Can’t Wait Until Thursday

posted by on May 5 at 16:50 PM

Slog trivia, with celebrity judges and a hefty prize trove, is going to be actual, non-ironic fun, I’m almost certain. Also: fried fish and a very special DJ. Don’t miss it.

I will whip all of you at trivia like Mr Poe's ass at an aarp convention.

Shhhh, no one tell #3 that it's *Slog* trivia.

Have not been to one of these yet and have no plans to ever go.

I would love to finally attend another of these, and prove Wisepunk wrong, wrong, wrong, but I will be watching teenagers performing theatah. Which will be much more mature, I'm sure.

@6 - too bad I'll have to leave before 7:30.

I plan to come after I'm done with other obligations...everyone will probably be drunk and triva'd out by then.

I guess.

But am I the only one who has a hard time imagining 'Slog Trivia?' Do those two words even belong in the same phrase? What aspect of The Slog is trivial?

I am a veritable font of useless information. I can remember the most arcane details of events that happened 30 years ago but forget what I had for dinner last night. Where do you think I came up with the name RainMan?

As a slogger and bartender at MOE I say unto thee --

TIP YOUR BARTENDER!

We know who you are, we notice when you don't, and I have a big mouth.

Have fun.

@7

I tip every beer with a dollar. If anyone says otherwise, they're liars and I hate them.

Quoth the raven, Elsinore.

Who's writing the trivia and what are their bonafides?

Will there be a question about the difference between the River Po and the Poe's Liver? I am curious fellow.

Fnarf, as a card-carrying professional theatrician, I simply want to say -

- NUH-UH! PLLLLLLBBBBBTTTTTTT!

Oh, and who's team am I on again?

Posted by COMTE | May 5, 2008 11:47 PM

Yes, Comte, I am doing exactly that. "Little Shop of Horrors" with a niece in it. I expect it to be excellent. I'm rehearsing my "Brava! Brava!" as I type this.

Wisepunk: Rubber, rubber, glue, glue, your stinkeye bounces off me and sticks to you. Jesus, this IS junior high.

@17 - I usually tip $1 for a $2 drink, provided the service is good, otherwise 50 cents is still pretty nice (25 percent tip, not bad).

Ooh, Little Shop of Horrors ... I'm going to an Iron Man outing that conflicts with (last count) three other events ...

But birthdays for relations come first, of course, so it's "I Am IRON MAN" by Black Sabbath for me ... after a quick SLOG.

Will the trivia include references to Natalie Merchant's significant ... talent?

IF IT'S TRIVIAL, I KNOW IT.

I was capt. of my HS Quiz Bowl Team.

Just sayin'.

I will be on the team of whoever can best lobby me when I get there. Lobbying may include buying me a beer.

I'm resolving not to get so shitfaced this time. The food offerings are appreciated.

Sorry, but coins are no longer proper tippage at a bar. Buck minimum.

@29: Somebody's angling for 5%.

@29

Coins are a direct slap-in-the-face.

Will, you are tasteless. And rude.

@30. Ha ha. Pick cautiously which bar you leave a Roosevelt at for a tip.
