Even More Trivial Shenanigans

Ok, so we have Hair Of the Dog at the Empress, So You're a Clever Cunt at the EBC, well hold onto your hats cos as of Wednesday....

Here's everything you could possibly ever want to know about the ONLY place* to be on a Wednesday evening from this week onwards!

WHAT THE HELL IS IT?

Those of you who have attended the shambolic but ultimately heart-warming evenings of trivia idiocy at The East Brunswick Club on a Tuesday night will realise that it's not the sort of trivia four years of studying at some sort of tertiary institution can ever help you win. Not unless by "studying" you mean "surfing gossip websites" and by "tertiary institution" you mean NW Magazine Technical College.
It'll be hosted by Dave the Scot and yours truly. Dave has an adorable Scottish accent and swears in a devastatingly charming way. I have a heart of gold and do a wonderful interpretive dance to Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back To Me Now".

DO YOU DARE TO MISS SUCH AN EVENT?

.......Don't be like that, schnooky. It's not all questions regarding Paris Hilton's spadger you know! There's three rounds (Trash Culture, Music and Film-n-Television) and hell, we give away free beer EVERY THIRTY SECONDS (emotionally speaking - in reality, we give a jug away at the end of every round.).

AND WHAT'S THIS TRIVIA NIGHT CALLED, THEN?

Well, since So You Think You're A Clever Cunt? has already got The EBC's name stamped alllll over it, we're going for the charming, mature and 100% factually correct The Corner's Rock & Pop Culture Trivia Night.

NICE NAME, FOOLS. WEREN'T THERE ANY OTHER MONIKER CONTENDERS?

- DAVE THE SCOT AND JESS UNPLUGGED!
- SOOKS ANONYMOUS!
- MY MOTHER NEVER LOVED ME ENOUGH!
- TIFFANY DUNK 4 PRESIDENT!
- THRILLS, SPILLS AND SMS CHEATS!

You can see why we just went with The Corner's Rock & Pop Culture Trivia Night.
ESSENTIAL DETAILS PLEASE MISS, POST HASTE!
Starts Wednesday 28th June at The Corner Hotel around 7.30pm!$12 parma-and-pot deal!
Free entry (OMGWTFETC!!)
57 Swan Street, Richmond.Open till 3am (I think)!
Be there. Frankly, we need the validation.

*Unless you know of somewhere better, in which case, fair enough. And can you blag us an invite?

Thanks to the cow whisperer for the genius press release, she will go far that girl.

NIce Comeback

Andrew Bolt Forum 21/06/06

From: John
Comment: Hey Noel Perry - I am a male, married to a female. You know that "unnatural act" that gays supposedly do that you hate so much? You know, that one that you think God doesn't like because he created Adam and Eve??? Well, this Adam and this Eve (i.e. my wife and I) practise that "unnatural act" all the time. And I am 100% heterosexual and married.

Andrew replies: Too much information.

And I say a hearty bravo to John, a man prepared to show Andrew his brown wings.

Do you want it that badly?

Some of you may know me from my hosting commitments at some of Melbourne's better trivia nights. If you don't, then 'where the bloody hell are you' to coin a phrase. At these various nights we award teams with free booze, but it has come to my attention recently that some people refuse to play on a level playing field. To my mind this is just not cricket.

What are you talking about Quizmaster Dave?

I'll tell you, FUCKING MOBILE PHONES.

The quizzes I run are not 'Who want to be a Millionaire', it is not alright to phone a friend, it is cheating, if you don't know the answer then tough. What next, bringing your wireless laptop and googling the answers? It's not on I tell you and I'm sick of it.

Here endeth the rant.

The Ugly Face of Football

It may be the beautiful game but....
This is top referee Pierlugi Colina, he would not look out of place in the remake of The Hills Have Eyes.

And this is ex England player Peter Beardsley. He was the pretty boy of the England squad.


And then we have the best footballer in the world, at least he has something going for him. But don't you think he looks uncanilly like...
