snugtop Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 OK, it's a long way off, but I'll be hosting Trivia Night at the BoxCar Alehouse on 10/11...which coincidentally is a Tuesday. The Alehouse has $2 PBR pints, cocktails, a pool table, and yes...trivia. CC.com'ers will have a leg up on the rest as there will be some kind of climbing category. I think there might be a charge ($5?) per team which the winning team gets. I will confirm with the bar on this. Hope to see folks there. Oh, can a mod move this to events? http://boxcarale.home.comcast.net/dc.htm
catbirdseat Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 If the topic is Famous Snaffles, or Recipes that use Horsecock, we'll win for sure.
knotzen Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Hey, is this still on? It's, like, tomorrow. Think I might make my first pub club.
Dave_Schuldt Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I'll be drinking at my parents place in Ft Lauderdale Florida. Hot and humid, can't understand why anyone would want to live down here.
klenke Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I think I can make an appearance (at the Boxcar, not at Dave's family's place). ...Cold and dreary, can't understand why anyone would want to live up here.
Dr_Crash Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Look at that. I was going to the Boxcar for Trivia Night with my friends, trying for a second win in a row. So I guess I'll see you there. What'll be your team, snugtop? drC
snugtop Posted October 10, 2005 Author Posted October 10, 2005 dr C., I'll be the MC--making up the questions, and reading them. Glad to see you are a BoxCar trivia regular. I was there three weeks ago and found the trivia pretty easy (but I was by far the oldest person in the crowd ) So my questions will probably be a bit harder... I did confirm with the bar that it's $5 per team and the winning team takes all. Hope to see y'all tomorrow night (starts at 8)
dkemp Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Cant make this one - got relatives visiting. Next time, eh?
klenke Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Maybe your relatives would find this trivia thing fun. Better than sitting around on couches silently looking at each other saying, with eyes, "yeah, I know you. And I know you too." Instead, you can sing that Olivia Newton John song with them: "Let's get trivial. Trivial. I wanna get trivial. Trivial."
Dr_Crash Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 There is no way you could be the oldest there. Maybe at the trivia table but not at the Boxcar. Some of the bar fixtures there had a long life. See you there. drC
kamatz Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 cannot make this one. I was mobilized to new orleans to provide security and help with the clean up of this mess. Third world down here right now. See you at the next one in November.
Geek_the_Greek Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Hmm. Thinking about making an appearance too. I dig the trivia. Is cc.com actually going to have a team, or just show up for the brews?
klenke Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Answers: yes and yes of course. Team Sub-Basics (as in sub-Basic Mountaineers Class) won. Team Sub-Basics was made up of initially Alpinfox, AlpineK, and klenke. Later, we bolstered our brains by adding knotzen and mattp, and later still with Peggy G. We bad, we bad, we bad! Good fun...though the location inside a nicotine chimney flue wasn't all that great. Thanks for the invite/heads-up, snugtop.
Geek_the_Greek Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Ah well, I got bogged down in work and other stuff. Maybe next time...
knotzen Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Drunken trivia--fun times. Thanks, snugtop! It was good to meet some folk, and bump brains with cc.comers I've met once before. We're a smart, suave, cool bunch, ain't we? U betcha. --"Chris" aka "knotzen" aka "Kris" aka...
snugtop Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Glad folks came out... I agree it was a chimney in there...nasty! As far as the questions, you guys got off easy...I got complaints from a few members of the non-climbing public that the picture round where you had to ID the mountains was way too hard. Even drC was stumbling!
Dr_Crash Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 back at you. At least we got Trango, but yes, what can we do with a team of non-climbers who just don't believe that Adams is Adams? My "complaint" would more be like WTF, I know nothing about this country's past, how can I answer these? We'll be back with a revenge drC
Dr_Crash Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I swear these Martinis had been tampered with. drC
dkemp Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 At 12:30AM Doc C was really stumbling. Uh uh. Ah wuz schleepin'.
knotzen Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 At 12:30AM Doc C was really stumbling. Uh uh. Ah wuz schleepin'. I believe this belongs in the Puns! thread. No pun intended. Or, actually, included.
snugtop Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Dr Smashed, I beg to differ...there were at least three of your countrymen in the answers... Pax, where are the pictuers to prove it?
Dr_Crash Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 LOL. Hey, French-Americans I've never heard of are not countrymen. Now, while I like Dr Smashed as a name and will probably reuse it (thanks), you guys should consider that klenke had been drinking more (thus his unsure steps compromised his perspective and he thought that I had been stumbling), and is looking for an angle to attract the attention of the pretty blonde who was next to me . He mentioned that some day, he'd like to bag more than peaks . drS PS: It was fun, are you going to be regulars?
