An intellectual battle of epic proportions will be held Sunday, April 27 at 9pm. A team of ‘Rag writers will take on a team of Bee writers for the title of “Biggest Smarty Pants” at the weekly pub quiz at Streets of London.
Should you wish to witness the epic battle, or pit your own wits against these two towering intellectual juggernauts, or just wish RunnerGirl a happy birthday, drop on by the J Street location of Streets. We’ll be the team with overly frosted grocery store cake on our table.

Well they definitely have people who know their music, movie, and theater lore. Is their weakness soccer trivia?

I’ll have to remember to bring RG some “special” birthday prize. Put your requests in now. For a small honorarium I can make all the questions about the Brooks corporation, running etiquette, or local eateries.
Love, The Quizmaster.
PS–
By the way, if you want a table get there at about five as it will probably be uncomfortably packed.

Funny. My daughter’s birthday is April 27th.

How about journalism questions? That might be a good contest… Like, who were Murrow’s Boys?
Why was Eric Severeid investigated by the FBI?
What was 2005 a bad year for Mitch Albom?
Who said “Journalism is the publication of facts that somebody wants suppressed. Everything else is public relations.”
Who was “the most trusted man in America” for 19 years, until he retired in 1981?
I mean, most people can’t graduate from J-school without knowing all of these, right? That’s just kindergarten stuff. You guys can come up with something better.

You’re going DOWN, Sac Rag! I’m doing mental push-ups as we speak.

The answer to the tie-breaker will be “Ferde Grofe”, mark my words.

Please ask many questions about beer and The Simpsons, thanks.
I’ll be wearing my Cake T-shirt and eating Cake. Please do not think that members of any local bands will be harmed in this process.

And the title of “Biggest Smarty Pants” goes to…?
posted 4/27/08 at 11:50 pm #
Does this have to be a competition?????
OK, OK…
1st place overall - The SacRag (score of 30)
2nd place overall - The SacBee (score of 27)
And the other 25 teams or so, not as well as the big brains on these two teams.

I thought that The Sac Bee had 29, and Drink Tank had 27?

Woo-hoo! In your face, SacBee! We’re number one! Can we go out and riot in the streets now?

You are correct RG:
SacRag = 30 (1st-30 bucks)
Sacbee = 29 (2nd-20 bucks)
DrinkTank=27 (Porn)
I think it was close enough that there should be a rematch

Hmmm…maybe there should be a trophy. How about challenging other local media outlets. Kick some KXJZ butt? Bring on some KCRA peeps?

Who cares about 1st and 2nd place. Looks like 3rd is the desired target here.
posted 4/28/08 at 10:04 am #
thanks for the correction!

3rd got my team Screamin’ for Semen a few weeks back. We were one correct answer away from getting Camel Toe Perversion too. Damn.

I thought Screamin’ for Semen was the title of Rob Halford’s forthcoming autobiography.
