This is always a great time. Bring a team of any size, come up with a politically incorrect team name and play a leisurely but intense game. Host Gary asks a question and gives you the duration of one song to turn in an answer. (Often multi-part with bonuses).
Final question is +/- 16 points, but you don't have to answer.
Team names are sometimes a highlight and the best one (by crowd reaction) gets a few extra points.
Prizes are $40/$20/$10 gift certificates to the Tip. Last place wins Pez.
There's a regular crowd that's been following this around town for at least 15 years. Gary has a standard patois that everyone knows and loves -- like hearing a favorite sitcom character utter all his signature phrases.
Crowd is dedicated. Last night, due to the storm, the Tip's back of house was without power. Meant very limited food, no draft beers and no A/C. STILL 20 teams played to the finish.
I don't have the bandwidth or liver to do this every week, but perhaps a certain week every month we should field a PegNews community team...

I'd definitely down for that, and I'm sure Doyle would be, too.
We're sort of used to the Flying Saucer style of trivia, though, where the team names are not so much politically incorrect as they are incredibly raunchy. Maybe we'll find a balance?

We've been to this one, Pavel - already relatively inebriated when we got there (we checked out Blue Mesa in Addison before going), I rocked your old-man shades as I downed a Guinness b/c I blew an answer, etc.
Feel free to post embarrassing pics.

Ha! That is classic! Don't worry Pavel, it happens to me all the time...
"Hey, I really need to try that!!"
"Um, you already have..."

To stray back on topic, I'm all about a monthly PN team. Definitely could use a change of scenery from Flying Saucer once a month.
Question is will Tipp Inn start having a beer special for this? Saucer has the fire-sale, always Fat Tire on Tuesdays (not the biggest fan of that, but the price is right).
Doyle plays softball on Tuesdays (shaaaaaaddup) so timeliness shan't be mine.

Yeah, I remember that. I recall screaming and making an ass of myself not just there, but also at the Saucer. It made me consider quitting drinking for awhile.
But then I remembered that winners never quit!

Believe me, we have instant messenger - I consider this full disclosure. Probably won't happen again, but just in case...
Really hoping this catches on, Miko. Update us!

OK-- Let's say first Tuesday of the month for starters. That'll be July 1. All PegNews staff and community welcome.

I though this was trivia about the actual movie Bloodsport.

jtmbls, as I was saying in the other thread, above pic is Pavel's classiness. Below is mine.
That's upstairs of Whiskey Bar in Lower Greenville - obviously inebriated. Here's downstairs, what a difference one story makes:
Whoever thought up putting swings in a bar: genius. When Pavel's webernets come back up at his seedy residence, I'll post the previously referenced pic. Thought this one would tide you over until then.
Please be cautious while swooning.

If I bump my head while swooning, you will be hearing from my attorney.

For those breathlessly awaiting another monthly attempt at fame and glory, tomorrow (10/7/08) is a no-go unless someone else wants to captain. I have a business-oriented hob-nobbing dinner that I have to attend.

I kinda wish Barley House would lock down a Tuesday night trivia. Their $2 drafts are a helluva lot easier on the wallet than Tipp's $5+. 1-2 beers is damn near a 6-pack at the sto'...and this ain't Fri or Sat night.
Until trivia's at a more affordable spot, can't say I'm going to lobby hard to keep it going. Least they can do is throw out one drink special for Bloodsport peeps.
