The Hints

Are you just a homicidal megalomaniac with a turn for science? Because we're always on the lookout for guest hosts.

Here we have a hint from the illustrious Emily (Host Name TBD):

Soldiers, poets, and kings alike can emerge victorious in this quiz, but it takes a certain willingness to dabble in the dark.

What does that mean? I DON'T KNOW! But I'll find out tonight at 181 Cabrini!

You'll find us at 181 Cabrini every Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. That's why they call us the Quiz of Steady Habits.

I don't know if Geoffrey Thew really lives there, but he seems to have an affinity for it.

Said the Quizmaster to the Owner, "I have not any intentions of moving the goddamn team. If I did, I will tell you about it, but I'm staying here."

I promise, this time it's true. 

See you tonight for another Uptown Pub Quiz with a fabulous guest host!

Long and tall and tan and lovely, the UPQ quizmaster goes walking. But not too far, because the mic might cut out.

Some of us here at the Uptown Pub Quiz just got back from a vacation in Florida. Unfortunately, nobody got a chance to visit 6151 Richmond Street in Miami. Sigh... Maybe next time.

Christopher Smout has an interesting-sounding job.

Let no rude foe, with impious hand,

Invade the shrine where sacred lies

Of toil and blood, the well-earned prize

...That being the Jordy, of course. Who will go home with it tonight? There's one way to find out.

Cheesy varnish sounds delicious.

FYI folks: Professor Lone Star is sick and wrote his rounds in a head cold stupor. So just to be safe, you may want to review the winners of the award that has previously been known as "Outstanding Picture" and "Outstanding Production".

There's only about 95 years worth - that should be doable by 8pm tonight, right?

I hope you've all shoveled yourselves out of yesterday's winter storm and are ready for a night out on the town tonight. As always, the Uptown Pub Quiz is ready for a night out and will be there waiting for you at 181 Cabrini.

Tonight's quiz will be brought to you by "regular" host The Sadieist and guest host Rear Admiral Jen (who chose that name for herself).

Here's a hint o' the week from Jen herself. It's in the form of a movie trailer. Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day! Professor Lone Star here - My gift to you is a hint more than a day before Quiz Starts!

Since it's the season of love, why don't you send some love my mother's way and give her IMDB page some clicks? For those of you who are new to Uptown Pub Quiz, her name is Gail Cronauer, and she's kind of a big deal. Maybe you should familiarize yourself with what she's "known for".

What's that? You have a gift for me too? Oh... It's for the Pink Elephant Gift Exchange... 

No, it's fine - I wasn't really expecting you to get me anything... 

It's fine. I'm fine.

See you Wednesday at 8 with wrapped, unlabeled presents in tow!

Guest host Jay offers up this hint and beauty suggestion for tonight:

There are certain shades of limelight than can wreck a girl's complexion.

We think all the Quiz denizens are goodlooking, regardless of lighting or beverage consumption. Come check us out--not all of us are available, but Quizzing is a lot more engaging than just swiping.

Happy Quiz Day! Tonight, the Evil Mr. Phil and Mary O'Shag have cooked up...something.

Your hint may make your knees hurt in sympathy: "Let somebody do 312,000 squats...and then come back to me and ask why I'm retiring!"

See you tonight at 8:00PM at 181 Cabrini!

Happy Quiz Day! It's a new month, the scores have reset for February, and we have a special quiz planned for you tonight! It's a TEARWATER TEA TAKEOVER as we have not one but TWO fabulous guest hosts, JOEY TRIVVIANI and THE HUMAN MATHEMATICIAN!

Are you excited? I know I am. Here's a hint, just in cast you aren't:

Before One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and The Silence of the Lambs came this movie.

I have know idea what it means, but I'm looking forward to finding out!

See you tonight at 8:00PM at 181 Cabrini!

Folks, it's here - the last Wednesday of the month, and it's time to award the Jordy*. Join us tonight at 8 PM for five fabulous rounds of Trivia, and some astounding prizes!

But before we get to the good stuff, there are a couple important pieces of housekeeping:

1. The return of the Annual Pink Elephant Gift Exchange will be on Wednesday, February 15th. Participation is not mandatory, but if you DO participate the item should be $10-$20 in value AND should be non-perishable (don't bring a sandwich you forgot to eat for lunch). It should also, you know, be something someone would actually want...

2. In order to provide the best experience for everyone involved at the Uptown Pub Quiz and to continue to have it be free to play, everyone in attendance will be asked to abide by a $10 food/drink minimum. Two hours of free entertainment should be worth $10, right?

And with that out of the way, here's something to whet your whistle - The Hint of the Week!

Now I'm not saying that it would WIN you the night, but if anyone ever wanted to attempt an Edward Forty Hands at the Uptown Pub Quiz, they would at least get a Gold Star**.

* in either physical or metaphorical form.

** also in either physical or metaphorical form.

Don't think about it too hard! Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

See you at the quiz!

Tonight's quiz will be hosted by our outgoing quizmasters Naomi of the North and Jon "The Wonder" Wunder.

We're not sure what to expect, but Jon has generously offered this hint for tonight's quiz:

 Jon Wunder, 2 time Raingutter Regatta Champion!

I'm sure you'll figure out how to interpret that. Good luck! And we'll see you at 8 PM!

What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs, rolls over your neighbor's dog?

Vodka, triple sec, and lime, banzai!

Happy Solstice, and Happy Fourth Night of Chanukah!

We’re in a festive spirit tonight at the Uptown Pub Quiz, so I have a simple and festive hint for you!

Just follow this link.

And when you’re done watching that, figure out where your holiday sweaters are: we’re decking the halls and our bodies tonight, so come tonight wearing your favorite festive garb!

See you at 8PM tonight at 181 Cabrini!

This polygon goes to eleven.

Wednesday night is just mostly dead.

Today's weather is great for those who like getting caught in the rain. And if you like making love at midnight, you're in luck, because pub quiz will be over by ten.
