Laser Rocket Arms hates it when we call them "the new Husker Don't." Then again, they keep winning, so our motivation to stop doing so is minimal. 16 teams played the quiz, and the mighty Arms overcame a second-place finish at halftime to take the lead in the end. The loudest groan of the night came during the Nudity category, when Seattlest asked this question: Janet Jackson had a famous breast-exposing wardrobe malfunction during......

Seattlest James took a time-out from showering the Nickels administration with Gwen Stefani tickets and El Gaucho gift certificates to host the quiz last night at the Old Pequliar. Nine teams took refuge from the sunshine and warm weather to sit in a dimly -- excuse us, atmospherically -- lit bar and answer 80 questions in an attempt to win money. It was an intimate turnout. The winners? Freshly renamed The Origin of Spensor......

The quick answer: there is still Seattlest Trivia at the Old Pequliar. But now it only comes around every five weeks or so. After Seattlests Seth and David hung up their quiz caps, a number of people signed up to join the quiz-hosting rotation at the Old Pequliar. (So for now, no slots are open.) Regular players NAMBLA debuted as hosts this past Tuesday with an excellent quiz, and they'll be doing it again.......

Last night it was the Fucking A's turn to drink from the shot glass of victory. They were the big winners at Seattlest Trivia, and took home...a large amount of money. The Lushy McLushertons and The Gasface slushed around for a second place tie, which was won by the former Laser Rocket Arms. Seattlest David would like to point out to all those in attendance, that even without the six Mirror Pounds, he still would......

Results of the experiment: Last night 19 teams played the quiz at the Old Pequilar. If we'd been playing under classic $5/team rules, that would've been a pot of $190. Since we expanded the maximum team size to 6 and switched to $1/person, we ended up with a pot of $168 (84 players, pot matched by the OP). We ask you: is the smaller prize pool worth it? Old friends Laser Rocket Arms took first......

"Who are you guys?" asked a team correcting their quizzes. Hüsker Don’t won Seattlest trivia last night. They got only 4 questions wrong on the entire quiz. We overheard a couple of teams discussing paying them not to show up, and another couple discussing paying someone to ensure they can't show up, if you know what they mean. If there were any question: they're back. Who's not back? Seattlest Seth. We don't know what......

As he stumbled and bumbled through last night's quiz one thing was certain, Seattlest David was having serious issues rocking the mic. He considers it a miracle that only one coaster was thrown at him. In the end 'Laser Rocket Arms' came away with the top prize, followed by 'Why Can't Walter Read', and 'Dean's List.' 'The Fucking A's' finished fourth, and picked Jazz Music as a round for next week. Seattlest Seth will host......

25 teams! Free ashtrays for the taking! Controversy about whether or not Bangor is a "city" or just part of Bremerton! And a geeky white boy dance-off to close the evening! Yes, last night's Seattlest trivia at the Old Pequilar was, again, a madhouse -- the fun and exciting kind of madhouse. Our friend Brannon fulfilled a lifelong dream of writing a trivia quiz and making his friend read all the questions -- and a......
