LAST CALL USA and HINTS

Have you visited the  Last Call USA website and clicked on the “Hints & News” Link at the bottom of the page?

Why not?

In the “Trivia” section, there is a list of 7 items.  Each is an answer to a quiz question from a Last Call USA bar this week.

(You DO know that we have Trivia EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK, right? )

One of those items will be an answer for a question I will ask tonight.

This is a pathetically easy way to ensure at least one answer correct each week – so please check it every week. SO SAY WE ALL!



LIGHTHOUSE!:

You can become a fan of The Lighthouse and The Olde Harbor Inn on Facebook.

You know that because I bug you every week.

For the love of Mike, just do it!



There might be a contest later on the page. Believe it! Or not.



LIGHTHOUSE 2: Electric Boogaloo

And an EXACT DUPE OF INFO FROM LAST WEEK, STALE JOKES AND ALL:

ALSO on the Lighthouse front:

It is almost time for the Annual Portage Lakes Beer Tour !

And you know what that means!

And if you don’t know, go click the link above to find out more.  Or just click it here, again: And you know what that means!

ALSO:

Check out the Lightouse’s band schedule.

ALSO:

Did you know:

You can buy Olde Harbor Inn/Lightouse Bar and Grill gift certificates for all your loved ones?

America’s Trivia Sweetheart



*Note to Mom – it’s okay – it’s not really me.  Honest.  Click the link and take a look at the guy – he is much taller than I am, for one thing. . .

Another Trivial Tuesday - Rob Core at the Lighthouse - 7:30 PM - Be There or Be an Equiangular Rhombus!

Excelsior Triviatrons!



Close match last week!  The Canal Rats took the lead with a strong 74 points, closely followed by The Gooders with 71 points and E=MC Awesome at 70 points.

Great job by all teams, and I would like to take this time to formally welcome Team Cheaters, and say thanks for staying for the whole shoe last week.



I would like to, but I can’t.

Because I didn’t ask them for their email address.

Because I may be an idiot.

(If you have an opinion on this issue, either pro or con, please keep it to yourself, but please remind me to send the email sign up sheet around the room before we get started.  As always, feel free to spread the word around about the Tuesday show!)



LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS:

The scores on the website are not the final showings – LastCallUSA Central Command is still waiting on a few DJs to forward scores in to them.

However, as of this morning, we did have one team in the Top 20, and another just under that.

You probably know who you are, so keep your fingers crossed.

(You are probably on the LastCallUSA distribution, but I’ll send out a special NON-TUESDAY bulletin to alert you when I have the final standings, just in case.)

The Championship is at Spectators in Chesterland.  It’s a Saturday -  August 11th at noon.

I am not sure who is hosting, but I do know it is not me.

I am trying to clear my schedule to make sure I can attend.

More info as I have it!





I reminded you last week that you can move from the friend-zone to the friends-who-occasionally-share-a-little-sumptin’-sumptin’-(I-am-talking-about-nookie-in-case-I-am-not-clear)-zone with a weekly application of good trivia, bad jokes, and lots of booze.

No word on any success stories, but I’ll share any with the list if you send me one.





As always, you can find hints by going to the Last Call USA website and clicking on the “Hints & News” Link at the bottom of the page.

(Insert lame joke and link to a random website here.)

In the “Trivia” section, there is a list of 7 items.  Each is an answer to a quiz question from a Last Call USA bar this week.

(You DO know that we have Trivia EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK**, right? )

One of those items will be an answer for a question I will ask tonight.

This is a pathetically easy way to get at least one answer correct, so please check it every week.





LIGHTHOUSE/OLDE HARBOR INN NEWS:

You can become a fan of The Lighthouse and The Olde Harbor Inn on Facebook.

You know that because I tell you every week.

Did you see last week?

Steve, the owner, declared that I was an expert in Cleveland Indians Baseball from 81-83.

(Truth be told – not so much! )

But I put out a question, and offered a free drink to the first person to get it correct.

No one got it.

BUT THAT IS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT CHECK THE PAGE!

CHECK THE PAGE!

(WHY HAVE YOU NOT BECOME FRIENDS WITH THE LIGHTHOUSE OLDE HARBOR INN?  THEY ALWAYS SAY SUCH NICE THINGS ABOUT YOU!!)



Seriously though, go there and do that.



ALSO on the Lighthouse front:



It is almost time for the Annual Portage Lakes Beer Tour !

And you know what that means!

And if you don’t know, go click the link above to find out more.  Or just click it here, again: And you know what that means!

REMINDER ABOUT THE DRIVE OVER:

You are all big boys and girls.  Google it  your own darn self.



LASTCALLUSA News:

 Trivially,

Rev. Rob’t Core, esq.



I send this newsletter out each week.  Do you care?

I enjoy putting it together, but if you think it is annoying, or just don’t want to get it, please let me know – I’ll take you off my list.

 **As I typed last week, our NE Ohio page only has Trivia on some nights – but Last Call runs shows in Cincinnati, Indiana, NY, PA and more.  Do you have another favorite bar that you’d like to see run our Trivia show? (Or Name That Tune, or our Buffalo show?)  If you send me the following information:

•  The name of the bar

•  Their phone number

•  Their web address

•  The name of a contact there

•  Your name

I will have someone from Last Call get in touch with them and see if they are a good match.

If the bar signs up, I’ll buy you a drink.

Simple, no?

No?



Really?



Here is the equation

If (Referral)                    then      (sales call)

If (sales call)                 then      (bar signs up)

If (bar signs up)             then      (I buy you a drink)



Simple logic, honest!

(If someone can present this in actual formal symbolic logic in a way that is actually correct and makes sense, please respond and I will forward it out.)





SOOPER SEKRIT CONTEST QUESTION:

Crummy prize guaranteed for the first two CORRECT RESPONSES that I get IN PERSON.  EMAIL will not count.

Often mistaken for a cast member, this comedian who hosted SNL 8 times in the first 4 years of the show was never actually a member of “The Not-Ready-For Prime-Time-Players” – Who is he?

Trivia, Contest Cheating, Batherings and More . . .

Hello Triviationists,



Excellent show last week! Thanks for competing, and hello to all the new folks! I hope you come back.



Team GBA took top honors last week with 80 points, followed closely by e=mc Awesome at 78 and the Canal Rats with 77.

Brand new team Smashmouth came in 4th, an impressive showing, especially considering their late arrival.



Please invite your friends, enemies, frenimies, friends-with-benefits, friends-you-hope-to-have-benefits-with to come out to the Lighthouse tonight at 7:30.

Remember, nothing can take you from the friend-zone to the friends-with-benefits zone quicker than good trivia, bad jokes, and lots of booze.





Before you get to the repeats about checking the hint and what’s happening at the Lighthouse, I’d like to update you on the mystery contest I ran last week.

I asked:

On this day in 1832, who was inaugurated as President of the United States, following the death of Zachary Taylor?



The correct answer was NO ONE. Zachary Taylor died in 1850. Millard Fillmore took over after him.

(partial credit to a member of Team Gooders and a member of Team GBA for getting Fillmore correct. . . )

Is there another, better hidden contest this week?

Maybe.



I send this newsletter out each week. Do you care?

I enjoy putting it together, but if you think it is annoying, or just don’t want to get it, please let me know – I’ll take you off my list.

If you do like it (or at least find it mildly amusing or informative) please pass it on to folks.

If more people know about Tuesday Trivia, then more may show up.

If more people show up, the Lighthouse will do better business.

If the Lighthouse does better business, the longer they keep me there as Trivia Host.

It’s the Trivia Night version of the circle of life.*



As always, you can find hints by going to the Last Call USA website and clicking on the “Hints & News” Link at the bottom of the page.

The hints are shown at the top under the heading “This Week's Hints 7/15 - 07/21” (C'est incroyable, non? Oui, bien sûr!)

REMINDER ABOUT THE DRIVE OVER:

77/76/277 is all still lousy with detours and afoul with construction.

Your regular route may be closed, or detoured.

*** There is no three star point.

















**** HIDDEN CONTEST PART QUATRE

Following last week’s debacle, I’ll keep it a little more straightforward.



On this day in 1976, the summer Olympic Games opened in Montreal.

What 14 year old gymnast scored seven perfect 10s and won three gold medals?



First two winners guaranteed cheesy prizes!


















































































































































































































Kandahar, is






















































Really? You looked this far down? Again?

























































































































Seriously, go check Facebook or something.



























































































































Okay. Here.







ADDITIONAL HIDDEN HINT!

This is your reward for reading all the way down to the bottom of the email.

On this day in 1832, who was inaugurated as President of the United States, following the death of Zachary Taylor?

First two correct responses to this will get a really cheesy prize from me tonight.
