I have nothing of real interest to report to you, since for the last few weeks I've been so busy in training that I've barely had time to recuperate during my weekends for the next Monday. Mondays suck. The only thing really that makes my Mondays worthwhile is Pub Quiz.
What is Pub Quiz? Why, I'm glad you asked!
Pub Quiz is little more than a fancy name for Trivia Night. We have a big group that goes every Monday at Ireland's Four Courts. Basically, you get to form your own teams of up to 5 people, and we all get together for drinks/dinner ahead of time. This pub is the best we've found because they have $6.95 burgers and half price appetizers until 8 pm. (the burger special goes all night). You have to come up with a catchy name for your team, usually to do with a weekly "Current Events" theme. There are seven rounds of the trivia game. One round is always a picture round, where you try to figure out who/what is in the picture (ie celebrities, athletes, countries, flags, etc). There are always 3 general knowledge rounds (the last round is worth double points) and the rest of the rounds have various themes. In total, there are 80 points possible, plus bonus questions (10 pts per round, last round double points).
If you win the prize rounds or the team name challenge, you can win gift certificates for the pub... we've won the name challenge a few times, but it seems like we never have a well rounded enough team for winning by our answers. If you were to put together a dream team for pub quiz, here are the type of people you should have:- Sports Trivia-Know-It-All
- Movie Buff
- Music Buff
- One 90's generation (Gen-Y or Millennial) teammate (to answer picture round questions)
- Useless Information Know-It-All
Go check it out sometime! The Quiz starts at 7:30 pm every Monday night :)
More coming soon.
