Since I had other commitments – the Big Brothers Big Sisters charity trivia game, for example – and Jeremy and Katie were preparing for a major Ultimate Disc tournament on the West Coast – the Street Academy team was not represented last night at Elbo Room. But I did have host General James send me…

That “thunk” you heard was about ten different trivia players fainting to the floor. This is important.  I’m actually going to play trivia Thursday night, but not at Elbo Room.  I’m going to play elsewhere, for a different reason.  And for a different cause.  And for a charitable reason. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of…

Let me start today’s trivia tournament recap by congratulating the Bush team. They won their sixth consecutive round this week, putting them only two wins away from tying Lynch’s Mob for the most consecutive weekly wins at a Trivia Nights Live game. Not only that, but the Bushes were able to hold off a strong…

Last week, the Skidmarks returned to the Elbo Room Tournament, hoping to sneak in on one of the final weeks of action.  They didn’t make it that week, but another team – the Jets – snuck in with a playoff point for a third-place finish. This week, another classic Elbo Room team returned for a…

Do my eyes deceive me? Are they back? Yes they are… back again… it’s the Skids… tell a friend… The trivia team known as the Skidmarks have returned to the Elbo Room for the trivia tournament.  Sure the tournament’s three-quarters of the way done, but they said they were going to win big tonight and…

It’s tough being the king of the mountain. Everybody wants to crown you. And that’s what’s happening right now.

Nothing feels better than beating @chuckthewriter in…

I received an invitation through one of my Facebook friends for a game of competitive team trivia at the Sheehy-Palmer VFW post.  Why not.  I figured it would be a fun game and a good time. Especially when I found out that the host of the event was former PYX 106 morning jock Bob Mason.…

“So I promise to read your blog if you list my Twitter handle in the blog post.” “I’ll read your blog if you announce the superiority of the Gannett news service over the Hearst news service.” “I’ll read your blog if you change the name of our team back from Sighed, Bush! to…” Wow.  You…

Wow, eleven teams tonight for a game of trivia.  Nice.  About freakin’ time. And the four big teams – Street Academy, Woo Hoo a Go Go, Team Fist and Sighed, Bush! were in the house.  As were several other squads – the Haterzz, and some other teams whose names completely escape my memory. Still, it…

I’ve heard a hundred different reasons why The Chance and I won’t ever get together.  I’ve heard the sympathetic reasons.  “You’re too smart, you’ll take all their money.”  I’ve heard the encouraging reasons.  “There’s only so many spots available, you gotta just keep trying until a spot opens.”  I’ve also heard the vicious reasons.  “You…
