The disappointing thing about most online trivia quizes is that nothing stops participants from using their magical Googling powers to conjur the answers.  If you remember this site from 2 or 3 years ago, you might recall the old quiz league that featured Google-proof questions.  I’ve decided to revive [...]2March 25, 2009

Thanks to Frank Simpson and company for letting me sit in last night at Southeast.  I’ve played a couple of times with ‘OJ’ before, and he always puts together a good team, so I was glad to see a chair open at his table.  In the end, we were tied with the always formidable Team [...]1March 22, 2009

The only game in Springfield this weekend is at Southeast High School on Saturday night*.  They always have a well-run event with good categories and big crowds – especially for a school event without alcohol sales.  The questions are usually fairly challenging but fair.

I got to sit in with some of the folks from my first ‘regular’ team last Friday night at St. Joseph’s Church in Chatham for a fundraiser for the Sangamon County Xplosion softball team.   We ended up squeaking out a first place finish out of about 20 teams.  The categories were entertaining and the only [...]0March 16, 2009

Make sure you check out Dan Naumovich’s latest Sunday AM column about ‘mulligans’, and their effect on the local trivia night scene.  I happened to have been playing with Dan during both of the mulligan-enriched instances he references in the column, so I saw the wheels turning on this thing before it hit the SJ-R.
