Jive Tofurkey!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I hope you’re all having a lovely day, doing whatever it is you need to do to enjoy the holiday – dinner with the family, watching Freaks & Geeks in preparation for the Dec. 6th lunar quiz, escaping the family to hang out at your neighborhood bar, or . . . (like me!) wearing pajamas all day long while watching movies with friends, eating pizza, and drinking bourbon & gingers! So, guess what? No quizzery tonight! Here is the complete list of my venues which are trivia-free this week (11/24 – 11/27): WorkShop Pub, La Merde, Kenton Club, The Slammer. I am indeed thankful to have a day off, but I am WAY more thankful that I have a career that allows me to do all kinds of things that I love, with all kinds of smart, fun, interesting people – my sincerest thanks to you ALL!

I will now appeal to your competitive spirits to enlist your help collecting grub for the annual Shaver Elementary School food drive. Do it for the children! Or, do it for yourself . . . as we are going to make this food drive “interesting” by pitting team versus team, and venue versus venue. Bring any non-perishable food items next week (11/28 – 12/3) to any of these venues: East Burn, Ella St. Social Club, Sewickly’s, The Hutch, La Merde. We will award a trophy not only to the venue that has collected the most food at the end of the week, but also to each team that brings the most food items to each quiz. Help us punch hunger in the throat! And if you’re still feeling generous on into December, you can contribute to The Raphael House (women’s clothing), Adopt-A-Family (money or toys), Doernbecher Toy Drive, all at The Slammer (this hard-working generosity is just one reason that the proprietory, Lizzy, is Portland’s Best BadAss BarKeep).


And now, here are some fun pictures from recent events . . .

Some bad-asses rockin’ it three-style at East Burn at a “The Next Three Days” promo night:



Tough-as-nails West Coast Chopper bottle openers, won by Linda Is A Whore at Sewickly’s:



Exhausted but happy champions after a hard-won victory at Hutch on Holgate . . . JonDick guided the Publick Edjamakaters & Victory or Feline AIDS through four bonus rounds (!!!) of questions through a grueling tie-breaker (you’re my hero, Dick!):


And finally, a warm and fuzzy Thanksgiving gift basket from Da’ Hui. Champions Friends of Dean Martinez discovered that oven mitts make cozy impromptu gloves on chilly nights!:
