What Be For the Starts Time?

Okay, okay, okay! Everyone keeps asking for this, so here it is. Let me know your thoughts on when YOU (not your friend) would prefer to start The miked Pub Quiz. Enjoy!

August Quiz Wrap-Up!

Greetings quizzy fans! Just wanted to drop a quick note to thank everyone for coming out to The miked Pub Quiz in August! Aside from some great winners, and greater losers (KILBANE & PATTON!) we hopefully had boatloads of fun. Likewise, we saw a record-setting crowd of active quiz enthusiasts! Over 100 people signed up to play the quiz! So thanks to everyone for coming out, enjoying themselves (hopefully) and spreading the mid-summer cheer. And for throwing stuff at me. Which was rude. But most-likely deserved. Anywho...check out the photos, and keep an eye out for next month's Secret Question which will be posted within a week!

Happy July Blow-Up Stuff Day!

Greetings my fanciful quizzers! I just wanted to drop a note to let you know how kick-ass the July 6th pub quiz is going to be. Well....it would appear I've just done that. Oh. Um...I'm kinda' out of stuff to write about now. Except for that whole July 4th fireworks, explosions, hot dogs, burgers, warm potato salad and gallons of Fanta and beer. Yeah. I'll talk about that. So...oh....I just did. Anyways, I hope you all have a stupendous Independence Day and hopefully will avoid taking off a finger or two with those incredibly dangerous bottle rockets and sparklers. Have a cold one for me, and I'll see all y'all on the 6th!

May Quiz Wrap-Up

What an awesome quizzy-quiz gang! Hopefully everyone had a great time! A special shout-out to all our winning teams! From last place Small Wonder to first place Cartwheeling Priests! (I think I got that right! I'm sure you'll let me know otherwise!)

Also, for those of you looking for the dog teasing video, you can see it on YouYube.com here.

And thank you so much for the great photos of the Leper Colony mascot donning some raffle prize swag in the wee-hours of the morning!

April Showers Bring May Showers

Greetings pub quiz Earthlings! Just thought I'd drop a note to see how all of you are doing! I am really enjoying all the viewer mail I've been receiving. Ranging from input on how to de-suck the quiz, to recipes for "miked's I Suck Brownies of doom!" Thank you all so much, and by all means, keep the emails flowing. This month's quiz is going to be extra awesome! That's all I can really say about it. Lots of great facts, plenty of solidly-good swag to give away, and a very special treat for those of you wearing a costume. I'm not sure why, but that sounds like fun to me. So yeah, wear a costume! I'll have special prizes just for you maniacs! Anywho...back to looking at some really REALLY awkward photos one of you sent me. Oh, and I promise I'll get the photos from last month posted just as soon as I can figure out which half-gallon of ice cream the camera is in. And no, I'm not making that up. So yeah, thanks for putting the camera in a half gallon of ice cream mom. REAL nice.

Wrap-Up and Nominations!

Greetings my "special" quiz fans! I just wanted to drop a quick note to wrap-up last month's quiz. As always, check out the photos section for some embarrassing photos of your cousin. Or my cousin. Or my mom and dad. A special shout-out to Kilbane & Patton for their triumphant return to the absolute BOTTOM of the rankings. And thanks for the delicious cake! I'm so insanely proud of everyone for braving the 94" of snow just so they could make fun of me. It warms me.

BIG NEWS: Myself and PJ McIntyres has been nominated for the Best of Metromix Cleveland in the Trivia category. Metromix is a great friend of the quiz and is always providing us with fantastic swag for some of our raffles! Hop on over here to cast your vote (even you, TEAM 11). I think voting is open for a couple weeks. And, of course, I'm not sure how many times you can vote. I think it's once per day. So go bananas! And I seriously have to hand it to all of you for making that possible! How awesome would it be if we won? Yeah, awesome is correct. 2 points. I will say this: if we do happen to win, I will make certain to have something awkward and awesome planned for the quiz following the announcement! See you all next month, and happy voting!

Pub Quiz Still On: Up Yers Mother Nature!

You read that right! Me and Mother Nature are in a bit of a disagreement as to who sucks more. I still contest that it is I. (enjoy that sentence Grammarazis!) But lo and behold, I am determined to perform a fantastic pub quiz this evening! A very SPECIAL treat will be in store for all those who venture into the wintry wonderland that is now the greater Cleveland metropolitan area. And, in case you were wondering what Top Thrill Dragster looked like right now, Cedar Point has a great webcam that can answer that question. Here's what they are showing now:

How exciting! Makes you want to hop out there and beat the crowds! You could be the first in line!. Oh, and if you are feeling REALLY daring, you could climb up to the roof of the Hilton Garden Inn camera and figure out why our snowfall suddenly looks AMAZING! Check it out here! Yeah, who knew that our weather downtown was heavily radiated? I did. That's who. At any rate, my intrepid quizzers, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there tonight!

Snow? In July?

While technically not July, I still find it repulsive. Hopefully all my reader has had a wonderful start to the new year. A very special shout out to Fred & Dianne (a.k.a. The people that created me [according to court papers]) for loaning me a few hundred gallons of firewood. I am enjoying the warm sooty glow as I type! I'm hoping you all have been paying very close attention to the latest and greatest news events of the past month. Especially those centered around the world of technology, politics and Northern Ohio. Let's just say, when it comes to February's miked Pub Quiz, all that information will be completely useless. I've made it a point to exclude all but the most pointless, frustrating and tricky questions for my February quiz. Hopefully everyone (read:me) enjoys it!

At any rate, I do sincerely hope everyone is having a great January. I know I am (the firewood comment above). So strap on your stupid, read all those pointless blogs about nothing that are out there, and get ready for a no-holes-barred miked Pub Quiz in just a few days!

January Quiz Wrap-Up

Happy New Years my favorite captains of industry! Well yet another successful pub quiz is under our belts. This one marked my 80th miked Pub Quiz, which includes public and private events! How exciting! A very special shout out to Dead Birds Don't Fly for taking home the last place (even though they were ultimately 4th-last) prizes. If you are my parents and are reading this, all the lottery tickets were losers, and the candy canes had arsenic in them.

Also, congrats to my idiot brain for making Team 11 and Makin' Bacon do a tie breaker for 4th and 5th place. We had a bunch of ties this months, and I neglected to realize that the tie for 2nd would result in 2nd and third place. Anyywho, congrats to Team 11 for coming in 4th place! And of course, a very special congrats to Doctor Who's on First for taking home first place by 3 points! Nice work gang! Your hard efforts have finally paid off!

Anywho...thank you all so much for coming to the quiz, and I'm looking forward to February 2nd's quiz!
