Away.” (Such a good show!)

I’ll be there, but maybe close to 8. Cervaise will be there.

You? Are you gonna be there?

243

Yup.

244

I’m a maybe - it depends on how late my dentist appointment goes, and on how much of my Thanksgiving prep I can get done between then and 8.

245

Second audio hint is “Earth Angel” dance from Back to the Future, so I assume the round is on songs from fictional dances or just songs popular at school dances.

246

I’m not available. Good luck, team.

247

I’m in!

248

Dec. 3, 2013

The Rampaging Fuckers host! Requested round: Seattle Celebrities.

First (and only?) audio hint: “867-5309/Jenny” by Tommy Tutone. Could be one-hit wonders! Could be number songs! Could be songs with punctuation in the title! Could be bands with a name that sound like one person!

I’m in, likely about 7:30. You?

249

I’m out again. Best of luck.

250

Cervaise is in.

251

I’m probably in

252

I’m out.

253

I’m out.

254

December 10

Jason and Pete host tonight! Requested round topics: the Northeastern US, and Cultural Appropriation.

Audio round hints: “Dayglo,” by Love Battery; and “I Will Always Love You,” by Whitney Houston.

I requested the Cultural Appropriation round, so I’m honor-bound to be there. It will be glorious. Who’s with me?

255

I’m out again. In fact, I’ll be out until after the new year begins. See you in January.

256

I’m planning to be there.

257

I’ll be there.

258

December 17

It’s the last Old Pequliar quiz of 2013! (Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve trump it the next two weeks.)

Jason and Cristin are hosting. The requested round is on third-wave ska, which they promise won’t be hard. Since it’s Jason & Cristin, I think they’ve got some credibility there.

Audio round hint is Katy Perry’s “Roar.” Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhhh.

Cervaise is in. I’m in. I nominate as a team name “I Saw Mommy Smurfing Santa Claus,” but I’m open to funnier holiday riffs.

You?

259

I’m in.

260

I’m probably out - I have a ton of work to do. We’ll see if I can get my stuff done in time to come play!
