Anyone up for Quizzo?
My local bar, The White Owl, hosts an event at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays called Quizzo. You answer questions in rounds that range from sports, pop culture, to politics. Anything really.
Want to feel stupid?
All you have to do is look over at the drunken bastards at the table next to you that won.
My table came in 4th, and I even left early so my mom could go home. Thank you mom! Way to go husband and Trenty!
Anyways, we were NOT the losers. Most of the tables had around six people on them too. If I could only talk Jess into going one time we would WIN!
Have I ever mentioned that if you have the chance you should always pick Jess as a partner if it is a trivia game. Jess and I kick ass at Cranium. We were the reigning champs for 3 years at my New Years Eve party. She would also be one of my “phone a friend” if I ever went on Millionaire.
I also need to get Loralee to go to Quizzo with me, and possibly Karen. Then I would have music and literature covered. Plus my friend Soffe to get all that US history crap covered too.
My fantasy Quizzo team would consist of:
Me: Because I like beer, art, and cleaning supplies. I like to read too!
My husband: Because he likes beer too, and he is the smartest guy I know. Except that coffee is spelled with 2 “e’s”.
Trent: He also likes beer, and computer games. Plus he just needs to get out, and he has already played.
Jess: Knows a lot about sports, pop culture, NASCAR (not a sport), star trash, how to spell, politics, television… you get the clue.
Al: Knows all vegetarian related stuff, politics, rocks, water, and the environment. Plus she runs, bikes, and hikes.
Loralee: Knows… music, who was in movies, theater, and food.
Karen: She is a librarian… HELLO?
Soffe: Duh, History and stuff. Plus he really likes sports.
Loralee’s husband: Electrical and technical computer stuff.
Michelle: She has traveled a lot. I should mention that a lot… is a lot. Maybe she would know where all the countries are located.
Nat: Snowboarding, computers, and how to brew beer. Plus your shirt was PINK the other night!
Nan: All that hairstyling stuff, and you are FUN!
Kyle and Camille: Just to get you to Utah for a visit.
T: Because we could make $2 off of selling Al at the bar.
The list goes on. I know I am forgetting some of my friends that would possibly go with me to the bar to play, if not to drink. Why would YOU want to be on my fantasy Quizzo team?
Please comment so I know.
Stumble it!
Jonathan could also intimidate everyone by sending off his “I’m always right” vibe…
Count me in.
How about this X-mas, We are going to try to come out for x-mas this year….sound good
I would totally be on your team if I didnt live so far away. I am a vat of worthless knowledge and I love beer. Enough said.
i’d love to play…but it’s on a bad night…what would i do with my kids?
we’d soooo win if i was there.
how is THAT for humility??
I’m there! Not that I would help you win…AT ALL…but I could entertain and distract the crowd
I’m sure there’s not enough hair questions that come up in Quizo to make me a valuable asset to the team, however Dave is FULL of useless information. Between him and Jess..you’re sure to WIN! Thanks for thinking of me Bridg- XOXOXOXO ~Nan
I have Middle East history and politics skills. I once had memorized all of the names of the Abbasid Caliphs for a graduate level Arab history class.
BTW Muhammad’s wife’s name was Khadijah and she was wealthy and a few years older than the young visionary when they married.
I don’t think anyone on your team could match the useless and arcane information I collected at the U of U Middle East Center. I did good once in a trivial pursuit game because I knew who T.E. Lawrence was…Lawrence of Arabia.
Well if you need information on picture books or the first 3 letters of an authors last name (curse dewey!) then I’m your woman.
I could be your Southern Redneck *cough* I mean gentleman expert..
Riddle me this Bridgy… were there many vegetarian related questions?
You know what would ROCK the EFFIN HOUSE? If I could hit a local bar and play with your team, remotely! They should totally do that.
Suggest it to the Owl, yo.
Do you win prizes or just get to talk smack to the surrounding tables?
Not to be immodest, but I also do quite well at trivia. In fact, I’m going to lay it down; I could beat Jess and Bridge at Trivial Pursuit. Even if you were on the same team. There, I said it.
My area of strength is history. I know sports, too. So if you ever NEED someone, I’ll show up.
I like beer, too.
Loralee… I am counting you and Jon in. LOL.
Kyle and Camille… Xmas it is!
Amy… If you are ever in the area.
Jess… Craig just challenged us!
Nan… I am also counting you and Dave in. HEHE.
WP… you are definately in.
Karen… I am making you come! I might need a driver too. /wink
Aaron.. Since your from another country… your in!
Al… Cell phones are banned during the round, so it would be a no.
Craig… want to drive up to Logan some Wednesday night? I challenge you and your wife. HEHE. Um, nevermind, I want you on MY team. /smile
we def want craig and mackenzie ON our team. we don’t need them in the opposite corner.
plus, craig likes beer. that’s good enough for me.
and al…you win prizes…free lunch. no free beers cuz that’s illegal in the beehive state.
I don’t have to drive to Logan. I live here!
yeah, craig lives in CV, bridge. SLC isn’t the only town with cool people in it in Utah.
OMG!!!
Can I say I am excited??? I had no idea you lived in CV. That just made my day!
