Housekeeping Slog Happy Recap
posted by May 9 at 11:01 AM
onTeam Youth Pastor Watch (AKA Team Rain Man) and Team Ecce Homo’s Enormous Penis both rocked the trivia game last night, rising well above four other teams to tie for first place after an hour of hard quizzing. In the end, Youth Pastor Watch took the huge bag of prizes via a tie-breaker. Congratulations to the winners (Scary Tyler Moore, Wisepunk, Rain Main, Infrequent, and Enigma). And a sloppy Stranger thank you to everyone who showed up and played and drank and guzzled fried fish nuggets (and especially to Wisepunk for delivering the scrumptious triple coconut cream pie).
I’m sure the commenters will fill you in on all the salacious details that I’m forgetting. Some photos are in our photo pool already.

Stupid, Stupid Crouton was my favorite Stranger column ever, to which I still make regular reference. Yay!
Couldn't make it. Sorryz.
No Charlie Chong reference for us long-time readers? "That's what I'm trying to show you about" is still one of my favorite catchphrases ever.
Damn, I would have ruled....
Next time.....
I wanted that K-Fed clock so bad. Scary Tyler Moore is the key to winning, apparently. If you have trivia again she'll be the most popular Slogger ever.
Apologies to everyone whose eardrums I may have abused.
"who’s name I can’t recall"??
That's "whose".
Our pictures are up in the Stranger Flickr pool.
Next time, EH's EP will dominate completely!
Wish I could have stayed past the first batch of questions.
That pretty brunette on Team Youth Pastor Watch would be me. I've been a little out of the Slog loop as my last job didn't let me have internet at work (SUCKS!!), but I may be making a comeback.
And Slog Happy rules.
@2 If that wasn't you, then who promised to find and share a British man with me?
@5 I know, I was bummed about the clock too.
I take solace in the fact that all of my teammates were super fuckin' cool and if there would've been a prize for most alcohol consumed by a single team, we definitely would have won it.
That was me. Teehee!
Yes, Scary was the force that made our team win, but everyone pitched in and it made for a great night. My fav stranger cover in high gloss, the playboy book, another book, a dvd, NW film forum passes, and a babeland massage oil bar is quite a take for one night.
Next time we should play for a perfomance from Mary Kate's belly dancing group.
@14: Only if Ashley does it too.
Promise us the next Slogvia Night (sic) will include the question, "What is the greatest typo that ever appeared in the Stranger?"
Typo me, G!
Coconut cream pie?!? You were totally holding out on us, Wisepunk! At least STM SHARED her Pepperidge Farm cookie assortment!
Chop Suey's Laffhole?
Not anymore it isn't.
The coconut cream pie went directly to Amy Kate, I did not have any either.
Wow, these comments are boring. Where are the lewd remarks? The titallating tidbits? The salacious slander?
Sorry, PopTart.
We were distracted by the coconut cream pie.
RE: That team name. My lawyers have been contacted.
@20: I said a lot of crazy, lewd shit, but that was mostly later at Charlie's after I'd gotten good and drunk.
Also, Poe, if you're up for it and can find another, I'll film that shit.
Hello Amy, not that it matters, but my name in your post is misspelled. It should be RainMan, not Rain Main. But thanks for a great evening.
And yes, Scary Tyler Moore definitely ruled Slog Trivia. I hope to be on her team again next time.
i haven't this much fun since i used to cyber with horny 18-year-old boys on msn messenger!
i had a lovely, lovely time, and even if we hadn't had slog trivia, i had the thrill of a lifetime when mr. poe grabbed my generous behind.
a million thanks to my teammates, RainMan, Enigma, Wisepunk and Infrequent. next time can we have Dominic Holden on our team? and i will bring cookies again.
