Dear Friends of the Pub Quiz,
Greetings on a Wednesday afternoon. Do people ever say “Greetings” anymore? Perhaps only geeks say that, quoting comic books and robots in science fiction stories. Someone may correct me, saying that a dork might say that, but that a geek would say something completely different. We have a regular participant in the Pub Quiz – her name is Olivia – who sometimes attends the Quiz dressed fashionably, such that no one would call her a geek. But she also reads comic books, acts in internet-only science fiction dramas, and purchases Geek a Week Cards. Perhaps none who would first meet Olivia would call her a geek, but all who know her well would be quick to do so. Even though she can be found in a bar (sometimes singing) on Monday evenings, none would greet her with that old televised favorite from 1999-2002: Whassup? Some fads blissfully fade from our memories, unless we are forced to recall them at a Pub Quiz.
What’s up with the Pub Quiz tonight is that we will feature questions about ubiquitous video games, golf, Will Ferrell, the Sacramento Kings, musical spices, horses, funky music (if you had to sing a single funky music song, what would it be?), Ukrainian companies, famous assassins, the brain, alternative rock bands, Chernobyl, stand-up comedians, the record industry, pensiveness, Tyler Perry, Camping, the Old Testament, rap music, productivity, lyric poetry, monsters, bears, birds, elephants, guns, basketball, princes, judges, and Shakespeare.
I look forward to seeing you this evening for the Pub Quiz!
