Week 1 2009 Season 1

Start time: 9:59 p.m.
End Time: 12:50 'ish (a.m.)
Core Attendance: Cindy, Trivia Kari, Travis, Craig, Steve-Know.

Alright, this is my first posting of our trivia blog. There's a new sheriff in town (at least for one week). If you are easily offended, might I offer an appetizer www.maddox.xmission.com

Now that you are probably aghast, and know how to spot a pedophile from 20 paces, I will begin my story of tonight's trivia.

Round 1
Didn't go so great for team Travis, the actual score is lost to history, however we knew that distance under the sea is measured in fathoms, and that alone proves our awesomeness.

Also, Trivia Steve, A.K.A. Steve-Know (A.K.A. me), thought that a coelacanth was the same as a sea horse, it turns out I was wrong. Drew and Grill can pat themselves on the back....for now.

Round 2
Alleluia, Craig and Travis are here! We did ok, but we didn't win the music round. The mandatory drug testing policy I requested for trivia teams obviously didn't fly. Alcohol is the only safe drug.







Steve Know-2005- A texas mickey of rye and 4 friends.








Round 3
Okay so virtually everyone got 9 points. Whoopdeefuckindoo (sp?). Broad Street Brawlers won with 9.5 (see my mandatory drug testing policy mentioned above). They also hit Cindy in the head with ice (probably thrown at me for implying Grill started his engineering degree in 1982).

Also, there was a question like: "If you were ordering a Black Velvet in a bar, what type of drink would you be ordering". The answer given by our enginerring lords (who have yet to submit their urine tests I might add) was "some type of champagne". Oops.

Drew and Grill, I expect your pee in a cup on Monday. Here's my address:

Coalition for Gun Control
Toronto
P.O Box 90062, 1488 Queen St. W.
Toronto, ON M6K 3K3
Fax: (416) 604-0209

Craig T. Nelson and Steve-Know who are drunks, but pass the piss test, knew what the answer was (apparently Newfies use the casing as piggie banks).

But I digest.....

Round 4 The Music Theme Round!!!!

We were certain that we had nailed this round, then our engineering overlords gave away the answer to #10.

We were certain that #1 was from Bambi, where they are on the ice . It turns out that the song was from Fantasia oops, I thought that said fantasy.
Trivia-Cindy and Kari were pretty stellar in this round, but some other teams must have taken performance enhancing drugs to beat us.

Round 5 Tie

We tied some team who will remain unnamed because they are probably insignificant. (also, I have no idea what their name was). Craig battled them in a best of three rock paper scissors contest.

The end result had five ties in a row in it, which should only happen 1 in 243 games. In the end Craig decided that we had had enough to drink and played paper even though he knew that their representative was going to play scissors.

Craig was wrong. You can never have enough to drink (see above). However, he did let some team enjoy success, and perhaps this will spread the joy of trivia around the U of R.

Round 6

Finally our brilliance shone through. Travis scored a typical 10 points claiming the round. Heralds heralded and I probably said something, I bet Craig did too. Travis (the person) answered a lot of questions.

Some additional comments:

Craig caught shit tonight from the microphone. He should use his size (and possible superpowers) to destroy those who would make fun of Newfoundland. That or at least smother someone to death with the orange toque.

Speaking of our toques, the Bi-Polar Bears got their own uniforms! They cleverly chose baby blue shirts, baby blue being a gang colour in Regina. I may have dropped a note to my friend (who's a cop) that there has been an increase in gang activity around the university on Wednesday nights.

Anyways the final scores for the night, and for the season thus far are:

1st place 2 Tall Broads and Push Her Down the Stairs (tie) (who needs performance enhancing drugs when you can cheat with your cell phone?) 45 points.

2nd place WES (The Marijuana?) (Sorry I'm trying to read Cindy's writing) 44 points.

3rd place Travis 43.5

4th Bi-Polar Bears (gang) 42.5

5th Broad Street Brawlers 41

And as a final note, I propose that we keep track of points that we deserved this semester but were denied:

Denied: 1 (black-velvet)

Alright Douche-fags the question involving black velvet is as follows:

"If you were a bartender and I asked for a Black Velvet, what would you put in it?"

When I say what would you put in it what could be the "It" I am referring to? If you think I was referring to a glass then clearly you need to take an IQ test to go with that piss test. I was asking what went in the drink. Since typically bar drinks with fancy ass names are not one ingredient, this clearly implies that there are multiple ingredients used to make said beverage. The same way that roofies imply that you shall be raped if you ingest one. So kiss my ass you Newfie bastard, and go drink your shitty Rye blend.

Oh by the way, the answer is stout beer and champagne.

If you were a bartender and I asked for a Glenlivet, what would you put in it?

If you were a bartender and I asked for a Glenfiddich, what would you put in it?

If you were a bartender and I asked for a Bowmore, what would you put in it?

If you were a bartender and I asked for a Lagavulin, what would you put in it?

If you were a bartender and I asked for a Glengarioch, what would you put in it?

If you were a bartender and I asked for a Glenmorangie, what would you put in it?

If you were a bartender and I asked for a Talisker, what would you put in it?

If you were a bartender and I asked for a (insert your own favorite scotch here), what would you put in it?

You are off base Grill, get your shit together!

Trivia Kari said...

Steve, that was some wicked recappin'. I nominate you for Head Recapper.
Grill, I can see your point; however, you can probably admit that the phrasing, spelling, or verb tenses of a typical trivia question are not always necessarily reliable... that being said, I'm grateful that you have introduced us all to the idea of mixing stout and champagne. it sounds similar to one of our favourites - the crown float. Deee lishis.
