Categories – Entertainment, Ranks and Titles, Country Shapes, Literary Quotes, and Music

Winners – The Dove Brothers arise up to take first place and drink a well deserved bottle of Jack Daniels, while Southbound tries to sneakily give away my phone number to the entire room while they place second, and Quiz in my Pants takes third.

Sample Question – What famed author once wrote, “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned?”

Previous Question’s Answer – Saudi Arabia and Vatican City.

Leaderboard – The Leaderboard starts this week with the above teams sealing First, Second, and Third so far. Kidneys Come and Go and Boobies on the Brink will tie for 4th place, with Wish we had a Table taking up 5th place.

Yen White

Yen White baby! The year’s first Yen party happens this Friday.

What is Yen you ask?

I’m glad you did. Yen is the combination of Beijing’s best electronic DJs, a bomb-ass dance floor, delicious drinks mixed up by our trusty Lush staff, and typically some sort of theme to tie it all together.

So, get over to Lush, grab a ticket to Yen White, go find yourself something fashionable and white to where (match your friends for extra effect) and we’ll see you at Tango 3F this Friday night!

Pub Quiz Recap (Nov. 17th 2010)

Posted by Josh on Nov 19, 2010 in Editorial, Events, Lush, Pub Quiz | 0 comments

Categories – Money in Movies, Album Covers, Geography, Women’s Studies, and Hip/Hop Music

Winners – In an all too familiar trend, Southbound Pachyderm comes back from their less than normal showing last week to take number 1 with a bullet again this week. Kidneys Come and Go had their best performance in a month to take second, and the weekly name-changers who this week went with Gandhi’s Militia battled hard to finish out the top 3.

Sample Question – (Women’s Studies) What are the only 2 remaining countries that specifically deny the right to vote to women? (Must specifically deny all women, it doesn’t count if both men and women are restricted or fully denied the vote)

Last Week’s Answer – Sofia Coppola

Leaderboard – Southbound, with this win will all but seal their first place win for this semester’s leaderboard, which would be in danger of a tie if, and only if, they no-show next week, or score the lowest score possible and Pink on the Brink gets first place. That being said, anything can and often does, happen. Kidneys Come and Go are guaranteed third at this point, for what has been one heck of a season for the Lush Pub Quiz Leaderboard. Big thanks to all the teams who came week after week, even if you aren’t in the top 10, and an extra special thanks to Southbound, Pink on the Brink, Kidneys Come and Go, Nuns with Guns, and Quiz in my Pants, all of whom missed 1 or fewer quizzes, and in case its not obvious, the top three teams didn’t miss a single week of the action.

You guys rock!
