Tuesday continued our run of gorgeous weather AND super competitive games of Pour House Pub Trivia!

I don’t want to jinx it, but that was TWO gorgeous days in a row! 

I hope you got to enjoy the sunshine a little bit before you headed inside for some hot and heavy Pour House pub trivia action!

We took you around the world with tonight’s round of trivia:

• To Boston, to brush up on your river knowledge – The Charles, in case you missed it
•  On down to Florida for the Daytona 500!
• From there, we got international – to France for the Bic company
• It was a quick trip down south for the face of a million T-Shirts, Che Guevara and his South American jaunt
• Then we hopped BACK across the pond to find out about the premier of “Whose Line is it, Anyway?” the Beatles asked us to “Drive [Their] Car” and we found the birthplace of Steve McQueen – one of them, anyway!
• Finally, after all that, we ended our evening in Cuba! Anyone want a cigar?

I don’t know if you’re exhausted, but that round-the-world trip took a lot out of me. Let’s hand it over to our hosts to see how the games went!

Champion Billiards – Frederick, MD

I’m impressed so many of you came in out of the beautiful day to play some trivia with me! As always, was a fun night and I am so thankful we didn’t have to show up in parkas and multi-layered sweaters tonight!

It was a interesting game, where Wham Bam Here We Am were contenders tonight! They hung in there in third all night, fighting off all comers! Second went to Thundercats who will come out swinging next week, and first went to the steady Jungle Fever clan.

Next week they want us to start out with the Simpsons so get your tv time in 😉 Enjoy the weather!

Cugini’s Restaurant – Poolesville, MD

Thanks again to all the fine folks at Cugini’s for coming out on this beautiful Tuesday night for some PHT!

 

The Murphs are back in form and pulled out a repeat first place finish! MoMo was hot on their heels and took second, and after a tie-breaker, Belligerent Midgets finished in third.

 

Join me again next week at Cugini’s, where our first category will be “State Capitals“

Hollywood Casino – Perryville, MD

Tough questions at Hollywood tonight but some new comers to the leader board!

 

Team Freedom maintained their hold on first place with 152, new to the leader board Army of One came in second place with 126, and If We only had a brain in 3rd at 123.

 

Next week we start off with Video Game Consoles! Get to gaming!

Jekyll & Hyde Tavern – Frederick, MD

We had a excellent evening at Jekyll & Hyde tonight, and it was a fight for first all the way to the end.

 

Taking third place with some class went to Brownie Points! Great game! Second went to the Wesley Crushers and first place went to the Know Nothings!

 

Great game everyone! Next week’s first category, conveniently in the days after the newest season premiere, is Game of Thrones! So even though Spring just got here, remember – Winter is coming.

 

See you next week!

Monkey La La – Frederick, MD 

Monkey La La, the only place where a $3.50 Beryllium shot just could happen!

 

 

3 Ways I Know I Just Got Old

 

1. A Pub Trivia Team of early 20 somethings consider a Mariah Carey question “Classic Rock!”

2. When I replied to that 20 something team, “Well Kiss my Grits!” they stared at me blankly!

3. That I Will go to bed swearing to myself that Mariah Carey is NOT classic rock!

 

Our first nice spring trivia night! Wow! I was actually a bit confused with no snow or ice or freezing rain to accompany our game this evening. I was able to drive home with no scraping of my windows! Beautiful! Hopefully many more of these days to come 🙂

 

And tonight’s trivia game at Monkey La La makes two nights this week in which the scoreboard really did not matter until the final question, as pretty much every team had sat in the number one spot at least for a moment at some point. It was an incredibly dynamic second half, with teams bobbing in and out of the Top Three. Guantanamo Bay, Cuba sealed the deal though for this Top Three tonight:

 

1st Place: Master Debaters

2nd Place: Stink Floyd

3rd Place: 3rd Quarter Nosedive

 

GG everyone! Fun night…See you next Tuesday night for some more La La trivia…we will kick off with one of my all time fav’s – “Breaking Bad.” 

 

See you then 🙂 dg

 

Ramparts Tavern – Alexandria, VA

A great game tonight from I Pity the Fool in the Rain, as they ran a wire-to-wire game and took down their second win of the season!  Stamp Collectors took second with Fat, Drunk, and Stupid snagging third place on the tiebreaker.  With more than 15 teams, we were also able to dole out some extra standings points for We’re Not Porn Stars anymore and Rocket Surgeons.  On a side note, from now on, I promise to only write question about human actors.  In the immortal words of Governor Rick Perry: “oops”.  Can you believe it’s only two months until the World Series!  It’s going to a great finish to Season IX.  We’ll start next week with a question on New Mexico.  See you then!  ~ Matt
