Seattlest Trivia Night Recap

Bucky.gif Last night a record 450 teams packed into the Old Pequliar for Seattlest Trivia. Sadly we had to disqualify 432 of the squads when they would not participate in the mandatory drug testing. The remaining 18 team answered questions on tragic romances, the World Series, John C. Reilly movies, and Project Runway.

Funny story, Trivia Master David didn't know how many seasons of Project Runway there were, and was shouted down when he announced that Santino was a finalist during Season 3. An argument erupted, punches were thrown, and, well, let's say those meaty men from the Seattle Fire Department couldn't save what was left of the Old Pequliar. However, the bar still plans on going ahead with their Halloween Karaoke on the 31st.

From his hospital bed David declared 'Forrest Whitaker Is the Last King of Portland' the winner of $145. 'Trick or Treating with NAMBLA' finished second and got $25, the always well dressed 'Groovy Ghoulies' pocketed ten bucks for their third place finish, and 'Fucking Shit!' finished last, winning the booty prize of beer logoed t-shirts and hats.

Next Tuesday Seattlest James will bring the heat, as Seattlest David and Seth stand nearby watching the World Series.
