Other topics included in my weekly pub quiz include geography, film, math, novels, TV commercials, biology, artists, true crime, celebrities, food, current events, comics, musicians, cartoons, politics, languages, human anatomy, local trivia, etc.
Music
Every night, I do a round called "I Don't Feel Tardy," in which I play clips of songs, for which you must identify the artist and song title. Each week I will prepare an eclectic mixture of genres, which might include New Wave, Classical, Hip Hop, TV Theme Songs, Punk, Ska, Disco, Folk, Heavy Metal, Soundtracks, Rock, Blues, Oldies, stuff that "the kids" are listening to right now, Opera, Goth, Reggae, Grunge, Jazz, Classic Rock, Doo-Wop, R & B, Country, Show Tunes, and maybe even some Lite Rock for us all to laugh at.
Round two is "Potato Power," in which I challenge your knowledge of about TV and movies. If TV was your favorite babysitter when you were a kid, you'll do just fine on this one.
Books
I may ask questions about literature, comics, grammar, poetry, non-fiction, children's books, vocabulary, figures of speech, etc.
Heroes
My magnificent regular teams include veterans such as Dr. Bagelman's Hour of Hate and Fellatio Hornblower, as well as promising newcomers such as Dana Plato's Republic and Trivia Newton-John!
Welcome, triviologists! Come and play fun and free pub quizzes with me and the gang . . . ShanRock's Triviology is the best in the land! Don't take my word for it, though - there is "proof" in black & white: my pub quizzery was chosen as Willamette Week's
Best Use of State-Dependent Learning, and I am also
The Best Entertainer in North Portland, according to The Sentinel.
Here is the weekly schedule. All pub quizzes hosted by my own damn self, Trivia Jock ShanRock, unless otherwise noted!
Prizes: In addition to beer swag type prizes (Bacardi glasses, Camel ashtrays, etc.), this is the ONLY Triviology venue to offer a CASH PRIZE! The bar puts up a buck for every brain that shows up to play, so the more players, the bigger the pot! Also, the winning team gets to pick the drink special for the following week!
Prizes: Winning team gets either La Merde T-shirts (which proclaim that you were "The Shit" at Trivia Night) or gift certificates!

Yay for Clash pictures going up!!! I am going to steal all of the ones with Dana Plato's Republic in them, after all we aren't only the most awesome team, we're the best looking!!! :)
This Thursday At the Goodfoot (2845 SE Stark) you need to show up at 10 PM with 7 bucks (a $5 & 2x $1's'll do.) and you will get to check out PUBLISH the QUEST, JOINT VENTURE &THE MANIMALS. The Manimal's are my roommates band, they have reconfigured their line-up & sound and their set is gonna be off the hook, and afterwards they'll totally be down for you buying them a beverage. If you like funk, soul, hip-hop, or just plain feel good music this show is a must. If you can't make it, you're a bum. If you can make it, you're a champion! So in conclusion you must attend this event to have a good time Thursday. If you decline to come, don't hold me responsible for you stubbing your toe, getting stung by a bee, burning the roof of your mouth on pizza, getting a red hand on a killer high five, bonking your head under the dinner table, getting hit by a car, struck by lightning, horned by a bull, or having faulty breaks and driving your car off a cliff.
oh, he'll absolutely be a dick. however, you'll like this dick because he's a clever one that leprekey is. the kind that makes you look at yourself and say, hey! it ain't that fucked.
I say Leprekey. It has that // sais pas // rhythm pronounce thingy. it rolls better with double old fashioned confidence. le, as in leh. pre as in preh, and key, as in keee. you can almost assume one would animate his or her hands, wrists and shoulders as if to shudder, flex and wince at the same time, but always keeping their eye on the prize: your undivided attention.
Shannon! I think I know what Smorgasbord means! It means butter goose table! The Swedish word for sandwich is smörgås, which literally means 'butter goose' (so said my Swedish teacher anyway) and bord means table. Here is a picture of my teacher:
