Remember, each QE daily tournament runs from 8am to 8pm PST.
  • Monday - Phobias: If you can't face your fears, can you at least name them? Certainly you don't suffer from triviaphobia?
  • Tuesday - A Fighting Chance: Your kung-fu will be tested by today's 12 karate-chopping, pike-wielding, St. Crispin's Day-memorializing Qs. En garde!
  • Wednesday - Merry Olde England: Did someone say "St. Crispin's Day"? We're taking it back to the land of falling bridges, excessive use of the letter 'U', and actors who do American accents better than Americans.
  • Thursday - I'm Ready For My Mugshot, Mr. DeMille: Some actors can play bad. Some just are bad. And the rest are intoxicated. 12 Qs about famous people and their infamous moments.
  • Friday - How's the Weather: Whether you're ready to weather the weather of the weekend, we're unleashing some weather Qs, which may be a bellwether of things to come. Also, weather.

Week 42 themes

Week 42, beginning this Monday, August 24th, is Question Everything: Science-Fiction!
  • Monday - Cinematic Sci-fi: We'll take you from Jupiter to beyond the infinite and back. My God, it's full of stars... and trivia!
  • Tuesday - TV Sci-fi: Like its cinematic predecessor, but on a smaller budget.
  • Wednesday - Super Synthetics: Qs about the most memorable robots in sci-fi. Or as Bishop in Aliens prefers, artificial people. They're sensitive about that.
  • Thursday - Star Trek: If you've been where no one has gone before, you'll survive this day better than Unnamed Ensign in Red Uniform on an away mission.
  • Friday - Star Wars: We'll finish the week with The Holy Trilogy. (Allegedly, there were three other films, too.)
Of course, don't forget about LoneRider's Shotgun Betty Blast, entering it's 4th week on Monday.

Remember, you can wrangle the answers to at least 3 of each day's Qs by visiting Lonerider.me, following @shotgun_betty on Twitter, and joining LoneRider's Facebook group. And if you friend LoneRider Beer on Facebook, follow @loneriderbeer, and sign up for the Brewsletter, you'll be sitting even higher on the hog.

Yee-haw, space cowboys!

Week 41 of the All-Purpose Question Everything Challenge begins this Monday, August 17th. Five days, five themes:
  • Monday - Japan: The Land of the Rising Sun is an enchanting, mysterious place of samurai, geisha, and Hello Kitty. Only the country that lives in the future could produce such things.
  • Tuesday - Planes, Trains, & Automobiles: It's not the destination, it's the journey. And it's not even the journey, it's how cool your ride is.
  • Wednesday - Breakfast of Champions: Silly Rabbit, breakfast is for kids who eat puffed and/or mashed corn coated in all sorts of sugary goodness. Hey, Mikey!
  • Thursday - Rivalries: In order to be the best, you have to beat the best. With a bat, in some cases. 12 of history's best rivalries, sports and otherwise, will be highlighted with these Qs.
  • Friday - Hollywood goes to World War II: The Second World War defined "The Greatest Generation." It also carved out a nice little sub-genre of Hollywood. Today, we look at the real conflict as well as the rollicking cinematic adventures it inspired.

As LoneRider Brewery's Shotgun Betty Blast enters its 2nd week of competition, Betty has seen fit to give ya ruffians a little leniency. The answers to at least 3 questions per day can be found at the following three sites:And the Qs will be identified like so...
...and if you're wondering, yes, this is one of this week's questions. Of course, I can't tell you when it'll play, so just answer as many as you can.

Again, that's three Qs out of 10 total per week day, which means the odds of you winning the $20 LoneRider Brewery Gift Certificate are that much better. What have you got to lose, cowboy?
