A wise man once said, “Only three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and the JOE Friday Pub Quiz.”
And as it was written, so shall it be. Gaze thee upon this week’s quiz: a test of your intelligence and resolve. Only the strong survive, and the weak will surely perish in a swamp of low scores and foolishness. The trials this week are as follows:
The first round shall be US State Nicknames, and the second shall be Sport. The round by the number of three shall be Pixar Voice Actors, and the Picture Round shall be Bridges. The last of these rounds, by the number of five, shall be General Knowledge.
Happy Birthday, Piers Kelly. Don’t mess this up.
