It’s time again for the famous Pub Quiz at the Wild Colonial. Teams can be from one to four people, no pre-registration required, just show up. Categories usually include current events, local trivia, maybe history or sports, and often some idiosyncratic or seasonal questions. And the 80’s rear their ugly head with some frequency. It always ends with a music category (12 or more audio clips) which will often hew to a theme that has been developed by the hilarious quiz masters. There are prizes for win, place and show. I don’t know what the prizes will be tonight, but the people over at Narragansett Beer have been coming up with some cool stuff lately. The artwork on their merch is a cut above the rest and they actually make T-shirts for the moderately-sized human (a.k.a. Europeans) as well as standard American (XXXXXXXL). So here is the free publicity that such promotional items are supposed to produce — happy to do it.

Yes, there are many claims on your time this evening. It is Father’s Day of course, but frankly, the average quiz-male seems barely capable of growing a beard much less fathering a child, so that shouldn’t be an issue. Also, what will Mo have on the telly tonight? The Celtics, being Irish-ish, certainly have a huge claim on Mo’s allegiance, but the theater people at Pub Quiz form a large and loyal customer constituency and may demand that he tune in ‘The Tonys’.

I’m gonna go out on limb and predict that the Celtics fans will overpower the Tony people. Game on.

If you’ve never been, here’s the dope. The quiz-masters will ask 6 questions in each of a variety of categories like current events, 80’s TV shows, maybe sports… or maybe a completely idiosyncratic made-up crazy topic. There is always a visual hand-out and the final music category will consist of 12 audio bites. Teams are from one to four people, and it’s explained as you go along. Good beer on tap, and the game will be on the tv. I really don’t know what game I might be talking about.

It’s best to know a little bit about a lot of things if you want to finish in the money (and by money I mean t-shirts and glasses) at the famous Wild Colonial Pub Quiz. Come tonight and test your broad-but-superficial knowledge against other savants and know-it-alls. Yup, despite the holiday, it’s on. And if your mom don’t like it, tell her you hope to win her a real nice present (it helps if she’s a size XXXXL and likes Jose Cuervo). Form a team of one to four people who have a wide range of interests — good friends who will forgive you when you confidently talk them out of the correct answer. There will be several categories such as; current events, maybe sports, music (audible), maybe history or movies, and perhaps… tonight… mothers!

Shown here is the MRI of a contestant who has just won a free plate of nachos at the Wild Colonial pub quiz (all lit up is the lateral frito-lobe, tucked just below the medulla con cheso). In addition to the prizes awarded for win, place and show in the regular quiz, there is always an extra nacho question. Just drop in and form your own team — from one to four people — the rules are explained as you go along. (If you can’t even figure out how to play, you are probably in over your head.) Cool prizes, great beer on tap, and a mirror in the ladies’ room.

From Kim Nelson:

Hey there-

How do I get someone to post about Trivia Night at RiRa?  Tuesday nights 8:30.  It’s the best way to spend a Tuesday evening! Full disclosure: I’m the host.

Thanks!

Why the hell don’t all you quizmasters hold events on different nights of the week?

Also, the Daily Dose team needs to watch more Jack Nicholson movies if it ever wants to win that Trinity growler.

You’re gonna get bombarded with stupid questions.

Tucker’s at Trinity Brew House at 8.

And more evidence that Terry desperately misses his gig at the GCB: He’s now hosting Tuesday trivia nights at Blue State Coffee — 300 Thayer St.
