Birthday Smackdown Week – Revenge of the Triviologists

Today is my birthday, and so Triviology is about to go Freaky Friday style! First of all, Birthday Smackdown Week begins this Sunday. At all of my venues this week, each team will ask me one question at the end of each quiz, and earn one point if you stump me. The point of this is just pure fun – I’ll get to play a little trivia, and hopefully you’ll find it interesting to step in my shoes, if only for one question. At each quiz, I will present a list of topics for you to choose your material from.

Also, tonight at 7:30 at Peter’s 19th Hole, my friends, at my behest, are going to host a trivia night for me – you are welcome to come play along. Mind you, this is not an official Triviology quiz, so the Whammy round will be all about moi, and there will be no prizes – just fun, glory, and Irish Car Bombs! If you’d like to come and shower me with presents and adulation, but can’t do it on such short notice, here’s how to plan ahead – buy tickets now to the annual Barfly Trivia Bus, and buy me belated drinks up in there instead! In addition to a night of drunken mayhem, your team could win $100, cash money! Mind you, the maximum team size on this trivial adventure is four . . . but maybe this is the perfect opportunity to cut some dead weight from your team. We ride on Saturday, October 10th.

During last night’s quizzery, Kyle and I handed out dozens of passes to a sneak preview of “Extract,” the new Mike Judge film (starring Teen Wolf II). As if that isn’t awesome enough, check this shit out – when you get to the theater, politely cut to the front of the line, and Rob, who provided me with said passes, will let you in to a cordoned-off section for Triviology players – velvet rope, baby! I even have a few passes (and some Slurpee coupons!) left over, so the champions at East Burn will also receive free passage to the Monday night screening.
