Spooky happenings at the Canterbury Ale House, where every Wednesday night it's King Trivia night!!! The night welcomed in eighteen teams with a collective of 80+ players!! 

Battling it out in the pursuit of all things trivial, were: 

  • The Pumpkin Spice Girls
  • Lunchbox Full of Bees
  • Its Giving Cher
  • The ballBOOsters
  • We Came to Make Friends, Not to Win
  • Skimbleshanks the Trivia Cat
  • Twentiesh Modish Nerdish Trivians
  • Team HACK
  • The Rereredeemers
  • Second to Last Place
  • The Beerenstein Beers
  • Zombies (Say it like the Cranberries sing it)
  • We Demand To Be Taken Seriously
  • Spooky Scary Skeletons
  • The starlets
  • 3 man squeeze
  • Jay Inslee’s emails
  • Jar Jar is a Sith

Going in strong and hot, four teams went Double or Nothing in Round One! Of the four teams, two successfully doubled their points: the team both "posh" and "scary", the Pumpkin Spice Girls, and the team living up to its' namesake, We Demand to be Taken Seriously

But perhaps not taking themselves seriously, We Demand to be Taken Seriously, was booted from the leaderboard in Round Three....

For the three rounds, the Pumpkin Spice Girls and team Its giving CHER did not release their hold of the leaderboard!! However, all shows must come to an end, and by Round Five it was "curtains" for these divas!  

Round Five saw five teams successfully go Double or Nothing, each respectively racking in twenty points for the round!!!

  • Lunchbox Full of Bees
  • We Came to Make Friends, Not to Win
  • Second to Last Place
  • Zombies (Say it like the Cranberries sing it) 
  • the Spooky Scary Skeletons

Of the five successful teams, Second to Last Place ironically slid into first place. But the real gamechanger and true upset of the evening came in Round Six....

Defying all odds and earning a collective *gasp* from the bar, the ONE-MAN-TEAM Lunchbox Full of Bees buzzed his way onto the leaderboard by once again doubling his points and bringing twenty points back the hive....

But in the end, there could only be three.... 

1st place: with a total of 67-points, the team that truly is "queen bee", Lunchbox Full of Bees!

2nd place: the team that utterly FAILED to live up to their namesake (but perhaps this team name ruse was a strategy all along?!), with a total of 60-points, Second to Last Place!!

And my personal favorite, the team actually arriving in second-to-last-place with a grand total of 22-points, and earning themselves the ever-so-coveted "Pity Pitcher" (a delectable pitcher of Rainier), team HACK!!

**ADORABLE CONTEXT ALERT: three years ago, the lovely couple making up team HACK had their third date ever at the Canterbury Ale House on trivia night wherein they won second-to-last-place. Serendipitously and serving up poetic symbolism akin to the Notebook, team HACK celebrated their three-year anniversary with us tonight, and once again landed in second-to-last place. **

As always, a huge shoutout to the Canterbury Ale House for the hosting and much love to their all-star staff: Boris, Danny, David, Laticia, and Scott. 

PS. I'll leave you with this (since it's Halloween season and in the end, the pursuit of all things trivial really is a game of shits and giggles....) 

Q: "Why did the ghost cross the road?" 
A: "To get to the other side" (said with scary, spooky ghost voice and arm motions). 

Trust me, this joke kills.... sorry not sorry.....

Hot diggity dog! It was a FULL house at the Canterbury Ale House, where every Wednesday night it's King Trivia night!!! Tonight's gauntlet of all things trivial boasted 19 teams with a collective 100 players (can you say, "SRO"?!?!)

Putting their trivial knowledge to the test were:

  • Risky Business
  • Only Murders at the Canterbury
  • "Most Likely to F*ck a Ghost"
  • Clever Team Name
  • Library Pirates
  • Hagus Dagus
  • The BallBusters
  • James & JJ are Late
  • We Came to Make Friends, Not Win
  • Horse Divorce
  • All About the Technique
  • Mooji
  • Pool Sharks
  • Pool Whales
  • Pikachu Palace
  • In Last Place
  • Red Raccoons
  • Seattle Anon
  • Butts 'n Cats & Butts 'n Cats

All teams seemed equally matched, with the leaderboard being controlled by a collective of five teams for the first half of the night...

However, in Round Five, the team "Most Likely to F*ck a Ghost" refocussed their efforts on winning trivia (perhaps being bored to death by the proverbial cuckold of Casper the not so friendly ghost....) and ended the night in 2nd place with a total of 67 points!! 

In 1st place, with a grand total of 72 points, yet another team that defied their namesake....We Came to Make Friends, Not Win!!!! (Cause let's face it, it truly is lonely at the top. So fuck ittttttt and to hell with friends!)

But let us not forget the most coveted prize of the night, the Pity Pitcher, a delicious pitched of Rainier, for the night's second to the last team: The BallBusters!!! (they may not have been bustin' balls for trivia, but they certainly busted a nut when that sweet sweet nectar called Rainier descended upon them from the piss-beer gods). 

As always, a huge shout out to the Canterbury Ale House for hosting and to their amazing staff:  Joey, Danny, David, Scott, Laticia, and Boris. 

Until next week.... 

XO Wes
