- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 7:00pm
Quizmasterin' takes all of one's focus to do properly, so imagine the unpredictable excitement that unfolded when this realized halfway through the game that the bloodthirsty fleas living on his cats had made the jump to him. And were hungry.
Despite seeing their officiant being eaten alive right in front of them, the packed house put up a great performance, filling the scoreboard with high achievement. None higher, though, than the always gifted Clean Up At The Tam, who took the night!

As the summer started heating up, so did the competition. A number of newcomers made their way to the Tam this night, but it was Trashley Wards who continued their great record this summer by taking the win.

Ballads and paeans; statues and ticker-tape parades. Medals from Alderaanian princesses wouldn't even be enough to say thank you!
Your humble Quizmaster - no - I am so grateful to each and every one of the Tam trivia family for the manner in which we all rolled with the punches this night. Despite a sudden, violent change of humors for myself, the show did indeed go on! With the help and encouragement of friendly faces around the room, heroes from within your own ranks rose without request and gave it their best as they finished off the competition -- including a tie-breaker for second place no less! Aided by the same sanguine attitude of the crowd, I quickly rushed to an escape vehicle with a pink mustache and was safely delivered to my home to continue my unexpected exertions in private. After the salvaged match, in which Trashley Wards earned a double win, additional samaritans arrived at my home to quietly deposit the vehicle and supplies I'd left behind.
It was a fairly seamless operation, an absolute success from triage to triumph, and there were multiple fine individuals who went above and beyond the call of trivial duty to accomplish the mission...but now that we know we can do it, let's never do it again!
THANK YOU!!!
