Trivia Rankings: 19 October 2022

It was a chilly fall evening but that didn’t stop the assembled Quizlings from competing for top honors (or at the very least not last place). Thanks to everyone who showed up to play our brand of triviawesomeness at Tomato Jake’s! Join us next week and stick around for Newbvember next month, won’t you?

This week, we delivered some classic movie quotes, some classic Greek literature and some classic rock queens. Plus there was this Pixar memory…

Now check out the scores for the week. That last round kicked a lot of butts! Don’t fret, Quizlings. We’ll do it again next Wednesday. See you in sebben!

Trivia Rankings: 23 June 2021

“Who’s ready to have a good time tonight?!” It’s been fifteen months since I asked a crowd of enthusiastic Quizlings that question but Wednesday night at Tomato Jake’s it seemed right, it seemed appropriate. So I asked. You answered. Everyone was ready.

Thanks to all the Quizlings who came out to play. Could we have asked for a lovelier summer evening to play trivia. Sure, we could have asked but why bother – it was perfect! We had joy, we had fun, we had ice cream in the sun. (Apologies to Terry Jacks)

There was also some small talk about Pixar films, Monopoly tokens and MLB palaces of yore. Plus what the F, NYSE?! And then there was this Reagan Era boob tube flashback…

January 30 Trivia Rankings

The temperature outside was cold but the trivia inside was hot. Or maybe it was the pizza that was hot. The quizmaster … ? Nope, definitely not. Well, weather analogies aside, I think we felt a little better about this week’s scores than last week. Pixar and Marvel helped (BTW both owned by Disney – soon to own your soul).

What’s what up this time out? We got a B with Jacko, floated some rocks and paid more for a stamp. Plus there was this distant Gen X childhood memory that would have been so much sweeter with Deadpool…

Daddy May Care

My son saw Toy Story for the first time when he was 8 and couldn’t sleep because he thought his toys would come alive at night and kill him. Of course, he finally fell asleep after about an hour and later that night I sneaked into his room and rearranged his stuffed toys and Transformers. As a result, he wouldn’t sleep in his room for about three weeks and he eventually gathered all his toys in a sack and tossed them onto a fire. It cost me about $200 to replace the toys and a few thousand for the ensuing therapy but one day a long time from now – when he’s in high school and throws a Project X party or he’s at college and does something stupid and needs me to bail him out of jail – I’m gonna let him know exactly what I did and laugh like a bloody maniac.
