From Day One of ShanRock’s Triviology, “The Token Sports Question” has been a staple feature of my quizzery. But now the day has finally come for sports fans to rule the roost – tonight’s (Saturday, August 1st) lunar quiz is all about Junior Varsity Sports Trivia for Benchwarmers! I will be your host, but Brad of JV Sports Trivia Night (held fortnightly at The Tanker) is the author of the questions. The quiz will feature many of his signature rounds: This Week in Sports (athletic current events), The Mendoza Line (general sports), The Ocho (unusual sports), Off the Court (personal lives of athletes), The Presidential Challenge (competitive eating – I promise it’s nothing gross . . . we decided against mayonnaise), and a “Token Academic Round” . . . Revenge of the Nerds (the lowest scoring team chooses the theme)! We also have JV Sports Trivia to thank for those movie passes to Funny People & 500 Days of Summer which I gave out last week – thanks for sharing, guys!
This Tuesday, Trivia Jock Scott will be your host at Sewickly’s, as I will be making the trivia at a fundraiser for the Democratic Party of Oregon, who will be throwing a Birthday Bash for Obama! This free event runs from 6 – 11, and includes DJs, a rapper, a raffle to win sweet prizes, and a chance financially contribute just by drinking beer. I will host a Triviology quiz from about 7:30 – 9; $5 donation per person to play; prizes for the champs. Come join the fun at Backspace!

*My new friends at Last Call Trivia took the night! You have my permission to go check out their quizzery (I don’t mind if you stray, as long as you always come home to me!). I failed to get a picture of the champs, however I did capture the lovely ladies of Bea Arthur’s Dick In A Box sharing a beverage.
