Trivia / Pool

By on May 19, 2010 in Straight Livin

On Monday I went with a few friends over to the Alligator Lounge in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for some trivia. I can’t quite remember all the questions, but I can say that our team “I Can’t I’m Mormon” took second place! Who knew we could be so smart on a Monday night.

Now as for the reason why I can’t remember any questions… in between trivia rounds they had “shot questions,” where instead of writing the answers down, you shouted them out and the first person to do that would get a shot (of the cheapest whiskey). The category that night was “debut albums.” They say the debut album, you should out the artist. I got…

“Cracked Rear View”
“Bleach”
“Faith”

And then we played some pool.

03.15.10 – Spelling Bee

By on February 28, 2010 in Things I Wanna Do

Time to get serious on a Monday night!

Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn hosts SPELLING BEES for adults every other Monday. So I’m thinking… if I’m already going to be out at night, why not try and be educational with it?!

After checking out their blog, it seems like a pretty chill and not so much an OMG-PEOPLE-ARE-SO-GOING-TO-JUDGE-ME kind of event.  Some of the words from last year’s finals were: imprimis, overslaugh, gramineous, avenaceous, moue, materfamilias, coetaneous, dermatoglyphics, quodlibet, moirologist, and schwerpunkt but COME ON those were the FINALS!

Although I was more of a math kid in school, I really want to try my skills at something like this.  Even if I only make it to the “C-O-I” of “coetaneous,” I will be proud to say that I entered a Spelling Bee to once in my lifetime.

So listen up people: let’s do Monday, March 15.  The signup starts at 7:00 PM and the ‘Bee starts at 7:30.  See you there?!

o-n-o-m-a-t-o-p-o-e-i-a….
