Alright ninjas, it begins!

You may be wondering what Lush Rush is, but the best way to learn is to come experience it for yourselves! In a nutshell, its all the things we do normally anyway, but bigger, better, and more importantly for you, CHEAPER! Peep out the specials below:

Lush Rush Daily Specials

• 2-4pm and 2-5am – 20rmb burgers (beef, chicken, teriyaki chicken and tofu)
• Happy Hour, 8-10pm: Buckets of 7 Tsingdaos for 40rmb and 1/2 priced cocktails

Pyromania Daily Specials

• In-store special: Free soda/beer pitcher with any pizza purchase
• Delivery/Carryout Special: Large Pizza for the medium price
• Happy Hour, 9pm-midnight: 20rmb pitchers of Tsingdao and 6 shots for 30rmb (tequila, kamikaze, lemon drop, etc)

Categories – Entertainment, Geography, Cindell’s Mythology round, Scandals & Disasters, and Music!

Winners – Pink on the Brink rocks first place for the second week in a row for a very good start in the leaderboard, Quiz in my Pants pulls second place, edging out Parasailin’ with Sarah Palin by just half a point, overall a very fun and competitive week for quizgoers!

Sample Question – Who (fictional character) was the first Muppet on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

Last Week’s Answer – Mae West

Leaderboard – Quite obviously, Pink on the Brink with their two wins in a row, stand atop the board of leaders. Behind them, Quiz in my Pants holding strong in second, and tied for 3rd down the line of leaders, Kidneys Come and Go, and Parasailin’ with Sarah Palin. Don’t forget though, points add up, and it only takes a couple good showings to take over one of the top spots, so get out there and kick some quizzical ass!

I never like seeing anyone get on a plane and put China behind them, and its definitely not easier when its someone like Cindell who’s been a big part of the Wu scene for so long, but we wish her well in the future! One hell of a sendoff though! We’ll miss you my dear, and hopefully we’ll have a welcome back party before you get too comfortable back home!

Categories – Ladies First, Twins, Rich’s Band Pictionary round, Designer Connections, Get Psyched Music!

Winners – Pink on the Brink, Kidneys Come and Go, and Quiz in my Pants, take up the top three positions in the first week of the new leaderboard!

Sample Question -What world famous sex symbol of last century was famously quoted as saying, “There are no good girls gone wrong, just bad girls found out.”?

Last time we did a recap’s Answer -Deng Xiaoping

Leaderboard – With this being only the first week, the teams above are First, Second, and Third, in order. Following them we have Pee Joe’s Beer Flow’s and The Inbetweeners for 4th and 5th, but the real test of the leader board comes in each team’s stay power, through the course of the next 10 weeks. Can you perform week in and week out to stay in the running for one of our 3 grand prizes?

Nothing makes a Lush Rush quite like an awesome pub quiz to separate the ninjas from the pirates, the Seinfeld people from the Friends people, the Scifi geeks from the Fantasy nerds, and other such nerdy brainiac references. If quiz wasn’t enough to scramble people’s minds, there’s the 555 party afterward, where 5rmb beers, gin & tonics, and tequila shots help to turn all that powerful brain fluid into some 40proof uninhibited mush!

Boom goes the dynamite! Behold, the Wudaokou Centurion Warriors!

Put your brain on the line for a bottle of Jack, and then come down to Pyro for the legendary 5-5-5 Party

Every Wednesday after Quiz, we rock down to Pyro for 5rmb Tsingdaos, 5rmb Gin & Tonics, and 5rmb tequila shots.  When you call in ‘sick’ to school on Thursday morning, don’t say we didn’t warn you, and no, we won’t sign your doctor’s note, unless you want it to reek of the left over tequila we dribble off our chins.

Cosmopolitan – the classic cocktail made more famous through its numerous appearances on Sex in the City.

Peach Cosmo – a slightly sweeter variation on the classic, complete with a slice of peach.

Apple Martini – rumor has it, its Sue Sylvester’s favorite flavor of protein powder.

Espresso Martini – what better way to get your drink on than with a delicious martini made with a shot of espresso!

Classic Martini – gin or vodka, dirty or classic – shaken, not stirred, with just the right amount of delicious.

Its been called Beijing’s best, hardest, sexiest, most fun, and it certainly can become the drunkest quiz there is in this fine city! The Lush Pub Quiz can be all that and more! Come down, start or join a team, and order a beer while you try for the chance to win a bottle of Jack Daniels!
